Subject:Acid 4.0 Content Posted by: knowbody Date:8/30/2002 5:17:31 AM I've decided to take the plunge and get Acid 4.0. Since I live in Japan and I need to consider the postage costs I'm trying to decide whether to get the content CD or not. Can anyone tell me if the loops have been released on other CDs, and if so, which ones? I asked Sonic Foundry and was told the content is different from Acid 2.0, the version I have. But for example, I noticed that some of the loops on the Acid DJ CD (that came with my Audigy Soundcard)are from 'On the Jazz Tip'. Thanks, Chris (Hunt)

I got the Acid 3 Content CD and got a small selection (like 4-6 loops) from each of the Loops for Acid CDs. I live in the UK so the postage was about $35. You may as well buy a full CD in a genre you will use. I didn't bother with the V4.0 Content CD...anyone who did like to comment?
Subject:RE: Acid 4.0 Content Reply by: coldc Date:8/30/2002 8:35:44 AM I have the Acid 4.0 content CD and I agree with Neil Palfreyman, there is not much point in getting it, unless you need demo songs for some reason. Just click on loop libraries at the top of this page.
Subject:RE: Acid 4.0 Content Reply by: Jessariah Date:8/30/2002 10:02:30 AM I agree, too. The content CDs seem to be more teasers to get people to buy libraries (which is understandable). But if you already own several SoFo libraries, you're just doubling up. I don't download half the 8 Packs anymore for the same reason.

I got the download version and called SoFo CS and they linked me to an FTP site for the Sound Forge. All the download stuff will save you postage, Tarriffs, and time... As for the Loops, I believe it's content from 8 packs that have been published this year. You can do just as well by starting to collect the 8 packs and downloading all of the sample loops from the other libraries on this site. There's also the 100 free Acid Fanatic (.com) loops, and another great site for free samples is: http://www.e-lab.se/ Good luck! 4.0 is a great app!
