Hello all and have a good new year,

Why have you put this option of quantize in acid pro 5 ??
This is not the really option of quantize :o( if you see the real quantize option like in Protools, Acid pro 5 will be better :o)

Why the real quantization is not implemented in acid pro 5 for all tracks like wav, mp3, ogg files in the real pro audio software you have put a little of this in vegas 5 why have you not continue this and do better in ap5 ?

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my bad english

Cheers

What function are you exactly referring to in ACID Pro 5? The Groove Tool?

er....RTFM (read the f_ckin' manual)

this is exactly what i'm talking about.

why can't folks simply say "hey this is what i'm trying to do and i can't figure out how to make it work in acid. please help me. these are my specs."?

What are you getting so upset about. It's not like you're obligated to help anyone so why talk condescendingly to or about them. You should really live up to your name and "COOLOUT". Have a nice day.

coolout has always been a goal and never a description...and please spell it in all lowercase.

i'm always happy to assist folks with problems in this forum, but i noticed that with acid every now and then people just post broad, general statements instead of asking for help.

it serves little purpose to have another post that says, "acid sucks" or " acid doesn't have this or that".

i question sometimes if these people have even bought a legit copy because it's seems sometimes they haven't read the quick start guide much less the full manual.

i'm sorry, but it's starting to rub me the wrong way.

you can't RTFM if you don't even have one.

instead of proclaiming that acid doesn't have quantize (which it does) kiki92 should have explained his/her problem and asked for help with a solution.

perhaps kiki92 doesn't understand the acid GUI and what acid is does and doesn't do.

Hello all,

When i say about Quantize in Acid is about a very special thing i see in Pro Tools.

I try to explane in english because i'm french, this fonction in pro tools.

When you quantize in protools it is to put a part of a track(loop) that is not in right bpm, when you cut in the loop you quantize it and le loop have the right or good bpm with the good longuer about mesure, and it work with all track .wav .mp3 .aif etc.

In Acid quantize doesn't work like this it is another fonction but not quantize,
The option named in Acid quantize work only with .wav and perhaps i should have explained his/her problem and asked for help with a solution.

perhaps i doesn't understand the acid GUI and what acid is does and doesn't do ?

If somme people know Protools and the quantize option you see what i tell in very bad english.

Just one thing,

Im not here to tell Acid is bad or other, is not my purpose ! i here to learn and speak with people who are adult and pro :o)

Cheers

I realize that there is a language barrier here because I’m still not sure what you are talking about but we will get there. I did a google search on ‘protools quantize’ and all I could come up with is ProTools MIDI Groove Quantize, which I know is not what you are referring.

From your description of “put a part of a track(loop) that is not in right bpm” it sounds like you mean Beatmapping. ACID has a beatmapper that will map a long wave files BPM so that it fits with the rest of the project. Is this what you are referring to? It also has Groove Quantize for mapping loops to a groove.

What is the actual function called in ProTools so that we can go out on the web, read about it, and then help explain if ACID has anything like it?

Hello everybody,
It is true that there is a language barrier and especially when he(it) sagit to speak about technique.

I am going to try to rely has a translation software of text!

Under Protools the quantize option allows when we cut a buckle of 4 time(weather) to align beats on every mark of time(weather) (loop region in Acid) to be able to put that this in the good time(weather) on the length.
Used and very practical function(office) for the titles FUNK

You select your buckle and there applicant the quantize function(office) your loop will be aligned on every marker pen of time(weather) ( a perfect loop)
Similar when your loop is shorter than your measure of time(weather), the quantize option of Protools is going to lengthen(to stretch out) him(it) and to prop up her(it).

Under Acid this quantize option does not work similar? Unless I make a mistake?

I hope that I was more explicit!

Cheers

what kiki92 is talking about is chopping up an wav file in protools, moving, and snapping each region to the grid to match the tempo and follow the project.

acid does this much simpler so yes, kiki92, you are making a mistake.

if you bring an non-acidized loop into acid and the tempo isn't correctly defined...it's usually not going to line up.

if the beatmapper wizard doesn't start up automatically, you'll have to change the track type to beatmapped and run the beatmapper wizard.

then your loop will line up with the rest of your project and follow when you make tempo changes.

this is actual simpler and quicker than protools and of course is in the manual.

Yea, it sounds like the Beatmapper will do what you want. You can also apply grooves to do things like make a straight beat swing, and you can modify the beat marks in the loop properties to modify how ACID interprets the loop’s beat. There are lots of possibilities.
