Your system requirements for acid music studio are an 800 MHz processor, 256 MB RAM and 200 MB for total install. Acid music studio uses a very easy pick and paint loop system. All you need is to pick a loop and paint it into your workspace. The number of tracks allowed a massive music studio is only limited by your computer's ability to handle. It uses a very easy to use loop selection system. You have a window that you select your loops from. When loading loops it is best to use organization because it uses a simple file and folder selection system.

Acid music studio works with 70 to 200 beats per minute. This allows you to take most any loop and make it sound quite different. By using various effects you can make a small number of loops sound like a very large library of loops. Acidized loops have built-in information about the loops normal beats per minute and its normal pitch. By using acid music studio you can change both the beats per minute and pitch easily.

The program contains a very easy-to-use split tool. This allows you to take any loop and chop it up for customization. It also contains a tool called the chopper. The chopper does the same thing as the split tool only is far more in depth. By using it's also easy to use copy and paste tools. You can take one loop and use it to create your own customized loops.

Acid music studio also has built-in MIDI and synth program add-ins. It also includes live recording capability. These features I have not used much but intend to do so in the future. I will convey my findings in my blog. I'm looking forward to using them more with the exception of the built-in recording capability because I use other software for those functions.

Pitch shift, pan envelope and volume envelope. Pitch shift allows you to change the pitch of a loop. This allows you to take one loop and make it sound different. Much like the changing the beats per minute this allows you to take a small collection of loops and make it seem much larger. Pan envelope allows you to move the sound within the stereo field. The stereo field is your ability to hear left and right and directly in front. This would typically be called a 2.0 speaker set-up. By moving the sound of your track or individual loops from left to right or center. You change the effect of what people will be hearing. This is your most important tool. When you watch a movie in a theater and you hear the sound move all around you, this is action in the stereo field. In music this is used to give a more lifelike sound. When recording drums the position of the drums in a typical drum set will be taken into account. Bass kick in the middle, and other drums arranged from left to right. This gives a sensation of actually being in front of the drum kit. Volume envelope is your other most important tool probably more important than any other. It allows you to change the volume of each individual track, also giving a more lifelike feeling by giving contrast to each individual track or loop. For example in rock music the guitars bass and other instruments will be louder when they are only playing by themselves, and will all become quieter during singing or vocal tracks.

One last nice thing about acid music studio movie I'll talk about here. Is its ability to render in 13 different types of sound files. With 11 templates. This allows you to control exactly how big a file and how nice you want to finished product to sound on your computer. The file sizes range from raw audio, MP3s, Windows player audio files. Etc. Each file type allowing you to control the size of the file. And the quality at which you wish to save it. Lower file size equals less quality. These file formats work by removing certain aspects of the song which normally unhearable, do contain aspects of how you hear the song and make it sound better. Think of how singing in the bathroom sounds. The type of walls used, and close space gives a very nice tone to singing. And while parts of what you are hearing are not completely audible they do add vibration which you feel. Converting to MP3, removes really extreme levels of these sounds and sensations. Strictly speaking this does not lower the level of the music's quality a great deal. But for those who like real good quality recording it will be a noticeable difference.
