hi, can some people please give me advice on SONY ACID -

I know acid loops contain info like bpm and pitch,
my QUESTION IS...

When BPM is changed, does Acid keep the original pitch? or does it get whacked out of key like normal loops??

I would really like more than one opinion... so keep them coming please.
thanks

You choose. It's that simple, in acid you have the choice.

this is the innovation of ACID, the acidized loop

thanks guys,
I have another question,
Does the amount of change in BPM effect the result of the pitch? or will it quite simply be perfectly in key?
thanks again

It'll remain in key. If you don't speed it up too much it'll still sound perfectly natural, but if for example you double the speed, it'll sound as if some of the audio frames have been dropped (but again, there are a number of adjustments you can make that lessen the impact of that...still preserving the pitch.)

It's great alright.

You'll notice more artifacts when reducing the tempo significantly below the native tempo of the loop, rather than speeding it up dramatically. Its a lot easier to throw away existing data than to invent new audio samples which never existed in the original file. As an aside, I think most people would agree that Ableton Live uses a superior timestretching algorithim than that in Acid, and you can slow your loops down a lot more without getting weird artifacts. That doesn't really help me though, because in every other respect I prefer Acid for linear sequencing. But the short answer is, yes, Acid does what you want.

Although Acid 6 is supposed to have a new, improved algorithm. We'll see...

I didn't know you had acid.

ttoz has at some point owned (and then sold

) every music software program ever released.

Ahhhhh...i understand.

SONY ACID-Do Loops HOLD Original PITCH when BPM is changed?
