Using Guitar Port with Acid Pro 3.0 -ACID Product Family

Subject:Using Guitar Port with Acid Pro 3.0 Posted by: PaulJG Date:6/22/2002 7:39:39 AM We just got a guitar port and cannot get it to play in Acid 3.0. I don't believe it is a MIDI. It said to plug it into the Line-In on the computer. The program and the guitar play just fine but We cannot use it in Acid Pro 3.0. That of course was the point of the purchase. The "Guitar Port" by "Line 6" claims it is supposed to work with Acid Cakewalk etc. Just they or Acid say nothing about how to do it. Thanks for you help. PaulJG The Puzzled

From what it looks like, it does indeed use DirectX. Because I can't find a damned manual online, it looks like it outputs via either the RCA left and right jacks or the USB jack. The 1/8" input on the GuitarPort should connect to the 1/8" output on Paul's soundcard. Paul, did you make sure you have DirectX 8 installed? It's a requirement for the GuitarPort (and is allegedly included on the GuitarPort CD-ROM). Also make sure the drivers for the GuitarPort itself are installed properly. HTH, Iacobus
