AfterI posted the above I find a workaround and converted the MP3s to WAV; however, midway through the project I was working on the MP3 I would drag and drop started working. Even files I would get the error for earlier.
Yes, but so far, Acid Pro is still untable when it comes to handling MP3s. In my case, no resolution or format will work that has anything to do with WMA or MP3. I got tired of converting them in Wavelab to use in Acid so I am back on another DAW. Acid is back in it's box.
@Former user - can you try download autoruns from Microsoft Sysinternals ( -us/sysinternals/downloads/), and run it. Autoruns shows all executables that run at startup, including codec support. It's possible you have installed something that is replacing MP3 support at the OS level that is not compatible with Acid Pro.
When it has run take a look at the Codecs tab, and see if there is anything listed that you may have downloaded in the past. It is possible to untick an entry, reboot and try MP3 support in acid again.
(note, there's a lot of entries in autoruns in general, don't go crazy disabling things if you don't know what they are, as that's a great way to totally break windows! :) If you're unsure you can either paste a screen shot of the codec tab, or send me a private message and I can tell you if anything looks out-of-place.
Small but mighty, this duo combines the power of glycolic acid (an AHA) and retinol ester to exfoliate and brighten the skin for a visibly smoother, more radiant-looking complexion. When used together, this duo reveals more radiant, smoother-looking skin while visibly brightening the appearance of dark spots and discoloration.
Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment: After cleansing, apply 1-2 pumps to dry skin, day or night, as a leave-on treatment. For those with sensitive skin, use Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment as a mask. Apply 1-2 pumps to clean, dry skin and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry.
Luna Sleeping Night Oil: After cleansing, apply 3-4 drops at night to dry skin. Luna Sleeping Night Oil goes from blue to clear when massaged into the skin. Follow with 1-2 pumps of Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment.
Acid Release (酸遁, Santon) is an advanced chakra nature accessed through a combination of water and fire natures. So far, it has only appeared in the Third Hikage, Sōchi Sanseiu. Techniques produced by Acid Release generally melt or corrode substances they come into contact with. Sōchi has stated that the acid produced by this release can even melt the bones of Susanoo.[1] It is a signature skill of Saiken, the Six-Tails.

Acid Pro 8, 9 and 10 were a disaster and I had removed them all some time ago from my system except for version 7. Since I simply cannot work in any other DAW as well as Acid Pro, version 7 has been working without a hitch. I was able to switch many plugins back to 32 bit. Final mixing gets done in another DAW but it helps. I just wish I had never upgraded. I could have used that money for something else.
So, for new potential users, if you still have an older version, stick to it until Magix seriously fixes Acid Pro in the next update (not sure if there even will be an update). This is a great DAW, Magix. You can still make good money off of it, at least interact with the current loyal users and tell us something to look forward to.
I couldn't disagree more. AP7 was horrendous for me, primarily because it wasn't 64bit. Constant crashes on anything but the smallest projects. It's great it is working for your projects, but it really didn't for me. The last project I worked on was 6 hours long, and would crash on opening most of the time. And in the end had to be split in to 4 separate projects and then bring together 4 separately rendered layers. It was a genuine nightmare. The First 64bit version magix released was able to open and edit a combined project without issue.
I was always more of a fan of Vegas Pro over Acid Pro where my hope after audio was pretty much done being at the forefront of Vegas Pro's development Acid would have swiftly packed all the audio feature of Vegas into it and then continue to grow within the DAW development market. Aside from the troubles which are present in Acid, it's just been a major disappointment to me that Acid never really even caught up to Vegas Pro's audio features.
It actually throws me off quite a bit since I do more audio work in Vegas Pro when I go to use Acid Pro. Things like Vegas has way more audio editing capabilities than Acid and even what should be simple things like when I right click on an audio event and select "switches" and only see "Lock and Mute" available in Acid where in Vegas you not only have Lock and mute, but Loop, Invert Phase, and Normalize. Then the additional channel switches when working with Stereo/Mono events which are in Vegas of "Both, Left only, Right only, Combine, and Swap".
I've made my decision where I'm moving to Reaper. Initially, I really didn't like Reaper's user interface but since then I've invested a lot of efforts into getting to know it's customization possibilities. I've spent a good part of the last month creating a Vegas/Acid theme in Reaper where I feel once I get done, it will be the Vegas Pro + Acid Pro I've been wishing for since AP6 and on top of that, it runs very smooth and everything just works.
The ironic thing is that by the time I'm finished customizing Reaper, it will functionally be much closer to Vegas Pro than Acid Pro. Justin Frankel the developer of Reaper was originally a Vegas Pro user, where he seemed to make sure Reaper got all the features of Vegas Pro and a whole lot more. He's recently added Video editing capabilities to Reaper. I'm anticipating it won't be long before I'm ditching Vegas as well on that front.
I'm still trying to get comfortable with Reaper's loop sequencing workflow compared to Acid's. It seems very similar but some things throw me off. I don't do loop sequencing often, so if I don't get comfortable with Reaper's method, I'll just keep Acid Pro around for that purpose and Rewire it to Reaper just to use Acid's loop sequencing. No need for me to update Acid any longer as long as it runs on the current OS I'm using.
You may be interested in following my developments of a Vegas/Acid Pro Reaper theme and customization discussion thread. Would love to hear from others more familiar with Acid to make sure I include all the good stuff. ?
Thank you, RednRoll for the recommendation. Will look into that. There are 3 things that are still un-matched and I am not sure why no other DAW has them implemented yet. Pick/Paint, Browser on the bottom and double clicking a sound which creates a track automatically. Hoping that Reaper will have similar if not same. I have never used that DAW but lets see. I still have my hopes that Acid will be continued and Magix is taking forever because maybe, just maybe it is being worked on. Thank you, kind sir.
Yes, the pick and paint is definitely on my list and is the the thing I like most when working with loops in Acid. I haven't tried working with loops much in Reaper but what I noticed when I did, was that you can click on an audio event in the track view and when you do that, it becomes your picked paint option, as if you just dipped your paint brush into a can of paint. Then when you place your mouse anywhere in an empty track view area, the mouse automatically turns into a pencil just like Acid and then you paint away. You just need to remember which can you last dipped your paint brush into...LOL!
Therefore, Reaper is actually better in this area IMHO since it's not locked into Acid's one loop per track paradigm but if you prefer that one loop per track then no reason you can't just click on one of the events in the same track and paint away later down the timeline on that same track.
I actually prefer the double click on file in explorer Acid/Vegas preference loads the file into the trimmer in Vegas or chopper in Acid but since Reaper has the trimmer/chopper built right into the explorer view it eliminates the need for that extra step and opens up the door for the behavior you like. So I'll be sure to add that, thanks for the suggestion.
BTW, Reaper has a non expiring demo mode where I believe the only limitation in demo is that it gives you a nag screen reminding you to purchase a license on launch. So you can try out my theme as I progress at no cost. A personal use license is $60 and can be installed on as many PCs as you want, to get rid of that nag screen. You're just not suppose to run more than 2 instances at a time with personal license but it's more of an honor system license system where many pay it to help fund the continuous development. Commercial license is $260 which is intended for Pro recording Studio houses where multiple installs with multiple people will be running the program. No difference in functionality in any of the demo, personal or commercial licenses.
