Hello

Just wondering if you can run both versions of Acid 6d and 7a on the same computer? Do you need to uninstall Acid Pro 6d before installing 7a or can you have both on the same system? What do people recommend before installing the Acid Pro 7 update Hardcopy version? Any tips or heads up responses would be very welcome.

Lastly, after reading the posts on the new forum (re-energized acid forum) I'm going to purchase the Acid Pro 7 update. I've been really impressed with Peter and other sony tech who seem to have lightening fast responses and a quick update to 7a to boot. I really feel Sony has a great piece of software with improved service and I'm pumped to begin recording again with the new version.

No problem. I am doing that right now.

Do you need to uninstall Acid Pro 6d before installing 7a or can you have both on the same system?

Nope. Install 7.0a as you please - the installer will put it in it's own folder space.

What do people recommend before installing the Acid Pro 7 update Hardcopy version?

If you mean the 7.0a update - you do not even have to install the original 7.0 if you don;t want to. Just download 7.0a and fire it up - authorize and you are good to go.

Any tips or heads up responses would be very welcome.

Tips:

1. As with any new "host" install - try to make sure your VST plugs are installed correctly in their right spots - and if at all possible, a single location - makes the AP7 plugin scan much easier.

2. If Media Manager has a part in your workflow - get the new 2.4 update and get that in place before your AP7 install. I found that if installed first - AP7 just picks it up and you are ready to roll.

Cheers!

Thanks for all your help and tips.

You don't have to install Media manager with Acid 7 correct? Can you choose to not install media manager when you install Acid pro 7?

Lastly, do you know how the UAD-1 cards are working with the new version of acid pro 7?

Thanks again

No problem - glad to help out.

Correct - you can "opt in" and install that separate package - or not.

Lastly, do you know how the UAD-1 cards are working with the new version of acid pro 7?

So far so good over here. Much more robust than 6.x ever was.

Cheers!
