Subject:how to make my own loops?? Posted by: phane Date:10/19/2001 9:04:48 PM What tools do I need (software, hardware) in order to make my own loops? What do the people who make loops for ACID and on loop sites have that I do not? I'm really more interested in rap style beats. I got "RADS" (acid pack for making custom loops), not really what I'm looking for... Can I get something decently powerful for under a g? Thanks, Paul

This opens the copied audio portion in a new window. Then select edit>Select All, Then select Tools>Spectrum Analysis, Down at the bottom get the note C#1 or whatever shows up from Spec. Analysis. Then select Special>Create Sample Loop, Fill in the correct settings for your audio and at the bottom select the note you got from Spec. Anal. And SMPTE Format set to Non-Drop 30fps Audio. Then click OK. Then Select View>Loop Tuner. This you have to read about in help file But what you have to do here is line up the start and end points of your loop at the zero line so it loops smooth, (no clicks). You can check your work here to see how your doing. Then Click Acid Properties Tool, And select the correct settings for your file Example: Loop C# and number of beats. Then click OK, Then Click File>Save, Name it and Close it, then try it in Acid. Should loop perfectly. If it plays too fast raise your number of beats in propertirs dialog. I know it's alot to do but it makes perfect loops. See ya, Rockit
