Subject:Can Acid Pro handle "unusual" time signatures?
Posted by: lbstone

I've been working on a song that changes between 6/8 and
5/8 time, and I've had major trouble with it.

Because of the 5/8, everything gets thrown off. Is there a
way to make Acid understand that there *should* be a
missing eighth note?

I've looked in the help files and the faqs, but I can't
find anything about time signatures. I know you can add
tempo changes and key changes... but is there a way to
remove half a beat?

Thanks,

Brandon

I'm not sure what you mean by everything getting thrown off? Have
you made your own loops in 5/8? ACID's ruler will not display the
correct meter but your loops should line up with the whatever eighth
note beat you can describe.
