as somebody who has used ACID for several projects, i'd just like to chime in here and say that i would sooner die at the hands of psychotic, tripping-on-mescaline midget lesbian avengers than hear the "acid aliasing" sound in any track EVER. i have to work very hard to get acid NOT to do that, and i simply cringe whenever i hear it in other people's work (check out random offerings on mp3.com under "electronica" and you can't go 5 tracks without hearing it). it is i kinda neat sound, but one that wears thin, IMO, after just a few moments. i've been working with ACID so much now that i'm REALLY sensitive to it (obviously) and can hear the aliasing in time-stretched material that i couldn't hear when i started with the proggy. besides, everybody knows that audiomulch is the sound-mangler for Y2K :) -------------- 1642 try 621 -------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
