Hi,
I have Acid Music Studio 8.0. I'm teaching myself to play drums. On my domestic CD player I can hear the drum parts more clearly if I turn on the bass boost. If I record a CD track into Acid 8 am I able to add bass boost to the recording? Also can I use some graphic equalizer effect to enhance the bass boost? I might like to record, 20 seconds of drumming from a CD and would like that 20 second segment to be repeated say 6 times to last 2 minutes so I can play along and work out the drum beat.
Folks got any ideas how I can do these things?
Cheers,
Pete.

As long as the CD player in question outputs what you hear in its speakers to the line or headphone output, you should hear the bass boost. It's just a matter of connecting your CD player to your computer's audio interface recording input and ensuring that input is chosen for recording in ACID.

Insert an EQ at the track level. I believe any digital audio track has one automatically inserted into the chain but everything is set flat.

After I posted, I realised about recording the bass boost from the CD player, obvious really.
" Insert an EQ at the track level. I believe any digital audio track has one automatically inserted into the chain but everything is set flat."

I just had a quick look at Acids online help but couldn't find any reference to EQ. Could you elaborate please?

Hi again,
Found info on EQ under effects etc also found info on repeating loops.
