The Roland 2480, MPC 4000, and Acid Music 3.0 -ACID Product Family

Subject:The Roland 2480, MPC 4000, and Acid Music 3.0 Posted by: ccottrel Date:6/9/2002 8:12:04 PM Ok, I have a song I created in ACID Music 3.0. I need to get it out of Acid and into either the Roland 2480 recorder OR an MPC 4000, 3000, or 2000. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to this stuff :) CandaceK

(Similarly, the 2480 can export WAV files too, so you can bring tracks from the 2480 into ACID as well.) HTH, Iacobus
Subject:RE: The Roland 2480, MPC 4000, and Acid Music 3.0 Reply by: ccottrel Date:6/11/2002 7:41:31 AM Thanks... is there any way to keep the acid tracks separate while keeping the sequence and time true? Basically, I want to get all of my tracks into the 2480 or the MPC so I can maneuver them, add stuff to them, etc. TIA

With ACID Pro 3.0, you can either export the tracks as loops (if a track has a tempo or key change, ACID Pro will create a separate loop just for that change) or save each track as a separate file (complete with any FX, changes, etc.). With ACID Music 3.0, I can maybe suggest soloing each track, set the Loop Region over all the events on the track and render to WAV that way. However, this will take a lot longer than if you had ACID Pro, so be sure to set aside some time. Other than that, you can render the whole project to WAV, but you obviously won't be able to work with the project as separate tracks. I always tell people to always research and compare the versions of ACID that they're considering to buy, just to make sure it meets their needs in the future. HTH, Iacobus
