Hello
Resizing the windows in Acid 7.0e seems to create noise, stuttering.
This doesn't includes zoom in or out.
I also noticed any opening of new windows, or minimizing the acid program ,while playing a tune in acid cause some noise or stutter of the play back.

Is this because of my video card?
Ati 4600 series...001.015.000.012 bios.

What should I do to remedie, help or solve this?

Thanks
Les

Could generally be a driver issue. Did you update the drivers for your video card and your audio interface to see if that helped?

Sometimes, having only one hard drive can be troublesome; usually it's best to have another drive used for your media projects so that your system isn't trying to simultaneously access the media in your project while doing system-specific tasks.

If soundcard (or Fireewire, or USB) is in slot next to AGP, or shares some resources, that can also often be the cause of such problems.

You might try going into the settings for the video card and turning Video acceleration down a notch. That seems to solve a lot of issues with display activity interfering with program operation.

Thanks for the help people...
I have changed out an old video card for a newer one.
The old one worked fine, and I had no problems with stutter before.
PCI x16 1.0.

I use ATI products...the older card was a Radeon x1300.

The newer card is PCI 2.0. 4670 series..I was told that i could put a 2.0 card on a 1.0 PCI x16 slot....and it would work...?..well it does work...but that things stutter in Acid when moving windows and sliding pains when playing and working on my tunes seems to be a problem now....you'd think things would get better as one upgraded hardware...eh?

Latest drivers have been installed...and I have turned everything down in the video card application to the bottom end ...I assume that is correct...?... wonder what happens if I turn it up to full throttle?...would it not be faster?...faster makes less feedback or bottleneck?

I have four large hard drives, and I put all my loops and libraries on a dedicated drive for music...So it isn't that...or I should think not anyway.

Because I just updated a few things including the update to Acid pro 7.0e...I thought Id see if this can be the problem/issue with the new update?


When I do music I turn off the virus stuff...and fire walls too.
Not that they ever possed a problem with Acid for me in past testing/usage.

I may just put the old card back in...it still is a good card for this PC...

Thanks people.

God Bless!

Check your audio device latency settings. They may have defaulted when you upgraded to "e". I had a similar problem with "d' at one time and when I upped the audio latency things work a lot better. I too thought it was a video issue...nope audio device settings oddly enough.
