> Substitute For ACID, Loop Based Sampling
Substitute For ACID
Substitute For ACID
I have used the program ACID for its capability to sample vocal recordings, turn them into loops and layer them on top of eachother etc. [ 0 ] ** [0.00%]
Now that I am going to purchase a G4, I need a substitute program. It seems that Ableton's live is the closest but does it even sample? I downloaded the demo and don't see this capability anywhere. I also want to be able to zoom into the sound waves and use the parallel of the eraser tool in ACID and delete pieces etc...I am not concerned with live performance--the program Live mainly advertises itself as such a program. I want to record in-studio and edit loop based music in-studio that is ENTIRELY made of my own samples. Where can I find this in the world of Macs? [ 1 ] ** [100.00%]

Personnaly, I don't think either works quite as well as acid. Phraser just plain doesn't work, and Live is not quite as forgiving.

Live does, however, work. And all the other stuff Live does is gravy. Too bad there is a looping bug that gets unusable in conjunction with Reason.

Another way to do this is in reason. The REX format is a little tougher to use, but has far greater creative flexibilty.
