i make mostly hard rock, experimental music....
but whenever i'm feeling bored or uninspired i use acid to make 'remixes' or 'rearrangements' of my music and useally come up with all kinds of odd music.
 
Acid music

Acid music is a very useful program, as many people would agree. Like Reflex kid was saying, making beats in perfect tempo is easy to do with Acid. I also use it for recording guitar/vocals. I do some editing with Cool Edit, and sound Forge depending on what I want to accomplish. Very good program!
 
Something Else

I use it to make silly mixes. Like I have a mix of the most popular White rapper (Em*****) with a banjo accompanying one of his songs.
 
Yeah, I have a soft spot for Acid. I don't think I will ever not use it. It's so easy and quick. I also own Sonar and usually use them both for projects.

I usually compose in Acid, get my main ideas down, then export to Sonar for my sequencing and more complex MIDI tasks. I'm so hoping Rewire will be included in the next version, that would be the bomb.
 
Something else...

For some time I've had no one to jam with... not that there's no one available, I'm just way too busy with work etc.

So I use acid to develop background to acompany my guitar playing. Of course along the way I've done the electronica thing... It comes together nicely when you have a huge library of loops :)

I also often use Fruity Loops to make custom percussion/drum loops to use in Acid...

More recently I've hooked up with the guitar player from the band I was in years ago... we've started writing again and we find Acid very handy as a high end metronome ;)

Okay, I'm a newbie, but I wanted to say hi and make this ACID thread the first one I post on...hey, all!

I use it for a lot of stuff - making production music beds for work (works especially well when I'm producing commercials for clubs), putting together demos of my songs for the rest of the band to learn (really easy to edit arrangements - helps the creative flow), and sometimes I use it just to make tracks to get the "electronic music" in me out.

ACID kicks ass.

I make my drum tracks in Acid and place them in CEP.
I start with the basic drum loop(duplicated in CEP), record the other parts (bass, guitar etc.) in CEP, then go back to Acid to make the alternate beats, breakbeats, etc. and place them in the CEP session
 
I use ACID for almost everything man, I think it'S very flexible.

I produce my beats using ACID, sometimes will record bass & vocals in it though i'm thinking about buyin Vegas to do that.

I also use Sound F for sample-tweaking purposes
 
i use it as a multi-track recorder...i record everything on it

basically rendered my digital fostex four track useless..until i get another mic so i can use two mics to record the drums..and then just load them onto the computer

but..i may just get a better soundcard..one that can handle more than one mic at a time..

and then sell my four trak on e-bay..

i don't really know
 
I may be wrong but Acid 4 cannot record more than one track simultaneously which is perfectly fine for some but a pain for others. Cool Edit it a good companion but neither is good with recording and manipulating MIDI. CEP would be killer with even decent MIDI implementation but Adobe has no plans to do that.
 
actually, I used Acid for a loong time...since 2.0, matter of fact, so I have got a chance to "grow" with it, if you will...I Produce hiphop so Acid was IDEAL inthat case..find a loop...drop it...call it good...then i kinda "backtracked" got into Fruity loops...created drum tracks with fruity...exported it BACK into Acid then freaked the samples...now I use Fruity for nearly everything (seriously) production wise...I love acid myself it gives one a sense of stabibilty and it really does have a different sound as far as interpretation of samples...i wish sonic foundry would put out some type of scoring or synth type program that the user can play thru like on FL

CEP is the best multi-tracker...I could never get my backups to synch properly (sound card issue?)


maybe ya'll can help..i'm babbling...


It's 4:20 I need to go get "inspired"

maybe a reply to me?

i meant to record my drums onto my four track using two differnet mics..and then load them upseperately onto my Pc to use with acid 4
 
I use Acid in my own personal music. From Drum loops (don't have a drummer up this way anymore) to strange noises.
