Lunatic,
I have worked with Acid 4.0 quite a bit recently. I've even been creating my own one-shot loops from my drum kit in an attempt to get the drum sounds I want. They are actually coming out quite well...
I recently purchased Vegas+DVD also. I've already discovered a few bugs that are quite annoying (like not being about to load V2 projects into V4). Hopefully a patch or two will come out soon and fix the problems that many people have already reported.
Anyway, if you guys are planning on getting a Denver get-togther going and don't mind a recording Newbie tagging along, I've love to join you.
Alan
P.S. Weekends are good for me...
