One-Shot
Choose
One-Shot
if you want ACID to treat your file as a one-
shot.
One-shots are RAM-based audio clips that do not change tempo
or pitch with an ACID project and are not designed to loop.
Sounds such as cymbal crashes and sound bites could be
considered one-shots. Longer files can be treated as one-shots if
your computer has sufficient memory.
Loop
Choose
Loop
and specify a Number of beats and Root note for
transposing if you want ACID to treat your file as a loop.
Loops are small audio clips that are designed to create a
repeating beat or pattern. Loops are usually one to four
measures long and are stored completely in RAM for playback.
Loop files change tempo and can pitch shift with an ACID
project.

Root note for transposing
Click the down arrow ( ) and
choose a note from the drop-down list to set the base note
for tracks that you want to conform to the project key.
If you do not want a track transposed to the project key (a
track that contains a drum sample, for example) choose
Don’t transpose
.
•
Number of beats
Double-click to edit the length of the file.
Selecting a value that does not match the actual file will
cause ACID to play the loop at a different speed than normal.
For example, specifying a length of 8 beats for a 4-beat loop
will cause the loop to play at half speed at any given tempo.
ACID Beatmapped Choose ACID Beatmapped if you want to add key and tempo
information to a long audio file. By default, ACID will start the
Beatmapper Wizard for files longer than 30 seconds.
