so..i'm trying to use acid as the master, generating midi clock through the sonicfoundry midi router. i have it piped into reason. no matter what settings i try (toggled all of the advanced ones too) the two proggys don't stay in sync. reason will start and stop when acid tells it to but the tempo begins to drift after a few bars. it drifts more and more quickly when my acid song reaches more complicated sections with lots of crossfades. any way around this? anything i should try to test? i don't have any external sequencers to test sync with unfortunately to see if it's a problem with the clock being generated or if something else is amiss.. |

specimen, I'm syncing Acid to VST/32 from another PC. If I used MTC to drive Acid, it choked, spitted, sputtered all day long, making it more of a headache than anything. I'm now using a EgoSys WamiRack24 on my Acid PC and using the SMPTE input to lock. I send an audio signal of SMPTE out my MOTU2408 into the WamiRack SMPTE input. I slave Acid 2.0 to this source. Believe it or not, Acid locks MUCH, MUCH better to this source, than to MTC. Perhaps the time it takes to convert the SMPTE to MTC gives Acid a "breath" before syncing and allows it to actually work. Sync and Acid are certainly problematic. I just posted a new topic complaining/asking why SF doesn't integrate current sync functions into Acid. Guess maybe it's just not possible. I expect someone to develop an "Acid" VSTi soon that will allow sample accurate sync, inside Cubase. I'll be first in line when that happens. Hope this somehow gives you some ideaz.... dp (dongle protected) |
