NUMBER OF BEATS
This option determines the length, in beats, of the Loop. If a 16-beat Loop is
specified as an eight beat Loop, it will play twice as fast as it should in ACID.
You can type a new length number directly in the field, or use the up and down
arrows to the right of the field to change the length number.
ROOT NOTE FOR TRANSPOSING
This option determines the root note that ACID will use to pitch the Loop to
the project key. If the root note is A, and the project key is C, the Loop will be
transposed up three semitones. You can change the note by clicking on the
down arrow to the left of the field and clicking on a new root note in the list.
DISK-BASED
Disk-Based files can stretch with tempo, but will not change pitch with the
ACID project’s key. Long files like vocal tracks are usually considered Disk-
Based.
TEMPO
Disk-Based tracks can stretch to the tempo of the project, but the original
tempo must be specified. If a tempo is not specified, the Disk-Based track will
not stretch.
EDIT FRAME RATE
Use this dialog to change the Frames per second value used by Sound Forge XP for
status information when using Absolute Frames or Time & Frames format. The
included presets are there for your convenience. You can manually enter the
frame rate below.
