House/Dance requires filter cutoff, resonance, and flanger
effects put to loops/beats. Is there a plug-in that
includes these effects?

Digilogue has some freeware Direct X filters that work great. They
are
called Blueline Effects I think. I can't remember the website off
hand
but I know I have it somewhere. I'll post it shortly.

Bruce,

Thanks for posting that web address. Also, I really enjoy your
professional
insight on many of the things going on in the NG's. Especially on
the Cakewalk
site. I kind of just study around instead of posting because my
ambitions often
far outweigh my expertise. But allow me to say thanks now.

I agree, the noisiness of good outboard gear is always welcome in the
dance/electronica field especially. This genre thrives on
expirementation.
That's what makes it great for us as both artists and listeners. I
often add
percussion using a mic, a human hand and anything I can fit in my
project studio
(among other types of funky research).

This is the actual URL for the Digilogue plugins:
http://members.xoom.com/digilogue/english/home.htm

It seems it has changed somewhat recently.

Good luck!

Lots of them. Those are all very standard effects.

You might also want to use outboard effects and synths to create some
of
these, record and loop them, then import them into ACID. That will be
less
expensive processor wise...you need a very quick machine to run many
different layers of effects, and the kind of processing you're
talking about
would definitely stack up pretty quickly.

The good news is that flangers and resonance filters are fairly
"cheap"
effects, so you can probably run at least a few in realtime.

Those effects are certainly NOT bad for the price, and they have an
envelope
follower in that collection that works reasonably well, although not
as well
as the old Boss T-WAH, which is still patched into my system for just
such
effects.

Sometimes we make the mistake of not using our outboard gear in
ACID...it's
a great way to get some of the_actual shit_going on in your sound.
When I'm
producing this kind of music, my studio starts looking like a freak
show,
with stomp boxes, weird little speakers, old funky analog synths,
etc,
hooked up everywhere.

I've posted elswhere on this forum on how I was using
Native Instrument's Generator "soft" synth as a plug-in to
Acid. It is a modular synthesizer construction kit that
allows you to built just about any kind of synth, analog
style sequencer, sample playback synth or effect (delay,
phaser, reverb etc.) that you could imagine. It can be used
as a realtime MIDI synth or as a DirectX plugin-in. One of
my favorite uses is to put an LFO modulated resonant LP
filter on an Acid track. I suppose that you could also use
the faders in real time or through MIDI. I have a feeling
that this is the kind of thing that you might be looking
for. The drawback is that it's not cheap ($298.00 US) and
it can be somewhat proccessor intensive if you build an
instrument that is too complicated. However, something like
an LFO modulated filter isn't too bad. Check out the
website at: http://www.native-instruments.com.

BTW my favorite "soft" synth is VAZ Modular, which I find
to be much easier to use and just about as flexible.
Unfortunately it does not work as a DirectX plug-in. They
have a website at: http://www.software-
technology.com/info/softech/vazmod2/vazmod2.htm. I strongly
suggest that anyone interested in putting together a synth
based computer music system check these exciting products
out.

But I digress...

I suppose that another option might be Sonic Foundry's XFX
3 plug-in which has a Wah pedal effect that might also work
as a resonant filter of sorts.

Good luck!
