I then simply held down the Shift key and used the 7,8,9,0 keys to pitch shift the melodic instruments up and down in unison. I then created a Loop Region and started playback in Loop mode.Īs the project played back I right mouse clicked and dragged over the loops (media) that I wanted to pitch change. In the the pix below I've set my Project Settings, project tempo and dragged & dropped acid loops from the Media Explorer to the timeline and created a quick arrangement. I would suggest enabling the Display Media Names, Display Media Item Pitch/Rate & Show/Draw Labels if desired. Also, go to REAPER Preferences|Media tab to adjust your media items appearance. Now hold the Shift key and use the (7,8,9,0) keys (not the num pad) to adjust the pitch (down one cent, up one cent, down one semitone, up one semitone) respectively. Right mouse click and drag over the loops you want to affect to select them. Simply drag & drop your loops from the Media Explorer to the timelime. I would suggest a good pitch shifting algo like the elastique 2 Efficient and make sure your timebase is set for Beats (position, length,rate). Have you guys read the manual? There is lot's of good stuff in there! ) Make sure your Project Settings are correctly configured first. I still cant find any answers for the acid pitching thing, which is suprising as it looks like Acid!! lol If only the pitching was sorted then Reaper would be great!

And the rate of update and enhancement is absolutely STAGGERING.Īs well, the fact that the online community is so active and responsive is a welcome change from the moribund ACID Pro community. It's a bit of an adjustment, particularly in the way routing works, but it's lean, clean, and works like a hot damn. I won't extend this (already lengthy) post longer by going into the details of my current experience with REAPER, apart from saying that IT ROCKS. As my musical experimentation increased, I kept waiting to see what was coming in the hypothetical new release of ACID Pro, but finally got tired of waiting and decided to try REAPER.

I don't think I need to convince anyone of how important it is for software releases to keep pace with technology. I have a suspicion that most (if not all) of the ACID developers have either left Sony Creative Software or moved over to other products. I guess that's what can happen when a small company (Madison Media Software, formerly Sonic Foundry) is swallowed up by a huge corporation - focus can be completely lost on a great product, allowing it to languish and die. Such a shame for the software that pioneered loop-based music creation. It's a pretty good DAW, but they have evidently scaled back development efforts to a drastic extent. (In contrast to Sony Vegas, which appears to be enjoying a lot of interest.) I chalk this up to Sony's mismanagement of the product. If the incredibly low rate of user posting on the Sony Creative ACID Products Family Forum is any indication, there seems to be even less interest in ACID Pro than ever. It is close to two years since their last release of a maintenance version of ACID Pro 6 and there appears to be little or no activity on the horizon. To me it now appears that ACID Pro has completely stalled as a product. But apparently I was wrong in my assumptions. Sony Creative was due for a new version anyway - most of their other products are already Vista-compatible. At the time I assumed it wouldn't be long before a new version of ACID Pro was released that supported Vista. I did these, and in general it's running OK.

ACID Pro was not Vista-certified, and there are a few tweaks required to the Windows registry to make it run correctly in standard user mode (i.e.

My disillusionment with ACID began when I upgraded my computer to Vista, earlier this year. IMHO ACID Pro was actually starting to approach the sophistication of tools like Cubase, although it was being largely ignored by the majority of the DAW community. I started with canned loops, but quickly moved into MIDI as a way to have complete control over every facet of the music.Ībout a year after I bought ACID Pro 5, Sony Creative released version 6, with tons of new features, and that was really cool. But I soon discovered the excitement in creating my own music.

My initial purpose was mainly to create mixes, and it worked quite well for that. I started using ACID PRO a few years ago (when it was still version 5). Just thought I'd introduce myself and solicit comments from others who may have some experience with ACID Pro and their subsequent experiences with REAPER.
