Does Acid allow you to take loops, put them together, edit individual hits, and then export the entire file as a loop. Would I then beable to import it into sonar???? Thanks |

Yes. What you would do is open the loop in the Chopper. This will allow you to select individual slices and insert them back into the track in any order you want as may times as you want. Once they are sliced on the track, you can pitch shift individual slices, reverse them etc. When you have something you like, just render it to a new loop and you can import that loop back into ACID or SONAR. ~jr |

But if you want to do the same thing in about one tenth of the time then try Devine machine or Phatmatic Pro. |

In addition to what JohnnyRoy mentioned, you can also creatively mangle loops by using the other various functions of ACID, such as copying and pasting events, and splitting and joining events. When creating loops in ACID, be sure to use the "render to new track" command (CTRL+M on your keyboard). This will properly ACIDize the re-edited loop. Simply rendering out (using the File>Render As command) does not ACIDize. Isolate the track by soloing the track and place the Loop Region over just the area you'd like to keep. Be sure to also use the "render loop region only" option under the "render to new track" command. ACID Pro 5 will also act as a ReWire device, so you can use ACID Pro 5 within SONAR without having to render and export.

I've been using ACID since 1.0 (1999) and I did not realize the "Render to New Track" of a soloed Loop Region, would automatically create an ACIDized loop, from a re-edited loop. |

You're welcome! :) I forgot to mention that when you ACIDize using this method, the newly rendered track takes on the project's tempo and key (if applicable). When rendering (or bouncing) percussion tracks down, it'd be best if the project's key is set to "None" since percussion tracks usually have no definite pitch. (You can set it back once the tracks are bounced.) Also, before bouncing down, mix the soloed track or tracks as close to unity (0.0 dB) as possible. Then mix the newly rendered track back in with the rest of the project. (Note also that the newly rendered track will also have a track-level volume cut automatically applied based upon the Preview volume slider setting in the Mixer. If the track sounds quiet, it's only because of the cut.) Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid Pre-order Instant ACID Guitars 4 Kids |

If you want acid to include "stretch markers with the file you have to select file ,export loops... render to new track doesn't write stretch markers,, I use the cyclone dxi with Project 5 and this is what I have to do so cyclone sees the markers..... for importing into sonar the file doesn't have to be acidized ,, sonar has a few ways of "groove clipping" a file,,, meaning your file will follow project tempo and key.. |
