hey all.

a long while back
i posted a problem i was having:
acid was assigning wack bpms
to loops i'd created in other software,
recorded live, or edited in soundforge.

fiddling with
the number and location of beats
wasn't helping any ...

as i've noticed lots of others
have this problem too,
i thought i'd post my solution.

open acid
and set it to the loop's bpm.

open the loop,
go to its properties (a tab at the bottom),
and set it to play as a one-hit,
then lay down a single loop.

set your loop region
to match the length of your loop,
and optimise the loop's volume.

then Save As
mixed wav file,
check the box for
Save Loop Region Only.

your newly saved loop
will run smooth and perfect
in Acid.

hopefully someone
finds this helpful.
