I work in a local theater and bought acid studio for it because I use pro at home. I thought I'd be able to record multitracks at the site and bring them home to work with (which works) and then take them back to the theater and tweak them (which doesn't)... I thought one of the features of acd projects was that you could collaborate with people in different locations... no longer true?

What versions of Pro and Music Studio are you using?

This explains it.

ACID Music Studio 7 is based upon ACID Pro 6. It cannot read ACID Pro 7 projects.

We currently do not ship a version of AMS that supports ACID Pro 7 based projects.

nor does pro7 provide a save as acid 6 option... I find it disappointing that the acid pro7 community is thus isolated from anybody else using the same family of software...

Even the, supposedly, evil microsoft allows saves to older versions... pity...

Correct. The reason is that ACID Pro 7 introduces features that cannot be exported to a previous version of ACID Pro or AMS. You would loose information in the transfer.

...and that's exactly my point. When you save from MS Office to asn earlier format you are warned about losing features, but since you're the human, it allows you to save it because it assumes you know what you're doing. I've already made the suggestion for version saves in the appropriate place, was just hoping to hear something different from youse guys than I did :)

I don't disagree with you. It will be reviewed and considered for a future version of ACID.

Thanks,
Peter
