Things are shaping up nicely -- I've got 16 loops uploaded, and more will be
showing up daily. I'm surprised I haven't heard from more of you, but the
4 people I've already recruited have done a good job.
For you IDM'ers with reasonably modern PCs and Sound Cards, I'd HIGHLY
recommend checking out Acid Music by Sonic Foundry. You can get a demo
at
http://www.sonicfoundry.com
It costs $99.95 direct (79.99 at places like Best Buy) and has everything the
$399 Acid Pro has except support for Direct X plugins and 'acidising' files.
Acid makes it a no-brainer to arrange loops into tracks, and supports very good
non-destructive editing -- you can zoom into one measure of a track, and totally
cut up and rearrange it, then save it to a new file, where you can run off-line
editors to mess it up further.
If anyone really cares enough to ask nicely, I can 'acidize' these files and
place uncompressed wav files at idrive.com -- this makes them respond to time
stretching a little better.
Oh, and I have first dibs on totally abusing Acid's time stretch/pitch shift as
an IDM(r) Sound Effect. Pretty soon you'll be hearing that all over in tracks,
replacing the Hyperprism Sonic Decimator as the sound-mangler for Y2K.
