hi there,
a couple of days ago, I wanted to create a song for freinds. I was not able to do more than 2 min long, the right limit of the song could not be moved to higher time.
I dont know why????
Thanx for your info,
jam

PS: I use AP40a under XP SP1 with a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 with beta drivers.

???

Were you just trying to add events to a project? If just trying to add more events, just slide them on over, do a copy and paste operation or just draw/paint. The project should accomodate itself as you add more content to the project.

The draw operation once the song is about 2 min does not work anymore! the mouse can not move after that limit.
Moreover, the drag of the right limit of the loop length that defines the lenght of the loop of the song, does not work too once the "2 min" limit!
i'm really confused by this problem, it seems i'm the only one who has this... damned!
Before, i only dis very small song, we could say, "songs for ads", abiut 30-45 sec, but now, i'd like to do more, but I can't!!!!
SOFO, please help!
Reagrds,
jam

PS: i'm not sure,but until I installed SP1 I have other problems... damned god, why I bought this XP upgrade OS CD?, i should have staid under win 2000.

Are you saying you can't even do a copy and paste operation with an event? (CTRL+C (once an event is selected) and CTRL+V (once you place the cursor to the rightmost edge of your project), respectively.) That would be screwy. If anything, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling ACID?

This afternoon, after rebooting my PC, the damned thing worked!
Dragging loops was functional, and all copy/paste commands too.
I don't understand, but maybe this time I can work.

Is this the full version? I believe the Acid demo limits you to two minutes.

This is the full version, bought a couple of days after it came available at SOFO website.
What I don't undertsand is why such a behaviour? It works OK now, and it seems that problems I have also with XP came to their ends. Maybe there were related.

I've had many problems disappear when I rebooted my XP system. Some of them have returned, but will disappear again if I reboot. I think it's the Gates gremlin.
