Acid is not a tracker in the classic sense, but it does about the same thing in a more intuitive format. I'm a huge fan of this program, and have taken to assembling tracks in it that I might otherwise have to chop up and dump in the sampler. I actually bought the "Acid Music" subset version because it was only $70 vs $299 for the full version. It leaves out some stuff (directx plugins, external sync) but it does what I want it to. And I've used it to record live stuff against backing tracks too, and the non-destructive editing is amazingly good. And no you don't need MIDI to do anything with acid. kent williams -- xxxx@xxxxxx.xxx On Fri, 19 Feb 1999, Nate Harrison [Toshok Laboratories] wrote: > > Hope y'all don't mind I ask a very niave question I guess, but what > exactly is tracking?
