Acid Pro 11 - storing loops on drives other than C

guitacid wrote on 6/14/2022, 7:45 PM

I cannot find how to email support direct so asking the question here.

My C drive is filling up. I want to transfer all Acid loops to another drive.

But.

Will Acid Pro recognise that the loop location has changed? Can Acid be told to go look for loops on F drive for example?

Thanks

@guitacid There was a similar topic some time ago https://www.magix.info/us/forum/running-out-of-space-on-c--1293649/#ca1752898

I think that should solve your problem without changing settings inside ACID.

Thanks SP. I'll try that.

Hi SP, do you think this change would survive if someone upgraded to Acid Pro 11? Or would it have to be done again?

@guitacid If you link the folder C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common to another hard drive it should be enough to it once because every Magix program will use this folder as its standard folder for Soundpools.

But at the moment I would suggest there is no need to upgrade to ACID Pro 11 because it's nearly the same program as ACID Pro 10, with exactly the same bugs and instabilities. Basically only the bundled plugins are new. I would wait for bugfixes. See also the other topics about this release in this forum.

Thanks. I tried that command prompt change and it didn't seem to work for me. No mind though because I really should install a new bigger SSD in my PC. I'm looking to buy my first midi keyboard controller and soft synths. Arturia are high on the shopping list because they bundle their soft synths with the controller.

WELCOME to the world of AP10-11. If you had read any of the posts on this forum or any reviews of AP8 - 11 you should have never purchased this DAW. NOW that you have, please be patient and wait for the update patch. Cheers

Been using Acid for twenty years. Sure it's not as well regarded as some but it's cool for sketching out songs and arrangements.
