Acid 4.0 I've found is the best for dub

Actually you can sequence in acid, but it's a very lengthy/timely process. It takes allots of work, however it may be a solution for people who do not have/use/want to deal with external midi-gear, but wish to just use samples on computer. <BR>Well, it's reletivly good also for sequencing/constructing beats/drum loops from drum/samples/kits files which you have on your computer. You just drag and drop samples from explore window into tracks ...then draw smples, move them around, apply effects, eq etc.... <BR>You may have playback problems and real time effects when building very complex project in acid if your computer system does not have enough RAM/CPU. To overcome this problem you can, however, select parts of sequence and 'render it as new track' .... you do it if/when you know for sure that you don't need controll over individual samples in the selected section. <BR>Sequencing musical instruments samples is way much more complicated, but also possible.... you need to use individual note samples and then place them into the track, then right-click and transpose to desired note. This really hard work, but also sort of acceptable for sequensing not very complicated lines , like bass lines, or relatively simple background synth &#40;like string pads etc...&#41;, but sure to create more realistic expressive solos - I'd say forget it - you gotta play synth with real keyboard and record it as audio take or midi sequence with dedicated midi-sequensing program... <BR> <BR>/respects, <BR>/Mike Zee <BR><A HREF="http://www.mzentertainment.com/dub_lab.htm" TARGET="_blank">ZDL</A>

here's image to illustrate what i've said above. <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... 93/633.gif" ALT="beat sequensing in acid"> <BR>There you can see as example sequensing in acid of simple house beat with synth pad: <BR>Track1 - open hat <BR>Track2 - close hat <BR>Track3 - Kik/bass drum <BR>Track4 - Clap/snare <BR>Track5 - synth pad <BR> <BR>this is primitive sequence, but you can go very complicated, you have no limits on tracks, you have good controll over liming, tunning, effects etc etc <BR>/Mike Zee aka Dr. ZEE
