How do you use Acid Pro 7 as a REWIRE slave!? -ACID Product Family

Subject:How do you use Acid Pro 7 as a REWIRE slave!? Posted by: J Psycle Date:7/12/2011 12:21:07 PM Ok, some background so you can understand my frusteration: So I have long moved on to using Ableton Live 8 after being fed up with Acid Pro 6d just being an absolute pill to use as far as stability. It would crash or exhibit one bug or another almost every extended session I would ever use it. So, I just stopped, it was to deadly to my workflow, and unfortunately, instead of releasing a patched working product eventually, SONY just went ahead and released Acid Pro 7. I wanted no part of it, and plus Ableton is the bomb, extremely stable! Now to my question: I have needed to come back to the quick editing capabilities of ACID to work on large projects (mainly, the layout, mouse zoom, excellent Track EQ and Resonant Filter are what I like about ACID), so I would start up Ableton, and then start up AP6d to use as a REWIRE slave device. Problem was with AP6d, if I changed an audio loop in its properties from a loop to a one-shot (which I always do for superior audio quality), it would not redraw the waveform properly on the screen. Even when it sounded right and everything, when I stretched to entirety of the audio clip out, all the visuall waveforms would be crammed to the front and roughly the last half or so of the clip would just appear blank. So I think, just another bug. Since there are no newer updates for AP6, I need to download the Trial version of Acid Pro 7 to see if that problem is resolved in it. FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I cannot get Acid Pro 7 to work as a REWIRE slave for Ableton Live 8, it doesn't even appear to have that capability. AP6 had an entire REWIRE tab in the preferences menu dedicated to it. AP7 nothing like that. So I start Ableton Live 8. Let that finish loading. Start Acid Pro 7, let that load. No REWIRE. They act like two DAWs operating totally independent of each other and I can't figure it out. HELP PLEASE!!! Thanks, Jeremy Psycle
