Hi,
is the soundfoundry ACID a good option for music autoring, specially for someone like me that is a programmer and not
a composer/musician?

Are thre any other similar tools that you could recommend me?

Thanks

Miguel,

I have ACID, and it is a blast. I am a programmer, and not a musician. The software takes a bit of getting used too, but I have been playing with it more than anything lately.

Here is my stuff, if you are interested:

Have Fun!

Don't know do you care about my replay now. Didn't sow the forum earlier. So the answer to your question is. ACID is IMHO crap. The way it resamples samples, I don't like it at all, it eats lot of sound quality in that matter. But if you just want to try out some musical stuff then it ok for beginner. It's very easy to learn. You will find fun working with it but you won't ever reach maximum creativity with it.

ACID can play samples in one shot mode, to say that it's resampling feature makes ACID "crap" is pure ignorance.

Not to say it's the best sequencer ever made, but it's very functional.

Remember, it's not the tools that make you good....

I agree that ACID is very functional but only then when you use the material that is given by the acid package. If you want to create something on your own, each sound, sample, wave, from scratch then ACID is a very wrong place to sequence all this. It is to automated for mixing together wired stuff and that's a big drawback. I use Cool Edit Pro when I want to sequence some samples, waves ect and I love it. It does this job perfect.
