Cannot Monitor Track While Recording -ACID Product Family

Subject:Cannot Monitor Track While Recording Posted by: Rare Form Date:1/1/2009 5:38:53 PM I just got ACID Music Studio 7 and cannot hear the track that I am recording. I get VU meters. I get wave data on the track and it wll play back once it is recorded but will not allow me to hear that track while armed to record or while recording. I am using M-Audio 410 Firewire. I am about to return the software because as of now it is useless to me. I can monitor while recording with Pro Tools and with Adobe Audtion but not with ACID. ACID does recognize my M-Audio interface. Please Help.

(Include the chain, like instrument connections, headphone connection, etc.) By default, ACID does not have software input monitoring on. (I'm suspecting that software input monitoring is on in Pro Tools and Audition.) Even then, you're better off letting the hardware do it for you unless you want to hear any software effects on a recorded track. Iacobus
