So I just upgraded from music studio to record in 24-bit. On my Acer 5253 laptop, Windows 7, I set the "Conexant HD Audio/microphone" to 24bit 48khz "to be used when running in shared mode" which I guess corresponds to Audio Device Preferences in Acid. Now in Acid, I deselected Sound Mapper and selected Windows Classix Wave Driver instead, and all the Coexant stuff became the new defaults--applied.

BUT, I go to record a new track, and darn it the clip-property says it recorded 16bit. HELP! Is there something about "shared mode" I'm missing? Since the Coexant driver/card CAN do 24-bit, I'm hoping to avoid a usb-interface expense.

Did you set your project to 24 bit?

I'm not familiar with that feature....can you explain? the program is importing 24-bit tracks and preserving their bitrate though....EDIT: found it under FILE/properties--it works!

Also, I just transferred to a new computer and it only loads a few basic expressfx, none of my Sony favs like ?Multi-Band Dynamics." Lastly, how do I get a shortcut icon? THX!

Oh yes, on my new computer I can't hear my recording-track as I record...I could in the older one....
