wturner Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 QUESTION.... I'm looking for a good software package that: 1)Records and edits loops that I load from sample cd's 2)Has a good selection of loops(library) 3)Is fairly simple to learn 4)Will allow me to import these files into my studio pc 5)Has good tech support I'm thinking about either ACID,Cakewalk's Fruity Loops,or Recycle...Any tips??????? willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coren Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 i use all three fruity loops is the easiest, but youll have more power with recycle/rebirth/reason or cakewalk itself actually i found the best way to work with loops and samples is to use an audio program like pro tools or Cool edit pro, just load the wav, put it where you want, just like LEGO!!

wturner Posted November 29, 2001 Author Share Posted November 29, 2001 I use Cakewalk to record.I tried loading samples into Cakewalk but the problem I ran into was, whenever I tried to change the pitch or tempo it threw all of my midi tracks off sequence.Is there a way that I can load a wave file from a sample cd that would make it easier to change pitch or tempo and keep my midi files in sync?

RABid Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 If you use Acid loops, or if you "acidtize" wave files then tempo changes will audomatically adjust the loops. Sonar supports Acid files but earlier versions of Cakewalk does not. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wturner Posted November 30, 2001 Author Share Posted November 30, 2001 Rabid Right now I'm using Cakewalk 8.01.I've been thinking about upgrading to Sonar but didn't know about the differences.If I upgrade to Sonar,and use Acid to create my loops,how do I import my song from acid into Cakewalk?I have Acid 2.0 but never really worked with it much because I had a problem getting samples to sync correctly.If I used Acid samples everything worked fine.But when I tried to load a sample from a sample cd that I liked,I couldn't get it to work correctly.Does Acid 3.0 correct this or did I do something wrong? williw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
