Acidized wav files

I have found this to be an issue as well, but have never said anything about it.

i guess it is safe to say that this is one of those features that looks good on print, but doesn't work. if you download a remix project from acidplanet.com they do not follow tempo.

it seems that that acidized waves don't follow tempo in a 48k session. Also, 24bit acidized waves don't show up in the loop browser. There are some other details I'm not thinking of. It looks like acidized waves have slightly limited functionality in Logic.

here is what i think.

acid waves do not work like they work in acid. the fact that you can import them into the logic session even though they have meta data for acid kinda means that they are compatible, but logic does not read the meta data.

acid files do not work in 44.1k or 48k or at any sample rate the way they should.

Weird, I use ACID files all the time. I believe you have to take the step of dragging the ACID files folder you want to use in Logic into the loop manager (maybe it's the loop utility, been awhile since I referenced loops). Logic will go through all the files and add them to the loop browser.

I typically make a folder with the name of the ACID loop CD I want on my harddrive. I then copy all the folders / content from an ACID loops CD to a folder into this folder.

All my ACID files work like in ACID (tempo)although, I don't think you can change the tuning like an Apple loop.

Hope this helps,

so your saying that you have to put them into the loop browser?

you can't just pull them from a finder window?

just tried adding the loops to the browser and then adding to the arrange.

and it worked (tempo and transpose)

cool. i guess it has been fixed, or always worked this way, and i wasn't doing it that way.

They definitely work, but with some limitations. This is a pretty new topic because just a few months ago I could hardly find anyone talking about it. I also found that they didn't work at all a few versions back. With current versions, I found that acidized waves don't follow tempo in a 48k session. Also, 24bit acidized waves don't show up in the loop browser, with the exception of one-shots. I found 16 bit acidized waves to work like apple loops in pretty much every way. I'm really curious to see what else people discover, since acid loops are a great resource.

I have used Acid wave files and dragged them into the loop browser and they work as expected.

One of the things you have to check is if are they are read only.
Get info on the files AND folders for the acid files.

If any of them are read only change them to read/write.

good point. i don't know if they are changed to AL or not. I will have to look for myself.

maybe this is why they cannot be used from the finder. therefore acid support is not available in logic except for the way i described above.

i do know that you cannot add fades to the regions if you drag the files from the loop browser. this kinda makes me think they are converted.

If you drag them into the loop browser, aren't you
converting them to Apple Loops? If you check out the
folder, are they then aif files instead of wav's (or
duplicated as aif)?

If they can easily be converted to apple loops,
that's still ok. The idea is just to be able to use
some of the huge acid library available from Sony.

When I drug? The Acid files into the loop browser a dialog box asks if you want to leave them in their original location or add them to the Apple Loops library.

I chose to leave them in their original location.
The loop browser didn't convert anything, it just indexed the files in the loop browser.

Tip: you have to quit an re-launch Logic to see the newly indexed files.

doesn't work that way for me!

i don't have to restart logic to see the files, and it doesn't ask me to index or leave. it just automatically converts them..
