What is the best/easiest to use WAV sequencing program? ACID is pretty good but I have a problem with it.. I use VST instruments to make piano rolls in FL Studio 4.5 and then I export them to WAV. This works really well for me.. and I use ACID to sequence them. The problem is that ACID wants me to set a tempo for my entire project.. and my piano rolls are often not the same tempo.. so while the drums may sound fine, the synths in the background are all slowed down to a different tempo. I guess I just want a simple program that will sequence WAV files the way ACID does but without the "feature" of making them all the same tempo. Maybe this can be done in ACID but I haven't been able to figure out how. Anyone know what program I should be using instead? Or how to make this work in ACID?

yowza-yowza you can always use the free kristal audio engine from:
www.kreatives.org
looks good (steinbergish) and I doubt audio can get any easier.
no sidechaining tho - at least that I'd know about it. if you want that and have nostalgic box with 98x/me, you can get protolsfree, in which you can magically simple create impressive templates but they can play only 4st/8mono audio at once, so you may want to do a bit of planning. I used to sequence in cubase (3.7 and 5
) and export grouped audio and then assemble it in ptfree.

Acid will stretch loops and Acidized/beatmapped soundfiles to tempo - but you can change this in the track properties at any time (in the little tab that selects loop/beatmapped/one shot). So you can always have them at the original tempo.

I thought that changed the tempo for the entire project... not just the loop.. so I can have my drum loop going at 100bpm and my synthloop going at 120bpm? I am using Acid 4.0 Pro btw.

In the track properties, 'general' tab, either change 'loop' to 'one-shot' and draw an event for each repetition, or leave it on 'loop', click the 'Stretch' tab and adjust the number of beats - both methods have their pluses and minuses but are quite flexible.
