Hi. Looking for a recomendation for something like Sonic Foundry's Acid that I can use on Mac. I edit video on Final Cut Pro and want to be able to add a few ambient tracks.

I am on a learning curve with Music programmes. I want to start with something simple but, if I am lucky, useable in my video edits.

Any advice greatly appreciated

thanks

Ableton do a similar (killer) product on mac, called 'Live' !

You will find the link to their web site in the MacMusic links area.
I guess a demo is available.

you can also try an app called Phraser which is looped based as well but a little less features than Live. And if you want something really easy... you can try Groove Maker... the simplest way I know to make some good sounding electronic loop based music... only downside is that there is no editing really and no effects but the interface is awesome and really ease to use.

Thanks for the tips. I am checking out their web sites, learning a little about what they do, before I ask any more questions....and I will have a few. Grateful for the assistance.

Downloaded both Groovemaker and Live....but I couldn't get any audio out of Live. Groovemaker is a dream...a fantastic interface. I suspect that these programmes may be predominantly dance music orientated. The thing I liked about acid was the the ambient tracks it had available. Ambient music is exactly what I am looking for. Does Live have a good capacity in this regard? If I get a sampler programme do I also need to get a mixing programme as well (Pro tools?)?
