"Hello this is Kyle with Expert Village and I'm going to be talking about some tips for Sony acid pro. You always just go file open just like anything. I know some programs actually have a in word option but on acid you open the file just like you would open the acid the acid file itself. Now first of all I think the most important thing for you to really know is what is a loop. When we look up here I go through that in a minute but here is your draw tool as your basic tool that your going to use. Click it here a loop is simply a segment of music, it is typically a measure, it could be a quarter note, it could be a sixteenth of a note, but it is a measure that is repeated so the way acid is set up is that one little piece of this one little measure of this music. So right here this is a loop let me let your hear it. It is just a really simple loop a little drum beat. Now that was the fill so what I'm going to do I'm going to put a fill that it is going to go into here is a drum beat. Now a loop is something that you can put one after the next, after the next step we would drag this out it will continues to repeat the same piece of musical information there. So it is like I have 20 loops let me just draw that our for you right quiet so you can see how loop repeat sounds like. "
