ok, say you have your entire song playing. in the loop explorer menu in Acid, you can just click on any wav loop, and it automatically previews it IN TIME with the rest of the project. a great way to audition loops. as I understand in audition, you need to load the loop first then stretch it. Sorry if I'm wrong! (and please let me know!)
yes, this is a nice feature. what appz have this besides acid?
live, although not as effective in beat detection.

sonar and fruity 5 do it for already acidized files only.
whoa FL5 does it too.. nice :D
fruity's actually sounds great. but it wont work if the file doesnt already have acid markers. you have to go through all your loops and acidize them.
i found some *slightly* shady tool from a few years past called "Acidizer" that does this in batch :D

so.. no biggie there, cant wait!

learned TWO big things about FLS TODAY and i thought i knew alot already ;P

Nice birrman. Thanks for the tip. I just love Audition. It replaced Sound Forge for me after I discovered it supported VST FX and had multitracking. However, I think Adobe could do one better by making it a full VST. This would offer a critical challenge to Acid Pro with it's reliance on Microsoft Frame .NET

in what way? audition doesnt preview to host tempo from the explorer. if it did that, had asio drivers, and vsti support, then it would be an acie killer. but that one important preview feature means all the world.


I was mainly drawing a comparison between Audition and Sound Forge, where in my opinion, Sony has some catching up to do if it doesn't want SF to get edged out. I wasn't aware of that particular automation feature in Acid Pro. Nice.

Is Audition still looking at that folder?

Anyone else able to verify whether or not this 'hanging' occurs with SynthEdit VSTs such as Baxxpander?

Buh-buh-buh-but... :o

I thought you had to tell ACID what original tempo, and what key a soundfile is, BEFORE it can be properly 'ACIDized'.

I'll be amazing if that "Acicizer" batch converter program can automatically do all that too!

If it can't... well... I think a lot of the files it converts, aren't gonna play correctly as "ACIDized" files.

Well its looks at that folder when I tell it too. :wink:

I'm not sure if I've got any SynthEdit vsts, but I just tried OctBUZ in it, and that managed to leave Audition hanging in the process box once I closed it.

In Audition you can mix and match loops you have gathered and preview them in time with the session tempo exactly as in Acid. But - as with Acid - you have to collect a collection of loops in the proprietary format first.

Audition will preview any .cel audio file in time with the rest of the project.

Any audio loop that you have and like in (for example) .wav format can be loaded and with a few simple clicks turned into a
.cel file. Using Audition to turn a .wav file into a .cel file is much the same as using Acid to acidise a .wav file.

If you are a regular Audition user you can build up a large collection of .cel files very quickly if this is how you choose to work. The only advantage of Acid here is that you can (for quite a price, mind you!) buy CDs full of pre-formatted Acidised loops, which you can't to my knowledge do with the .cel format.

But once again there is good news. If you purchase the boxed version of Adobe Audition it ships with the CD "Loopology" which contains some 5000 loops in the .cel format to get you started.

Holy frikkin cow, how many years have I used this software and not known that? sheesh! But as you say, it depends on how you work & I rarely use the cel stuff, need to spend some time working that way...
Thanks headquest!

No worries... if you have AA 1.5 instructions are on p.77-78 of the printed manual. If not and you need help feel free to send a PM or post here.

Enjoy!
