    To paraphrase Jar-Jar Binks, "Yousa wrongo."
    ACID lets you handles audio as loops or as straightforward recorded audio
    tracks.
      (BTW, They came out with customized, simplified versions of the program
    called "ACID Rock" and ACID "Hip-hop"...
    I was waiting for them to come out with "ACID Jazz" :) :) :)

    But what do I need ACID for? I have SONAR :)

    Musicians in da house: I went to NAMM on Thursday and Saturday and posted a
    review right here:

    That's cos its was hard to top last year's SONAR release, where they
    reportedly saw reps from certain German software companies come to the
    booth with expressions of soiling in their pants. But this year, all they
    had was their 1.3.1 upgrade to sell, and SONAR 2 is still further in
    development.

    Actually Cubase is the most popular program, though the years of poor
    stability is starting to cost it some allegiance from its users, now
    flocking to Logic or SONAR.
