Some Projects Not Playing Back -ACID Product Family

Subject:Some Projects Not Playing Back Posted by: Adji Date:3/1/2010 8:32:00 AM Ah this is annoying. For some reason about 90 per cent of my projects are not playing back? They look and act like they are playing back but no sound, other than an occasional snippet or a glitch. I don't think it is a hardware issue (TASCAM US-1641) as some projects are playing back without problems, but I can't be 100 per cent sure. Any ideas? AP7 by the way.
Subject:RE: Some Projects Not Playing Back Reply by: Iacobus Date:3/1/2010 10:32:51 AM Could be a driver or firmware issue. Try any of the latest updates at TASCAM's site yet? Iacobus
Subject:RE: Some Projects Not Playing Back Reply by: Adji Date:3/3/2010 5:14:27 AM Thanks man, drivers were already all updated. When I click to bypass all audio FX on the whole mix (in the options tab or something) then it plays back fine. So I figured maybe it is a VST causing the problem, but I went through them all one by one and tried removing them, none of them seemed to fix the problem. It is not (I don't think) a computer problem as my computer is only using between 17 and 21 per cent CPU when playing back the track WITH the effects, but I still am not getting an audio played back. Any more ideas anyone? Thanks.
Subject:RE: Some Projects Not Playing Back Reply by: pwppch Date:3/3/2010 8:05:03 PM They look and act like they are playing back but no sound,... I take this to mean that all of the meters on the Mix Console are active and moving during playback? Since bypass all FX make the sound work, then some plug-in must be causing this. Can you list all of the plug-ins you are using and exactly where you are using them in a project that causes this problem? Peter
Subject:RE: Some Projects Not Playing Back Reply by: Adji Date:3/5/2010 8:27:32 AM Okay man, I'm only using five or six plug ins, just a couple of instances of each really. No big name ones, just free ones which have been reliable for a few years. Yes the meters are moving, but no sound. I will list the plugins later when at my computer.
Subject:RE: Some Projects Not Playing Back Reply by: Adji Date:3/5/2010 9:12:41 AM I think I found the culprit, Density MKII by Bootsy Plugins. I think I had some trouble with this back on AP6. Shame, its a great plugin.
Subject:RE: Some Projects Not Playing Back Reply by: Pindal Date:3/6/2010 3:00:09 PM I have the same problem since Acid Pro 7d. Some of my old projects don´t have sound. Meters move O.K. but no sound
Subject:RE: Some Projects Not Playing Back Reply by: Adji Date:3/9/2010 6:03:43 AM I had to delete Density MKII from my computer, not just my projects, in order for it to run smoothly again. Do you have this plugin?
Subject:RE: Some Projects Not Playing Back Reply by: Pindal Date:3/9/2010 9:20:06 AM No, I don´t have density MKII
