Hi I need to know asap if I buy acid $99 version if any
music I create will be royalty free? I plan on using it in
a computer game if that affects anything.

Thanks in advance,

Matt :-)

Here's what the User Agreement says:
"You are free to use these loops in your own original
compositions without restriction. These loops may not be
resold or redistributed in any other form." (emphasis
mine)

OK, what this means is this:
You can create compositions with these loops. However, trade
them with your pals or resell them and you are dead meat.

Hope this helps:

You mean the loops themselfs correct? I thought you were allowed to sell music
that you created in ACID.

As Far as I know acid is royalty free, As for the loops that come
with the program. Good luck with your video game.
If you can let me know how to add my own sound tracks to my games
that would be cool thanks
