Using the Audio tab

This tab allows you to set the sample rate, bit depth, and recording folder for your project’s audio.

Item Description

Sample rate Choose a sample rate from the drop-down list or enter your own rate. The sample rate

range is 2,000 Hz to 192,000 Hz. Higher sample rates result in better quality sound, but

also mean larger audio files.

Bit depth Choose a bit depth from the drop-down list. A higher bit depth results in better

quality sound, but also means larger audio files.

Recorded files folder This box displays the path to the folder that will be used when you record new audio

or MIDI tracks. Choose <Project> to save recorded files in the same folder as your

ACID project file, or click the Browse button to choose a different folder.

The recorded files folder from the Folder tab of the Preferences dialog is used by

default unless you choose a project-specific location. If you select the Start all new

projects with these settings check box, the setting on the Folder tab of the

Preferences dialog will be updated to use the folder specified in the Project Properties

dialog.

Start all new projects with Select this check box if your project requirements do not change or you want

these settings consistent settings for future projects.

Opening existing projects

From the File menu, choose Open. The Open dialog is displayed.

Choose a drive and folder from the Look in drop-down list.

Select a file in the browse window or type a name in the File name box. Detailed information about the selected file appears at

the bottom of the dialog box.

Choose a file type from the Files of type drop-down list to limit the files displayed in the dialog box.

Click Open.

Note:

If one of the media files cannot be located when you open an ACID project, you can choose to leave the media offline and

continue to edit events on the track. The events point to the location of the source media file. If you restore the source media file at a

later time, the project opens normally.

Opening ACID projects with embedded media

When you open an .acd-zip project, the project file and all media files are copied to the temporary files folder.

Any changes you make to the project are saved to the files in this temporary folder until you save the .acd-zip file again. For more

information, see Saving a project on page 35.
