General Tips about Acid Music -ACID Product Family

Subject:General Tips about Acid Music Posted by: tonyoci Date:3/3/2000 4:00:00 PM Hi there. I am new to Acid Music and generally new to making music this way. I am doing this for fun and to take my mind of my boring old day job and to make some CD's for friends etc. I have a couple of questions; I have used Acid Music with the included CD and Syntonic Generator for 3 weeks. I must say that I am starting to get a little bored with the results as I find that without some melody or exitement the tracks start to get repetetive after a while. Anyone have any thoughts that might help me. I am not a singer, so I was wondering if there are ways to buy or get vocal tracks to use ? Is there such a thing as a MIDI computer music keyboard that can be purchased. I have no interest in a keyboard for anything other than making computer music and I do not have the room for the large size keyboards you get at Radio Shack etc. I am looking for a 2-3 Octave, Midi keyboard, cheap, that need not have any great internal sound features. Any tips for livening up my tracks would be appreciated. Thanks Tony tony@redoaktech.com

I use it to create custom loops using piano, trumpet, pads - virtually everything but guitar and vocals. You can enter the notes manually (piano roll, music sheet) or in real-time (MIDI keyboard). Cakewalk is sweet. The biggest problem with Cakewalk is the price.
