I am almost at my wits end. I have a full latest version fo Acid Pro 11 and need to sync my external drum machines or synths to a track I arleady recorded. Sometimes this works but usually it's a nightmare. Today I spent over two hours on two different computers and three interfaces to no avail.
I know I need to enable real time midi - no problem I can do that and the icon on the tool bar shows it's engaged. I can toggle it on and off.
HOWEVER, all today I can't do any other sync features. I know in the past I could generate midi clock or generate Midi time code. I have these set up on the toolbar but when I click on them they do not highlight or enable. I tried F7 and Shift+F7 and also from the time code menu and there is no response. No highlight and nothing generated.
I am trying from previously working acid projects and from scratch. inserting new midi tracks, etc.
Is there some special order I need to do this in? I seem to recall the few times it worked the icons in the toolbar did highight so not sure what is up.
As other data I'm trying to sync a Behinger TD3 which shows up in midi devices when I plug it in via USB. I am positive I have it set to the proper sync input and midi channel. I tried a roland midi interface (which also shows up in Acid as valid midi port) and used a midi cable (again switching midi input on the TD3) and have had this same issue , no way to engage time clock or midi sync. I've tried different USB and mdii cables which work elsewhere as well.
Same issue with other devices like my roland TR8s. Running Windows 10 with all updates. I've rebooted both PCs and plugged and unplugged things and restarted the software mutliple times.
It seems the midi devices and synths/drum machines are being recoginized. The issue is in Acid Pro 11 not letting me engage Midi Timecode or Clock and I'm not sure what else needs to be set right (if anything) .
Has anyone else had this problem? it's like hit or miss if i ever get to actually record something and it's criplling the little time I have to be creative.
Thanks for Any/All help!
