Subject:Importing MP3's into Acid Posted by: Golfer2b Date:10/14/2003 8:13:27 PM This might sound like a dumb question, but is it possible to import and play MP3's and WAV files into Acid. When I tried, I was able to preview them, but not play them in the actual project bar. I tried the beatmapping and I tried without beatmapping. I tried the one shot and the loop. Nothing seems to work. This is so that I can rap over an instrumental I have, If there are any other suggestions on if I should try another program please tell me. Thanks Greg

(after you double click or select it in the explorer window). HopeThisHelps. John

Subject:RE: Importing MP3's into Acid Reply by: Iacobus Date:10/15/2003 2:11:15 PM When you add your WAV or MP3 to the project as a track, you have to draw in what's called an "event". This is simply an instance of audio of the file that plays back. It can be short, long, or anything in between. It's basically up to the user at that point. To draw in a file in its entirety, click the Paint Tool, then while holding down CTRL on your keyboard, click where you want the event to begin on the track's timeline.
