its great really because i can explore the net to learn about wide varietys of different sounds and styles. acid will import mp3's so i do it all the time. The trap i fall into with acid is that ,with the amount of file sharing software out there, its easy to have a million mp3's on hand to sample from. Not trying to advertise but check out I made all those beats with acid. that will give you some room when in the mix later in the process. Just watch where your signal is on the master fader display, and stay around -6db to -4db. It also seems to be easy to come out with a quiet track. The program will run on a lower class of computers as well so its perfect for makin up the loops and doing the aranging, mixing and tracking of vocals/additional instruments at another location(which someone already mentioned, and is what i do.) which is a neccissary and tedious thing to do in pro tools. When slicing samples it will put a fade on the lead and trail edge of samples. it pops up on the screen where you can choose not to use it if you dont want, so its easy to decline if you just want a one shot. The beat mapper feature works well and if set can pop up each time you import a sample. you can have the original song in a window below so you can quickly chop out segments from that window and drop em into the edit window. sometimes i end up sliding a note or two late on the sixteenth, without the grid, to give it some swing.īut for editing loops its wicked. the grid works pretty well for drum note placement. Recently ive put acid on my home computer which has an Mbox and is ok. some of the editing is more tedious in pro toos as well as the file browsing.

I usually use pro tools for everything from top to bottom.
