ACID Music Studio 8.0 Inconsistent Loop Preview -ACID Product Family

Subject:ACID Music Studio 8.0 Inconsistent Loop Preview Posted by: DJ Hazel Date:7/22/2014 12:51:03 AM My laptop has Windows 7, so I had to buy ACID 8.0. I just got it a few weeks ago, new. I successfully loaded the sample loops onto my hard drive from the disc, then bought three loop libraries from the store: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/whiterabbitasylum http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/toyz http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/processeddrumkits A significantly large number of the loops will not preview within ACID, so I'm unable to use them. The loops that fail to load change each time I open ACID. They play properly when loaded into iTunes from Windows Explorer. I don't get any error messages when I attempt to play them in ACID. They just won't play. Since I've had this problem from the start, I have yet to use the software to make or save a song. I'm sad and would very much like to use it! I'm especially upset since I actually bought loop libraries. I've contacted online tech support. They suggested I reset the software. I had just uninstalled and reinstalled it, but did the reset anyway. It didn't change anything. Please help! ;-D

Some Wave files just didn't preview within Acid. I think the problem is with your sound card or the codec within the wave file. Have your tried changing the audio device setting within your Acid? VMP

They didn't solve the problem, but I appreciate the help! I originally downloaded the sound files to my 'download' folder and then copied them into my 'ACID Music Studio 8' folder. I discovered last night that they work when accessed from the 'download' folder (while still not working from the copy folder). They're still working tonight. Yay! I don't understand why they would all work in one folder and only some will play while in the other, but I'm happy I can access them all now. ^_^ Thanks again for your advice!
