Subject:different bmp-bad sound Posted by: michi Date:10/24/2001 3:38:40 AM Hello everybody!I'm a new acid-user from Italy with a problem: using loops with a bpm slightly different from project (98 instead of 96 f.e.),causes trembling sound in loop like basses,sax,etc. Stretching the loop causes interrupted sound anyway,so I don' know what to do. Even with loops made by myself,generated from keyboards,at the same bpm,changes with the cutting of it! So,any tip? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english. Michele,Trieste,Italy.

However, you might get better results doing everything as "one shots" as opposed to "disk based". This improved things alot for me but requires more system memory... My opinion of Acid is that it's a mixed bag. They offer astounding features, many of which function marginally. It's still an incredibly useful tool though, you just have to understand that anything beyond recording/playing back at a set tempo and is probably best used for preview purposes.
