clipping.....!

[gartulan]

I am a new acid pro 4 user--

Is there a secret to getting the loops to synch with prerecorded material?
And what is up with the clipping when a new loops starts. How do eliminate the pop when the new loop begins.

I need to win the lottery and quit my job in order to learn to use this stuff. makes me wish I was 15 again with nothing to do but learn mundane subjects through osmosis and party.....

Use beat mapper to set the project tempo wit the tempo of the recorded material...
as far as the clipping, I beleive there is a setting to check in preferences which will fade .... thats usually set at default...
Or it could be you have the tail end of a loop going... zoom in and make sure the loop starts at the beginning and not just at the tail end...
And I''m not sure whether you are talking about a loop you made or an acid sample loop?
Also check if there are any new updates... maybe you got a bug.

they were just some loops I downloaded. I just need to swpend some time and get comfortable....I had a version of acid from 1999 before this and there is a lot of new stuff going on for me to digest.

I don't know how things work in Acid, and I don’t know what causes the popping, but a rough slicing of the sample/loop might be the problem. A trick that works good for me (in Sound Forge) is to ‘soften’ the beginning and the end of the sample: by a ultra-short fade in at the beginning, and a fade out at the end.

The reason you're getting "pops" is because you are not truncating the BEGINNING and the END points of your sample properly.

Try performing these cuts at the crossover point (0db).
