Hey everyone.... i've been using Acid Pro since 2002...as a matter of fact i'm still using ACID PRO 4(updated with the latest version) and i haven't had an issue until this past week....

i just mainly "paint" tracks to the grid to create beats and with this one song im working on I am getting dropouts at the beginning of some "painted" samples even though they appear to be aligned perfectly to the grid! Of course, this makes the entire song sound horribe, b/c that temporary hiccup throws everything off...its like there's a slight pause or dropout before the rest of the sample kicks in.. I have tried going into clip properties and changing it to one-shot and loop, but i am still not getting results.

can anyone help? thanks in advance

Does this happen with any project or just this one project?

Could be any number of things: Number of tracks and age of system. (If the system hasn't been formatted in awhile, that also could be an issue.) Drivers (audio or video) gone rogue. ACID or the project itself becoming corrupted.

Thanks for the response mD.... actually, its just happening with this sound sample library i bought recently.... the library also contains matching midi files and when i use or "paint" those instead, it doesn't happen, so that's my quick fix for now i guess....thanks again!

could it be the volume envelope setting in the preferences?

Maybe it's a file optimization issue? Was the drive the samples rest on defragmented recently? (Unless it's a solid state drive; in that case, there's no need to defragment.)

What sample library is causing this?

What synth are you using the MIDI files with?

..md..sonyPCH... thanks for the responses..... the samples are working normally now..

i rebooted my system and the samples aren't clicking or "dropping out" now... i guess Acid got corrupted somehow someway.... i didn't think about rebooting b/c i normally keep my system on and this hasn't happen before.. i also sometimes dont close out the last app i was working with...i guess i need to "shut down" more often....

my stupidity.. sorry guys, but thanks so much for your replies!
peace,
duda
