Do you want to use ACID like a turntable in real time, or do you just want to creatively mangle samples? The former isn't all that feasible; ACID is mainly a post production tool.

Screw, you mean like DJ Screw? Two words: beat mapper (or is it beatmapper?). Uncheck the option for pitch correction to get that slow (screw) sound. Then do the same with an acapella.

Yes, screw means like the late'"DJ Screw" and "DJ Michael Watts" I want it to sound like realtime too. I have Acid Pro 4.0. I've heard a couple of Texas dj's mix cd's who use acid Pro for screw and chopping and it sounds better than turntables b/c you can add so many affects to the songs structure.
