Loop program advice

ClipMan wrote on 11/14/2009, 12:08 PM

I need to record and make loops from rhythm guitar, piano and bass instruments. Drums and percussion are already loop based. I estimate 12 to 15 tracks per project. I have Vegas8, SF Studio9 and Acid Studio 6. Before I immerse myself fully into the production of loops, can you advise me which of these programs has the most complete set of looping tools. I am prepared to upgrade any of these programs if they provide a better set of looping tools. TIA for any feedback.

Acid is the only way to go for this type of work.

Yep, ACID is the right tool for the job.

I'm not sure what the limitations are with Acid Studio. You may have to upgrade to Acid Pro if, for example, Acid Studio doesn't support as many tracks as you need.

Thanks for the feedback. I was confused because you can make loops in all three programs. I was looking for advice about the actual 'construction' of the loop and which program could do it the easiest and best. I can then rack 'em and stack 'em in Vegas or Acid. Looks like I have an answer. I will now proceed to pester the Acid forum for assistance in other areas. Thanks again.
