Subject:Learning how to do Acid Posted by: dr_zeemo Date:4/19/2000 12:58:00 AM Hi folks, I am new to these here parts, so bear with me. I am interested in buying Acid .... but I have no clue which one to get... I know that I would like to be able to do multitrack recording. I also know that I like acid, for it's ability to create drum tracks, and various bass parts, and be able to fit them into a situation. I am also interested in buying a cakewalk product... So what should i do?? Will Acid provide me with the same ability to multitrack record as cakewalk??? Will I be able to record audio into Acid, not using aq "loop" format? Vocals? guitar parts? Can I synch Acid to Midi? Can It be a slave to Midi?? for example, I own a 8 track minidisc machine, and according to the manual it can only transmit midi time, it cannot recieve. therefore, the minidisc machine, would have to be the "master" in the midi chain. Can Acid accomodate this??? These are mysteries to me... any inputis appreciated. If your interested, the type of music that I produce,?? Got to http://www.mp3.com/RickZandtheElasticBa perhaps that will at least clearify my intentions, as to what I am shooting for... Thanx, Rick Z

Hi folks,
I am new to these here parts, so bear with me. I am
interested in buying Acid .... but I have no clue which one

multitrack recording. I also know that I like acid, for it's

be able to fit them into a situation. I am also interested
in buying a cakewalk product... So what should i do?? Will
Acid provide me with the same ability to multitrack record
as cakewalk??? Will I be able to record audio into Acid, not
using aq "loop" format? Vocals? guitar parts? Can I synch
Acid to Midi? Can It be a slave to Midi?? for example, I own

can only transmit midi time, it cannot recieve. therefore,
the minidisc machine, would have to be the "master" in the
