Subject:Acid and cakewalk Posted by: jayhawk91 Date:6/7/2000 11:41:00 PM I must admitt I've been suckered into the acid whril wind. Here I thought I had a great program to use in my existing system and help me do my music production. Instead I find that I can't use acid pro 2.0 with one of the most popular software based, digital multitracker and sequencing softwares out there(Cakewalk pro audio 9). Had I know that acid would not slave to all the other programs and equipment I have. I would have never purchased it and so 600 $'s later I have a program that I can't use. I like how very causually sonic foundry says Ohhhh and by the way it doesn't slave to anything after the sale is complete. Great!!! To me this is a tremendous oversight and a very fundamental feature how could this have been left out??? I don't know anyone who wants to willingly use a basic loop program as their master and have to click back and fourth to record music in there sequencer. What a mess!!! I am extremly bitter about this. All before know I was a huge SF advocate but this has all put a very bad taste in my mouth.
Subject:Re: Acid and cakewalk Reply by: pwppch Date:6/9/2000 9:51:00 PM What do you mean it doesn't slave to anything? It slaves to MIDI Time Code. This is all we ever advertised. ACID cannot slave to MIDI Clock for a number of technical reasons. (And before people start jumping on me, yes there is a problem with accurate triggering/start on MTC slave.) Cakewalk can't generate MTC. Cakewalk can slave to ACID either through MTC or MIDI Clock. Slaving CW to ACID's MIDI Clock is ideal because it permits CW to follow any tempo map or dynamic tempo adjustments you make with ACID.

What do you mean it doesn't slave to anything? It slaves to MIDI Time
Code. This is all we ever advertised.

ACID cannot slave to MIDI Clock for a number of technical reasons.

(And before people start jumping on me, yes there is a problem with
accurate triggering/start on MTC slave.)

Cakewalk can't generate MTC. Cakewalk can slave to ACID either
through MTC or MIDI Clock. Slaving CW to ACID's MIDI Clock is ideal
because it permits CW to follow any tempo map or dynamic tempo
adjustments you make with ACID.
