Personally i use acid just as a hobby. I enjoy kicking hot
rap beats. Someday i might burn a cd of a bunch of my own
songs and bump them on my stereo. I also like to recreate
beats from rap songs or just make my own. I also like using
mostly one shots, and making songs from scratch, i dont get
much satisfaction from just pasting melodies on to my songs.

What uses do you all have for acid?
Does anybody use it professional, for a real band?if that
possible.
And what kind of music do you make?

Like you, I also use it more as a hobby. But when you can,
burn some of your work to CD and you might find yourself
listening to it in a different way. Personally, I like
anything unusual, but try and concentrate on Industrial and
Rock. There are many professional bands that use Acid in
many different ways--you'll find some on AcidPlanet.

Just recently, I threw a few drum loops together, added a
droning synth pad and plugged my guitar and bass in and
threw together a pretty mellow, satisfying tune. I
actually play along with the tune (a simple blues-like
progression) to practice guitar soloing -- once I get to a
decent enough level, I'll probably slap a solo on there as
well. Unfortunately, I can't share the damn thing because
when I encode it as an .mp3 or .wav file it becomes awfully
distorted, but it's fun enough to have it around for my own
use.
I do wish there was a more efficient way to create your own
beats than just slapping a bunch of one-shots down, but all
in all, Acid's pretty damn cool.
