Hi Adam:

I would make sure that you have "acidized" the loop that
you have created prior to mixing to a new track. Here are
some instructions on how to do this.Once you have painted
an audio sample into Acid you would highlight the audio
sample by selecting it with your cursor. You would then
hit the properties tab in the bottom right hand corner of
Acid. Now you should now be looking at the loop's
waveform. If you have a file that you would like to play
only once you would select for the track type option one
shot. You could also designate the root note for
transposing in this same area. The root note for
transposing would be the actual key that the one shot is
in. You would want to set this so if later when you are
using the loop in a project and you wanted to apply a key
change it would play the one shot at the proper key. This
would also be pertinent to all of the other possible track
types. If you had a audio sample that you wanted to play
looped for the track type you would choose loop. You would
also want to include the number of beats that are in the
loop. If you have files that a recorded into Acid they
will generally show up in projects as disk based tracks.
If you wanted to have a disk based track play back in sync
with all of the other loops that you are using in your
project you would follow the aforementioned steps. You
would for track type choose Disk-Based but you would also
want to include the tempo of the disk based track. This
step will insure that the track is played back properly.
Now for the information that you have entered to stay
intact with the file you would have to hit the little
button that looks like a 3.5 inch floppy on the properties
tab. THE CHANGES THAT YOU HAVE MADE WILL ONLY STAY IF YOU
USE THIS BUTTON TO SAVE.
