I done some searching but with no success so I hope you don't mind a noobie question - I purchased Screenblast Acid to use for video soundtracks but realize there is a lot of things I don't know...

Is there a good beginners manual (beside the Screenblast manual) that covers both the software but also some simple music theory. Kind of a Acid for Dummies?

I've done a little bit of midi sequencing in the past, but didn't really know what I was doing.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any offhand. If Muska & Lipman (part of Thomson Learning) ever ask me to do a book, I'll be sure to include such a chapter.

If you need a basic book on music theory, try checking out the book I was weaned on.

You're welcome! Be sure to take it all in slowly.

If you know some basic theory, you've got quite the head start when it comes to ACID (and just about any other music app for that matter).
