Subject:3/4 measure

Is it possible to make a song that has a 3/4 measure
instead of a 4/4 ? I tried everything, but cutting the loop
to three counts doesn't help. The measures within the count
is still 4/4.

Hello.

No, this is not currently possible.

Thanks.

If you record a 3/4, 6/8, or 12/8 phrase, ACID will handle it with no
problems. There are also some drum loops available in 6/8 and 12/8
time (our own Drum Tools for example). Just chopping one beat of a
4/4 phrase probably isn't going to get you the feel you're looking
for as the musician who created was playing with 4/4 in mind.
Regardless, ACID will handle 3/4, 6/8, 12/8 time signatures with no
problems. In about a week, take a look on ACIDplanet.com for a tune
by m. concret. It's in 12/8 and composed entirely in ACID.
