This can be caused by your snap settings either being too short (like 64ths or 128ths) or disabled entirely in the new program, or migrating the song with snap settings from the previous program might have caused issues by way of a bug.
If that's the issue, then you'll literally have to go through and line up all your clips to the proper positions.
If it's not, let me know.

I used the "copy" function on a track and then pasted it, which creates a duplicate track, so they should be exactly the same, starting right at the start of the tracks. Then in the second track (the duplicate), I cut out some parts, but moved no clips around.

I'll look at snap settings, though, because there are other tracks where I pasted in small clips. However, when I pasted those clips I visually expanded the track as far as it can expand so that the clip appears to match up with one it is duplicating in an adjoining track. I'll doublecheck some more of the clips to see if they match visually when I expand the tracks as much as I can.

Ugh! This will be hell if I have to go through each tiny clip to make sure they line up! Ah, well, such is life. Maybe I'll try opening up the same song in my newer Acid Pro 7.0 program and listen to it again...maybe the tracks will line up there! (Perhaps I'll start praying to the Audio Gods, too, and end my heathen atheist ways.)

As far as performance issues, make sure you're meeting the suggested system requirements for the software. If you're only meeting the minimum system requirements, you're going to have issues all the time.

I made sure to surpass the minimum system requirements (I thought), adding 2 matching Kingston 1 GB 400 MHz modules so right now the computer has 2.5 GB of RAM. That *should* be enough. Maybe I should get some more RAM, just to be sure, and just max the computer out.

By the way, the recording thread is getting re-done. I'm just going to provide links to resources and answer questions instead of going overboard with info.

Thanks for your help today and also for your recording thread. I'm sure however you structure it, it will be helpful to people. *I* of course don't mind if you go overboard with info! Feel free to write a Veganelicaesque book!
