Re: Loops on Acid

["Matt Rowe" <mattrowe@hotmail.com>]

hi all,

i just installed acid on my machine, and i love it.  it's very 
intuitive.  it's so easy to get things going in sync, to stretch 
different files to the same lengths.

i'd recommend it to any looper.

get a loudness maximizer as your first plug-in, it can really push a 
drum loop to the front.
