Creating loops for ACID software
The Sound Forge application is an excellent tool for creating and editing loops to be imported into any of the ACID family of products.
You can create three different types of files for ACID use:
• One-shot file
• Loop file
• ACID 3.0 or later beatmapped file
Creating an ACID one-shot file
One-shots are files that do not stretch with tempo or change pitch to match the key of the ACID project. This behavior makes one-shots
particularly suited for audio such as cymbal crashes, sound effects, and short vocal lines.
1.
Open the Voiceover.pca file.
2.
Create a selection containing the “Wow” and drag it to the workspace. A new data window is created containing the “Wow” audio
data.
3.
From the View menu, choose Metadata , and then choose ACID Properties from the submenu. The ACID Properties window
appears.
4.
Select One-Shot from the ACID type drop-down list.
5.
From the File menu, choose Save As and save the file with a descriptive name.
Creating an ACID loop file
Loops are musical building blocks and are by far the most common type of file used in ACID software. Loops stretch with an ACID
project’s tempo and can be configured to change pitch.
1.
Open the Voiceover.pca file.
2.
Create a selection containing the “And easier” and drag it to the workspace. A new data window is created containing the “And
easier” audio data.
3.
From the View menu, choose Metadata , and then choose ACID Properties from the submenu. The ACID Properties window
appears.
4.
Select Loop from the ACID type drop-down list. The Time signature , Root note for transposing , and Number of beats boxes are
added to the ACID Properties window.
5.
Choose one of the following options for the Root note for transposing box:
If Then
The loop should be transposed when inserted in an Choose it’s root note from the Root note for
ACID project transposing drop-down list.
The loop should not be transposed in an ACID project Choose Don’t transpose from the drop-down list.
6.
Specify the length of the loop in beats in the Number of beats box. The default value is 4.
7.
From the File menu, choose Save As and save the file with a descriptive name.
