Add Multiple Files from Explorer on one track -ACID Product Family

Subject:Add Multiple Files from Explorer on one track Posted by: AboveThoughts Date:2/14/2014 7:17:25 AM Hi - Running Acid Pro 7 and Win8 I read in the hep file ... if you hold the ctrl key down, you can add Multiple files selected in explorer to the project. This for some reason does not seem to work for me. Is there some checkbox in preferences I am missing or has anyone else had this problem or solved it ?

The only way I could get the multi-file drag and drop to work was to delete all of the track headers so that none were showing. Then while holding the Ctrl key down and then one-by-one selecting files (in my case I selected 3 files and all 3 were highlighted) and then I was able to drag them all onto the screen and each one got its own audio track. Only the 1st one's waveform was completely visible. On the 2nd and 3rd, I had to pull the waveforms out from the left edge all the way to the end of the waveform using the Draw tool (the Selection tool also worked). So, it works in Music Studio, should work in Pro, too.

I was able to follow your instructions and yes, by using the pencil tool i was able to draw the waveform on each track. Part2: However, have you had any luck putting multiple items on a single track?

Hi -

Running Acid Pro 7 and Win8

I read in the hep file ... if you hold the ctrl key down, you can add Multiple files selected in explorer to the project. This for some reason does not seem to work for me. Is there some checkbox in preferences I am missing or has anyone else had this problem or solved it ?
