Subject:Video vs. MIDI in Acid 3.0 Posted by: Habitual Date:4/27/2001 10:52:33 PM Peter, The "decision" to not provide event editing that you speak of.....what was that based on? I find it very hard to believe there were more users who requested video integration, than those who begged for (full)MIDI support. But then again, the screenshots on your website sure do look flashy and inticing with those cool video images all over the ACID layout........ Oh well. after youve sold enough units, maybe you can focus a little more energy on MUSIC creation features in a minor upgrade. If your marketing department approves, that is. Nothing personal Peter.

I think SF was trying to focus more on their existing product and enhancements to it than trying to bring Acid into competition with existing products like Cakewalk, Cubase, and Reason.

I like 3.0 you can now add DX FX to a trk, The Beatmapper is God sent for doing Remixes, What took me a few hours to chop and do sample skipping can be done in a few seconds. And the new Vegas style Busses and Assn. FX. DLS (Down Loadable Sounds)Softsynths And some stuff Sonic Foundry hasn't even posted On the web like Saving as Acid.zip! You can take you Acid project and save as a.zip.What it does is it takes ALL the files and zip them as ONE file. so now you can e-mail it to anyone with 3.0 and they can open it. I did a 43mb file it zip it to 29mb. CD extraction I have about 50 to 60 audio sample CDs Do you know how long its taken me to Convert them to Acid format? Now I can pop in an Audio CD and pull the samples right off the CD and Cut it up in the Chopping Block. Im glad SF did not take Acid to "BE ALL DO ALL Program" Some people will bet their lives that Cakewalk is the BEST, Logic is the BEST, Cubase is the BEST, let them keep what ever they LOVE and still use Acid to take their music to another level.

Peter,

The "decision" to not provide event editing that you speak
of.....what was that based on?

I find it very hard to believe there were more users who
requested video integration, than those who begged for
(full)MIDI support.

But then again, the screenshots on your website sure do
look flashy and inticing with those cool video images all
over the ACID layout........

Oh well. after youve sold enough units, maybe you can
focus a little more energy on MUSIC creation features in a
minor upgrade. If your marketing department approves, that
is.

Nothing personal Peter.
