Whittey,
I hope I'm not too late. I hope you didn't make a mistake buy purchasing the sonic foundry program Acid, Acid Pro, Acid DJ or any other Acid prog. You cannot remix, you cannot manipulate the samples from within the program, you cannot create free music yourself with it.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ACID -- IT IS TRASH!!!
If you are looking to create, remix or record and publish electronic music with out using extensive and expensive midi processing and huge money hungry synths or samplers YOU WANT A PROGRAM CALLED: "FRUITY LOOPS"
It is the best most versitile sampling, mixing, recording prog. known to man that doesn't use midi. It also doesn't come with a 600 page manual. It is easy and very powerfull.
Why take my word for it? I have recorded my own samples and made CD's for my local DJ friends to cut and mix but I'm not a pro. You can look to Pro-Musicians like BT, Scott Henry, Roni Size, Groove Armada, and other pro's that have either used in the past or still use this prog.
As far as cutting and looping samples you can use a program from Steinburg called "RECYCLER" alot of pro use this as well. It's easy too.
You can find Fruity Loops @
http://www.fruityloops.com butyou can get it for free by getting the serial from any warez site. Same with Recycler
PS: anyone that suggests using acid to you - doesn't know anything about electronic music.
