aflunky	Date: March 1, 2006 @ 7:30 PM We got plenty of people here that use Acid I use Acid Max $terling uses Acid JV uses Acid Dizeazed uses Acid I'm sure there are more people who are in the closet Acid users btu I better shut up now... (hey, mr fbi dude, where's my taco?)
leedsquietman	Date: March 1, 2006 @ 9:23 PM Acid is kind of pigeon-holed (like FL Studio) as a tool for dance music/trance/drumnbass and hip-hop/rap. It can do more and my first experience with computer recording was Acid 3.0 packaged with a CD burner - more people don't own up to using it because it's seen as a tool for 'non-musicians' as it has a bunch of pre-loaded samples and some people who use it use the same preset beats cut and pasted, repeat, etc. You can see why it has this reputation as beats and user friendliness make it a good dance/hip hop tool but it is capable of much more. Like FL studio it can do much more if placed in the hands of someone musical and/or creative. PS - I don't make Hip Hop or Dance music but use Reason and people often berate that program too but ultimately a tool (or software) is only as good as the workman (musician/composer) etc.
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 3, 2006 @ 9:27 AM ive used FL and Acid before but im quite at home using Jeskola Buzz i dont think i use a single "professional" tool unless you count Soundforge...
aflunky	Date: March 3, 2006 @ 10:11 AM I feel that it's best to use whatever the Artist feels good using. I could just as well use cake walk and Protools, I know how to. But I'm comfortable with Acid. Go Figure.

Fraser	Date: April 26, 2006 @ 3:59 PM I only use Acid to mix together songs and fade certain stuff in and out. Then again, I dont have the version where you make sounds All I have is this stupid... Acid 3.0. I dont know what youd call it.
Exdavid	Date: April 27, 2006 @ 12:34 PM So, no ones uses trackers supposedly because your not hip enough and can't make real music with it. The spreadsheat like patterns are too hacker like. It's like ASM or C vs. BASIC.
shadowself	Date: April 27, 2006 @ 1:37 PM I have actually done tracking with ACID before (non-loop). It's not as nice to work with linear tracks as SONAR is, but it definitely does the trick. I liked ACID when I used it, but there are other tools that suit my style better.
