Multi-Track Recording with Acid 3.0 -ACID Product Family

Subject:Multi-Track Recording with Acid 3.0 Posted by: chrisgrosek Date:7/2/2001 2:31:50 PM I am looking to do some (not much) multi track recording (8 tracks), and not sure which, if any of these multi I/O interfaces will work with Acid 3.0. Any suggestions? I know places like Sam Ash sell these 8 I/O cards, like the Mark Of the Unicorn 828, but will it work with Acid 3? (to record 8 seperate tracks at once?) Also, I would love to hook up a USB fader pack controller, such as a Tascam US-428 -- WILL THAT work with Acid 3? If not...does anyone know of anything else that might do the trick?

You can only record one track at a time. If you are looking to do multi-track recording, you may want to check out our Vegas programs. Ted

I was hoping I could do everything in this one program. i like keeping things clean and simple like that.....but thankyou. maybe you guys should look into 4.0 having some multi-track capabilities, that way, geeks like myself who hate having a seperate multi-tracking program will be happy!

I see in REMIX and other magazines all these midi and USB controllers with 12 faders to control "any" software.....will it work? any suggestions?
