Open Music Studio 10 files in Acid Pro 7? -ACID Product Family

Subject:Open Music Studio 10 files in Acid Pro 7? Posted by: Lip Date:1/8/2016 10:57:31 AM Is there any way to save a file in Music Studio 10 and open it in Pro 7? Studio 10 does not offer the option to render each track to a seperate file when saving like Pro 7 does. Also, opening both programs and copying and pasting does not transfer the files between the two. I have several projects in Studio 10 that I want to transfer to Pro 7 to utilize an external control surface for mixing.

Normally you can open Music Studio files in ACID Pro but since ACID Pro is stuck at version 7 and Music Studio is up to version 10, that might not work any longer. Try it and see. if it doesn't work, you have your answer... (there is no way) ~jr

It works between 2 instances of Acid Music Studio 9 for me. 1 - Open an instance of Acid Music Studio 10 with one of the files you want to save in Acid Pro 7. 2 - Open an instance of Acid Pro 7. 3 - In AMS 10, select all tracks and events (Ctrl-A). 4 - Copy the contents to the clipboard (Ctrl-C). 5 - Move to the Acid Pro 7 instance and paste everything in (Ctrl-V). 6 - Save the file in Acid Pro 7. 7 - Repeat for the remaining files.

1 - Open an instance of Acid Music Studio 10 with one of the files you want to save in Acid Pro 7.
2 - Open an instance of Acid Pro 7.
3 - In AMS 10, select all tracks and events (Ctrl-A).
4 - Copy the contents to the clipboard (Ctrl-C).
5 - Move to the Acid Pro 7 instance and paste everything in (Ctrl-V).
6 - Save the file in Acid Pro 7.
7 - Repeat for the remaining files.
