Hi everyone. I'm from Argentina. Can anyone tell me how do I get a copy of the acid samples cds that you promote on this site? A reseller in Argentina? Thanks.

I’m not sure that you can get the sample loop CD without buying the program (it comes free when you buy any version of ACID). The good news is that you can still get ACID Music 3.0 from ClickCoolDeals.com for only $12.95 USD. That’s where I bough my copy from before I bought ACID Pro 4.0.

If you want to put a collection together yourself, just go to the Sony Loop for ACID site and click on each of the CD’s and download the samples they give you. This is pretty much what’s on the sample CD that you get when you buy the program. I would start with browsing by category (there’s no sense downloading hip/hop house beats if you’re planning to make orchestral music)

Then each week, don’t forget download the weekly 8-Pack from AcidPlanet.com. This should give you enough loops to give you an idea of what to buy because buying a collection that fits together is a lot better than just a sample of loops from here and there. Finally, once you buy ACID there is a GetMedia button that will bring you new free media to sample each month.

Hope this helps,

Try this page as a starting point:

Or you can contact Sony Media and ask for help.

Oh, I guess I assumed that by “acid samples cds” he meant the examples that ship with the program (i.e., "free samples") but since the loops themselves are actually “samples” (i.e., sampling of sound) so the word sample has a double meaning here. If you really mean the ACID Loop CD’s then DKeenum has correctly pointed you to the International Resellers page. (sorry for the confusion)
