dumping down acid to recording unit

[Russellc]

I currently have around 10 songs written which use acid music 2.0 for drum tracks and other sounds. I want to dump these down to some recording unit, be it software based pr a stand alone recorder, so I can record a band over it. I picked up the acid music rather quickly and love it. The only problem with going further with software is that my PC is a pentium II with 33 MHZ with 64mb of RAM. This seems to be a problem when dealing with software. Regardless, I was hoping some acid heads could offer some suggestions on what recording units/software programs work well with Acid 2.0. Thanks

Acid will let you save it as a mixed wav file, which just creates a single wav of your song from the separate loop and sample tracks. Once you get the mix of the acid song the way you want, you could do this and move that one wav file to any software multitrack program you want, or even record it onto an external unit. If you want to stay working on the computer, then n-track is an inexpensive multitracker that you can try out for free to start with. http://www.n-track.com

What's the speed of the cpu in the computer you have? I don't think it's 33Mhz if it's a Pentium anything. While not the best situation, if its a 200+ and you have a decently fast hard drive then you should be ok with recording and playing back a few tracks in some multitrack software such as n-track. Once you get the mixed wav you can open that as a track in n-track and then add the other tracks on top that however you plan to record them.

I also love Acid, even though I haven't used it for any of my songs yet. I can waste hours and hours playing with loops in that thing without even realizing the time has flown by.
