Hi, i'm in a hiphop group, and we're starting to get into
the computer production use to make beats. Is ACID a good
product? is it ideal for hiphop usage? im also into
ambient/drum and bass stuff...i want an impressive
program..this sounds great, but i'd like some feedback from
people who already have it. thanks!

Well, I'm probably a little bit partisan, but if you
haven't had a chance to use it to see what it does, you'll
want to. If you've been using a sequencer and tweaking
your samples so that they'll all match tempo/pitch, ACID
will make you smile instantly, because it does all that
automatically.

ACID works great for techno/hip/trip music or anything that
you'd want to have repeat with LFO's, etc. It also can be
used to compose almost any other kind of music, even
country. Not classical(since it doesn't loop much).

Lots of good loop libraries too!
