Sony ACID 6 is coming!

[Penis Arcade]

I do wish everyone would list they're country, so we know whether we're dealing with the language barrier.

Some of us will be better served by avoiding listing theirs.

[John Vulich]

Well Vulich i don´t like you either... no offence, it´s what it is.

Don't worry, I still love you

Thanks arke but I was actually being sarcistic with the crying smiley. Quite frankly I could really give a toss about what stag thinks.

Oh holy hell. You know, I make that mistake, like, once a year. Oh well, that's what I get for opening my mouth. At least I spelled "Lobotnomonmny" correctly.

Still, I think with an international community like this, it would be really helpful to know if someone is struggling with a language.

Well, son, that really shows up all over this thread...

Ok , perhaps I should have said that I don't care what you think of me.

Better now?

[AL GEE]

Will ACID 6 have midi pattern sequencing?like PRO 5 ?something like the send to track function?

When you say "funnay", that sounds like how a gay will say "funny". I suggest you say "funny" instead of "funnay", as "funnay" makes you sound gay.

If you aren't already that is

you are too funnay

when you say anything at all, that sounds like how a lomotomized person would say that. I suggest you say it different, as this way it makes you sound lobotomized.

If you aren't already, that is. whihc I'm certain you are? kthxbai!1

lotobotomy is not what you think it is, you prick. I suggest you consult an English dictionary & look it up again. I think you are replacing the intended word "retarded" with "lobotomy", which does not work.

you are too funnay

lo·bot·o·my (l-bt-m, l-)
n. pl. lo·bot·o·mies
Surgical incision into the frontal lobe of the brain to sever one or more nerve tracts, a technique formerly used to treat certain mental disorders but now rarely performed.

lo·bot·o·mize (l-bt-mz, l-)
tr.v. lo·bot·o·mized, lo·bot·o·miz·ing, lo·bot·o·miz·es
To perform a lobotomy on (a patient).

Don't doubt my f**king english skills, bitch

Great job, arke, you took that from the Merriam Webster online definition of "lobotomy".

Now I am wondering, why would you use "lobotomy"?? If someone is "lobotomized", then it just means that their personality will undergo great changes (look here for more information on lobotomies).

as this way it makes you sound lobotomized

As this way makes me sound like I have changed personality?? That's not a diss at all, just shows that you do not know what lobotomy is and that you are trying to be arrogant by using a "complicated" word, instead of just saying "retarded", which I think is your goal.

Why don't you stick to simple words now that you've shown you can't master the big ones, eh Arke??

If you wanna stabilise (more ) version 5, don't use the media manager, uninstall it completely and uninstall the mysql database that goes along with it (that's what i do e very reinstall......no, the reinstalls aren't acid related, i'm talking about after a format.) It boots up in seconds and doesn't do any mental freezing/crashing unless it gets a bad plug stuck in its teeth.

Several folks have said this over the past couple of months in various threads here. And, looking at my long boot-up times, I'm sure they're on to something.

Um, how would one go about removing the media manager -- for which I have never found one single use! -- and the mysql database (obviously a big kludgy thing in its own right
)?

'on an efficiency kick'

Dunno if anyone has answered this yet, but here's the most efficient (and cleanest) way of doing it.

1) Start Acid, go to options/preferences/general, look down the list and untick enable media manager. Close acid.

2) Open add/remove in control panel, uninstall media manger 2.0 first, THEN uninstall the mysql database (if you have more than one mysql... related to other apps, don't worry, there's a mention of sony somewhere in the add/remove entry for then one you want to remove.)

3) Reboot your computer (just a precautionary measure.) Then restart acid....voila.

Another Acid tip is this : If you have any plugins listed that you no longer have installed (legacy entries left over) or some plugs don't seem to be getting detected but are installed properly then do this, it'll force a complete rescan of installed plugins which will remove any bad entries and add the ones that couldn't be detected before.

With Acid closed, open the run box on the start menu, type regedit, and navigate to this key -

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sony Media Software\ACID Pro\5.0\Metrics\VSTi Synth

You'll see a "folder" called plugs. Right click on it and delete it. Restart Acid, let it rescan all your plugs (it may seem like it has stalled, but it hasn't, be patient.) Hopefully that will solve any plugin detection problems (if not, the WORST you have done is force a rescan, nothing more than that..the only data contained in the "folder" you deleted is plugin ID's which are recreated the moment you restart Acid.)

you can't remove it but you can stop it from loading when acid launches. it's on the main preferences panel, near the bottom. (i forget the exact wording.)

that should speed up your launch times.

See above.

This is a big improvement, other than the real audio input interface...They may get me back too. If they kill the bugs first.

All MIDI
note and controller data can be recorded and edited directly in the timeline
for maximum productivity.

Oh, totally excellent! Well, I did #1, and it helped quite a bit. Then, I was contemplating #2 as a follow-up. Thanks for confirming that's a good idea. Once media manager is disabled, it's just more clutter, after all. {Paranoid me: I was always suspicious it was sending Sony notes about "he bought this collection on eBay cheap..."}

The real eye-opener was your #3 et seq....I wasted a couple of days asking the Sony people how to have the VST folder update itself. Because, as you guessed, like any proper KvR loony, I'm forever adding new ones, removing old ones, etc., and the damned thing was quite erroneous. Their answer, BTW, was essentially to reinstall. Uh, I'm not that daft...

Your answer here is intuitively right, gonna do it in the AM when I'm more attentive to detail.

Thanks a bunch!

ps: you don't know how to get ACID to recognize a QUERTY keyboard as a MIDI input device, by any chance? I think this one may be ultra vires...

That i have no idea about.

[Cabinfever]

One of the other things that really bothered me about Acid was "left over" audio recordings.

Let's say you define the folder where you want your recorded audio to go. You then start recording. Of course there will be be stuffed up takes, perhaps some intro "overmatter" when doing a punch-in style take.

Eventually you finish the song.

But what you now have leftover is masses of audio takes, all with numerical names (recording take 1, 2, 3 etc), and no way to identify whether they are part of the finished song, or just mistakes.

So when you hit "save all media with song" you get all the crap too.

I believe Live has a function where it just gathers material that is actually used.

Does AcidPro-6 solve this problem I wonder ?

On SX3 i disable Key commands and i use Axxeom Trollo´
i don´t know if on Acid we can route a VSTi as an input
on a MIDI track.

the more i read about AP6 the more i wanna try it out.
