You don't get around much do you?

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 ?

Save as an *.acd-zip and not an *.acd, then it'll only save what's used in the track and you can empty the folder completely. (as the name suggests, it zips up the actual audio/midi tracks as opposed to saving links to them.)

Looks like the guys at Sony have finally been listening to what we've all been saying on their forums for years! This looks really exciting:

ACID may have finally become a serious DAW

Sony is soooo ready for a fight!!!

I think the marketing war between Sony (Acid Pro 6) & Ableton (Live 5) is going to get wicked!!!

So long as it involves some serious price-cutting, and some big leaps in useful features, we'll be the winners...

They could both learn a lesson from customer support at FL, however.

Hey, to get the latest scoop you got to read the NAMM show blogs man!

Here is one from the mixonline namm show blog concerning the latest scoop on ACID 6 and the bonus inclusion of a version of Native Instruments Kompakt sampler with an exclusive 2GB sound library

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.
Yep, that trick works very well inside energyXT...I think it's even suggested in the manual, come to think of it.

This is one thing I really hope they'll add to 6.0. I can't be the only person in the world who finds the QUERTY keyboard perfect for simple arpeggios, or testing a freebie VST, or cueing a pad, or other simple tasks, can I?

[My subtle reasoning is that I can screw around with QUERTY and still get other useful work done in the gaps. Whereas, when I set up a MIDI keyboard, there's the day gone...]

I read everything I could find about the new Acid and nowhere did I see mentionned further integration with other mediasoftware product (more specifically: Vegas)

Anybody with any info on this? If so please share.

i tried reading the kontakt manual & now i get everything about Kontakt

the only thing that I now regret is not having read it earlier

readings the manual works

Cabinfever · Post by **Cabinfever** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 5:20 am

@ReverseEngineer: Hmmm, I do see it in the manual, cleverly hidden under "saving & rendering a project"

I wonder though whether this will really bundle up *just* the take actually used in the song, or the 20 fluffed audio recording takes as well ? Must have a try... back later

Sony ACID 6 is coming!
