Subject:Creating "Acidized" loops Posted by: Jessariah Date:5/7/2002 12:39:31 PM Hey All, First of all, what exactly is an "acidized loop?" I notice that some loops speed up/slow down with pitch adjustment, like normal sampling does -- but some loops maintain the same tempo when the pitch is adjusted. Is that what "acidizing" does? Also, how does one create an acidized loop? Do you do it in beatmapper, or can you do it in other apps (like SF or Vegas)? Thanks for the info. KH
Subject:RE: Creating Reply by: Iacobus Date:5/7/2002 1:02:38 PM ACIDizing a loop involves adding an extra chunk of data to the loop so that it stretches properly at a given tempo or key in ACID. Loops that are ACIDized can still be used in other audio applications. The extra data will simply be ignored by the app in question. You can create ACIDized loops right in ACID itself. Click here for more info. You can also create ACIDized loops in Sound Forge. However, the method is a lot more complicated due to the amount of flexibility when creating the ACIDized loop. Basically, you'll want to use Special>Edit Tempo to define the tempo for the loop and use that data to determine the number of beats under Special>Edit ACID Properties. (You can also use the Spectrum Analysis tool to determine the main key of the loop.) HTH, Iacobus
