Okay, its close to coming to this. ACID 7 has somehow managed to delete a lot of audio files, has somehow slowed my computer right down, and is generally just really, really starting to annoy me.
It's looking very likely that I am going to purchase SONAR 8 to use as my main DAW and was wondering if it is possible/legal to somehow unregister my copy of ACID and re-sell it to a friend, or on ebay, etc..
I will continue to use Sound Forge, which is a great program.

Was this before or after you sorted out the problems with re-routing etc?

You can do this but you must contact Sony Creative's support to notify a transfer of ownership so that they may issue a new serial to the new owner. You must also surrender everything (media, etc.) to the new owner.

Understand your frustration. Programmers don't know what it's like to not know. This makes trouble shooting tough. I may sell my software as well.

I spent two months trying to get acid midi to work and did nothing but frustrate the support people. When they were unable to solve my problems they offered no apology, no way to speak to someone else. I insisted - they finally gave me a non working number at Sony. They now want me to purchase another plan for support. My respect for them is at an all time low. I will admit however, that the loop programs work very very well and have saved me alot of time composing.

What exactly is giving you the fits as far as the MIDI features, paul?
