hi all... anyone use acid?

im using acid and im not an expert of it...

for pc is it the best program to use? can i make beats with it?

im making a mixtape and all i can do is control the volume, anyone know how i can control the EQ? i tried to look at the EQ and i dunno how to control the bass...

i am a dj but not a computer expert :blink:


someone plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get the books out man.
I dont think u can make beats with it, so I would leave Acid, and start with FL.
Are u trying to reduce the bass with the EQ?

Give some more specific questions.

Yea you can make beats with acid ppl sleep on it alot.

This should be in the Producer Talk section. I would move it but its not my section.

NO!!!!!!

dont get him started with FL, cause its hard to leave FL once you learn on it

trust me, you can make beats on acid, ive been making beats and i only use acid. and i didnt mean to thank you


heres some screenshots to help you out



those control the eq, click the one on the track you want to control the eq of



click and drag the numbers to eq in the equalizer. i usually use #1 for the low end (kinda obvious though). you can move it to any frequency, then alter the gain too

Lol I thanked u back.
I didn't know that u could make beats with Acid, seriously.
I knew people use it for makin mash ups, remixes n shit, but not for beats.
If not on FL, then he could start with Cubase, Sonar, Reason blah blah.

^if he's jus gettin started i'd say reason before i would cubase
lol

Yea I think in 5.0 or 6.0 they made it so you could use midi which means the ability to use soft synths as well. I used acid when I first started and I have 6.0 now but theres alot of features it doesn't have so I never really messed with it for beats just mixing then I stopped using it lol. You can get the job done with it tho.

i dont think youd want to change the bpm in the middle of the song, unless you were trying to blend in another track? im not exactly sure what you're asking.

yes thats excatly what im askin... for example i got a mixtape 1 hour long, the whole mixtape wouldnt be same bpm... how should i do it

well, if the tracks are already finished, just add them in and dont beatmap them. acid will automatically have it set at 120 bpm, but just lay the tracks out as one shots, it will not change their bpm's

unless youre trying to intentionally change the bpm, cause i might have to think about that one, if thats the case let me know
