A couple I would recommend are:

Mastering Audio - by Bob Katz (older, but good)
and
Mixing Audio - by Roey Izhaki (great book)

Others may have other favorites...

Nice. Thanks Greg, Dan, and team...

There's an icon on the right that will download all loops in the category you're viewing, just do that for each category and you'll have them all...

Thanks abn, it does help. I knew there wasn't a problem with MC5, but didn't know if it might have introduced something Acid didn't like. Apparently, between you and Vibrant, I'd say that's not the case either.

This thing is driving me freakin' nuts...

Thanks Vibrant, appreciate the information. Could you tell me what version (c, d, e)?

Besides Mixcraft, I also use Reason 4, Acid Pro 7, FL Studio 9, Reaper, and a couple of others. For the last two years they've all been working together on this system without a problem. The other day Acid Pro crashed at the load screen. I tried everything I could think of, and now I've been back an...

Sorry for the semi-rant, it was late and new software is frustrating :) Understandable. Been there, done that... I tried again this morning and it didn't work. Rebooted and now it does. Thanks Windows :evil: Glad it's working for you. I'm just getting into all the new stuff myself to see what new t...

I'm sorry, I'm a browser not a poster, but I just had to say I enjoyed that thoroughly.

It actually does work that way for pretty much everybody, tresero...

smallinson,

That works well to add loops until there is a loop update from Acoustica, which can happen automatically, that update will overwrite your CSV file.

Just so you know ahead of time...

I agree with all the previous posts, looks like you've done a lot of good work on the new version. I do have one question that I haven't seen asked lately (might have missed it). Will the loop library feature be a more open architecture in version 5? Either by being able to easily add loops to the l...

I don't have any problem with copy/paste, it's the way it works in most programs, but having owned Acid Pro since it was introduced I have to say the draw feature is really handy. Without having to copy and paste, you can simply click and drag the mouse to create a new copy (of any length) of a curr...

Very nice, Dan, appreciate the preview. Looking forward to playing with 5...

I work on Vista also and haven't had a problem yet with mixdowns. As teljax said, might be another issue...

This is a great conversation and it got me looking into it! It is a great conversation, I hope we get more input. " The computer just takes your audio in number form and manipulates it. Plugins too just manipulate the numbers. So what DOES make a difference? It's real simple: Excellent Microph...

Like I said, I'm way outta my league talking about audio software and don't want to sound like I'm doing anything but being curious. But, if that's the case, why wouldn't people just use the free recording software out there? Programs like Audacity can handle multiple tracks, do basic effects, use V...
