LOOPING CHP. 15
Creating an ACID beatmapped file
ACID beatmapped files can change tempo and pitch to match an ACID project. You must specify the file’s
original tempo and root note for transposing upon configuration. If you do not specify these values, no tempo
or key changes occur. Beatmapped files are typically used in ACID 3.0 or later for extended vocal tracks or
other long audio files that do not loop.
1.
Open the Voiceover.pca file and select the entire waveform.
2.
From the Special menu, choose Edit ACID Properties. The Edit ACID Properties dialog appears.
3.
Select the ACID Beatmapped radio button. Complete the information for an ACID beatmapped file:
• Select a value from the
Root note for transposing drop-down list so that ACID can transpose the file to
match the project key. Select
Don’t transpose from this list to keep the key from being changed.
• Specify the file’s original tempo (40-300 bpm) in the
Tempo box so that ACID can stretch the file to
match the project tempo. For more information, see Setting loop tempo on page 233.
• Enter a value in the
Downbeat offset (samples) box to indicate the location of the first downbeat.
4.
Click OK.

From the File menu, choose Save As and save the file with a descriptive name.
