I could have gone my whole life not knowing that that's what Danger Mouse was using. I'm hoping next week is "Cool Edit Pro: The Legend of Peter Quitsgard."
Cool Edit Pro, where I got my audio editing start. And like most, got Adobe Audition next. The only audio editor that's as easy to use as a Word doc. Cut copy paste.
Agreed! Been on Acid Pro and FL Studio since day one in 2003. I started on Pro 4. I now own Pro 7. Covid club kills tanked my gigs so the need to upgrade cannot be justified atm. But if the economy ever comes back, I'll upgrade to Pro 11. An amazing DAW. And super intuitive.
Yo Fam! You dipped in the bag of jewels with this one #memories 🙌🏿 recorded some of my first demos with this when I got my first PC back in ‘03/4. You used to get it free with cameras back then I think 💥💥💥💥
I used Acid Pro in the past. Made some good music on it. Going to have to good back and dig it up. I'm starting to realize that I don't need the latest and the greatest to make good music. And just maybe having a 100 different plug-ins is actually getting in the way of creativity.
Acid is one of my favorites of all time. I actually got it free from Sonic Foundry after winning a beat contest they sponsored. I was blown away right away. Coming from having a hardware sampler that had no time stretching, let alone key matching, I was blown away
"Ableton live came in hittin' harder than Mike Tyson in the 80's" LMAO - day made. Truth though. I have Live 9 now after a long period. Started with GarageBand back in 06 and then transitioned to Reason 4 for a looooong time. Like expanding these videos to DAW's. Subscribed.
I just found your channel a few days ago and it's pretty obvious you have a nice, long history with studio recording and I appreciate that. You video about Reason's history was in my recommendations because I've been using that DAW since 2001/2002. Any plans on making a video on the history of C-Lab's Notator Logic? That would be pretty cool mang! Their history is pretty interesting IMHO.
what many people don't know: acid pro is still heavely used in latinoamerica, i.e. in reggeaton and especially in brasil : all the baile funk producers from the favelas they all use acid ! i'd love to hop on it myself but im stuck with a mac computer and ableton so basically im good lol
And Apple put the methodology in Logic. The way you paint waveforms is literally identical - use that. I even think they used some of the developers in it.
hey i love your vids! was always curious about this DAW - by the time i got into making music it was on its way out and no one talks about it much these days. clams casino made a lot of great beats in it but i think he uses ableton now. i think Live let people work with audio clips in an even more convenient way and it seems like it replaced acid at least partly for this reason.
Back in '99, I had a still relatively new Yamaha SU700 that I recorded an album with, but then I had the idea I should switch to software, so I sold my hardware and bought a desktop PC. (In retrospect, I wish I'd kept the SU700, but I thought the future was in DAWs, which in itself I can't regret getting into.) I had cracked copies of three Sonic Foundry apps: Sound Forge, Vegas and Acid. For a while there, these were my go-to music-making tools. Acid in particular was just right for looping. Then Reason came out, and I 'acquired' a cracked copy of it. I thought that was "it" and stopped using Acid, but kept using Sound Forge for mixdown and mastering. After a bit, I realized Reason had a lot of drawbacks, but Ableton arrived and that's been my go-to ever since. And I have hardware again.
the SU7000 was awesome.. well underappreciated and its slicer gater effect is stil lone of the best ive heard on the market... I liked the valve tube display... but the unit itself was REALLY ballsy.. not exactly an A5000 but it didnt have to be... it was going up the SP units from Roland and Yamaha had only just come out with the RM1x and the two lil SU200, AN and DX units, which are phenomenal and have recently been massacred to salvage the PLG boards to toss into the old Yamaha units which could house them... shame really... These days, these units are going for a furtune... i dno if the trend of lowfi or dawless, but i too am kicking myself for selling alot of my HW thinking that its redundant coz of all the SW.. i sold my 2 tb303's which i bought from a garage sale from an old lady who had no idea what theywere.. still boxed as new.. she bought them for her sons... I got them for $60 for the two... I sold them for $6000 (one for 2500 and the other for 3500 when Rebirth came out... Im now kickin myself... badly... Now i now just to hang onto everything... like a freak from those hoarder shows... LOLLLL
I love Acid Pro and it''s still my primary DAW after more than 20 years of production. But there needs to be an official Mac version of this software if it's ever going to get the respect and following it deserves. The most successful DAWs with any kind of longevity have to be available cross platform. Maschine and Ableton understood this. Even FL Studio understands this. And yet, Acid Pro is still PC only since its inception. That has to change!
Yeah your right..The magix guys need to realize this..There spending alot of time on Vegas but they need to pay more attention to the marketing of Acid.
Thanks for this. Acid (and Soundforge) forever have a place in my heart. AcidPlanet was the go-to place to make remixes. Got my originals for free from Newsgroups before everything came with embedded viruses. Once I could afford the stuff, I paid for them.
Same here..I don't know any daw with an easier project workspace than Acid..Its so easy to manipulate it with the mouse..If they made the midi more stable and touched up some things here and there they would be fine.
Great DAW! Ahead of its time. I used to duplicate basslines with it. By placing them just right, you got this amazing phaser effect... and the fattest bass sound in the history of fat bass sounds. 😎
Fantastic documentary! Love the history. I started using Acid right after Sony took them over. I didn't spend much time with it (life happens), but I liked it because I was familiar with the workflow in Vegas, and they were similar. Fast-forward to last year, I got back on the home studio wagon and I went ahead and upgraded to Acid Pro 11. I know it gets alot of flack, but honestly it works pretty good for me. I use other DAWs as well, but I still enjoy using my Acid Pro.
I made some of my best beats on Acid Pro... I love Ableton, but Acid Pro really had a feel to the work flow.... being able to pitch with the +/- its the absolute #1 thing I wish ableton have !!!
Yo Shades this is why we love you bro. You can never really know where you at till you understand where you been. Technology moves so fast that you miss out on some dope ideas from the past. If you go back to see where stuff started you can apply old ideas to new gear and create new workflows. We are now moving into the “ vintage daw” era. Something good is gonna come outta this. Maybe a move “back” to simplicity instead of chasing tech all the time. Which usually turns out to be scammy feature laden BS. Keep it coming bro!
As a break beats maker's tool, Acid Pro has a role even now I believe. But Fl can chop the audio data smoothly when we use Edison and from 12 (?) FL can change the speed without changing the pitch, I think now Fl can be used for a break beats maker's tool and daw.
I remember driving to a trap house just to hear that grey album for the first time. That album was so dope I risked my life just to hear it from the only person in the hood that had a copy.
Lets not forget midi scaler helper before flstudio made that and plus many other things and options before any other daw ,many of the features acid pro7 have had since 2009 these other daws came like recently with them features
Yo I started on Acid, but also I brought to a nice summer camp - we had Acid Music ($30) on each laptop, I'd pre-cut samples acid-ized from recent modern music each year, to make it far better than just using Sony's Acid loop libraries. It was 10-15 year old campers and man I had over 500 of them, they all were able to use Acid after my one minute explanation, it was so intuitive to them. Acid 7 wasnt a real DAW, but there are many wonderful things about Acid. But did you know that Apple hired some of the Acid pioneers to make Garageband (so that it has the same technology as Acid-loops, just with different names. So it succeeded in that way ... but thx for mentioning how much it crashed. I was a hardcore Acid user until I went Mac in 2012.
Yeah Acid was like the easiest daw to lean..If you knew how to operate something like WindowsXP..You pretty much knew how to navigate and use Acid Pro.
Ooooh, the hardware is my favorite but I'd love to see some more DAWs. I started on Ableton 7 and that feels like centuries ago, I can't even imagine the older versions. I remember trying the original version of Frooty Loops too just to see what it looked like
Dope as usual! I started beats with Magix and vocals on Acid Pro. Now it seems that they combined forces. I am thinking about going back to this or Audacity. I love the feel of hardware, but the infinite possibilities of software won’t let me leave. I am going back to a simple sampler with software sequencing... Thanks again for all you do! You know your shit Homie!
Yo, Acid Pro was my jam back the day. It was actually what got me started in music production back in 2002. I started with version 2.0 that I bought at Best Buy for like $60. Way cheaper than an MPC 2500 or Pro Tools which everyone else was repping at the time. You ain't never lie about that crashing though. That's ultimately why I gave it up. (And getting Maschine) I ended up switching to Presonus Studio One for my main DAW. I tried to give the new version a go last year but at this point the interface just feels too dated.
Same here Sony pro acid 2.0 was included with my computer I bought. Learned a lot but a pain to learn also. Loops were definitely needed. No midi keyboard or ready made acapellas. Lots of chopping 😂
Lol. I feel you..Magix still have some updating to do..If they gave it a designated step sequencer feature like FL studios I think that would help alot.
acid pro was the shit. started with hip hop ejay in the late 90s then acid pro came bundled with a printer that my dad bought and a whole new world opened for me. was my main daw for nearly ten years.
@@DyReckProductions they shouldn't have messed with it. For some reason it seems to me that Sony had to get rid of it and passed it to Magix to destroy it and bury it.
i gotta sub this guy he is so on point with the context of what was happening. dangermouse broke the mash up scene with that grey album. full respect to this guy though hes one of the few cats out here with something original and fun to watch.
Acid was my first DAW, I was on it when Sonic Foundry released it. I would upload my ASR-X .aif into Sound Forge to convert into .wav and get the sample rate right for Acid. Lol. ASR-X, ACID, SOUND FORGE and SYNAPSE ORION for vst action, was my first set-up. Ableton pretty much replaced Acid and Orion, but I still us them from time to time.
I bought Acid pro 2.0 and fucking loved it. It seemed to me though you forgot the Reason thang...Seems like people went to Reason or they went to Ableton. I stayed with Acid cuz I just wasn't serious, I knew Ableton would be handle the latency thang one day(for me it was version 9 that didn't make me want to throw the monitor). In between those years, I was an adamant hardware or die cat, Acid was my version of solitaire, it's how I wasted time at work. Then Ableton worked and I gave it a shot, but relapsed, currently back to hardware of die(shrug).
This and soundforge and rebirth (with the trick to throw your own samples in rebirth) and reason (2 i think) was what i started with. My music wasn´t incredible, but man was i productive, more than now probably.
Same here bro!..Every time I try another DAW I end up going back to Acid pro..I edit the audio for my videos on Acid pro..My only issue is sometimes it crashes..And if it had a dedicated drum sequencer like redrum or kinda like what FL studio has where it has a good layout just for the sequencer functions.. I would be happy..I know how to use the sequencer of the DAW to make beats.. But its just annoying always going to the top menu to change the grid..But its a great DAW real easy to use.
Hahahahaha. Fam you are on it!!! Do y'all remember Sonic Foundry products from the 90s?? Man all of them including acid 2.0. Loops loops loops hahahah it was crazy. I thought it was dope (just the loops) I would chop up the sounds and put them through my ASR and then put it back in Acid..... Sidenote: Danger Mouse was a genius for that but then Kev Brown....the Brown Album. Omg Last but not least Red Spyda!!!!!!!! Yessir Napster/Bearshare etc was going crazy I hate it Sony bought it. It does not even look the same...
i bought acid pro whatever complete edition in 2004 and i had gone home to visit grandma. she threw away my cd sleeve with the unlock key code on it thinking it was trash... terrible piece of history for me acid pro was the shitin '04 and i had just bought it for $400. this was back in the day before it was easy to get something like that back. left with a $400 table coaster.
@@DyReckProductions i got a few beats out of it. wouldnt have needed that paper if the police didnt destroy my laptop. they dont like it when you aint a snitch. ancient history
I found a copy of 3.0 last year new in box for 5 bucks... so yeah I grabbed it. The cheaper program was called Acid Music. :) Then there was the website we all shared music on, Acid Planet. :) But Magix killed the website... :(
I came from acid, now using Studio One more plugs of course. Acid shipped with Ni vst, that's it but was good drag and drop daw. Still got version 6 in the box 📦
I love this DAW but man Magix FCKD it up big time! I’ve been using this since Sonic Foundry and then Sony, then Magix just leave it in the dirty and create unlimited UPDATES without really making any changes and then the older one ends up not working! I’m also using MAC so I have to purchase Parallel as I’m a MAC user and I wish they created one for Mac. Yup to this day I am using paranoid SAVES brother! MAGIX if you can read THIS, please do something about it! Please please please!
fantastic video and passion for this software!! but your opinion on midi is way off. I write all my music in midi and never have problems. I run hundreds of vst instruments and fx only 1 in a hundred times it crashes which is no more common than other daws. would be nice if could snap or quantize beats to grid lines but obviously, Cubase have a patent on that, which is why I use both. acid is best for audio, arrangement, editing. but seriously dude there is no problem recording midi with acid pro. I am so confident i would even do a live stream start to finish writing a tune and I would have no crashes! have recorded many sessions! also, 32bit actually makes no difference! apart from this, great video!
Oh ok..Which version are you using..Acid has quantize and snap to grid..Ive had problems from version 7 and up with midi..It got alot better on 8 and 10 but still freezes every now and then.
@@DyReckProductions I use sony's final retail release version 7d, before the almost decade of no releases (which is because it was the most solid release out there! no need to upgrade or change it) 6 was a buggy money grab as no different from 5 apart from full of bugs..and 7 is perfect! yes it does have a quantize and even has scale and chord help which cubase has only just added in version 11 lol.. and dubplicating midi tracks has only just been added to fl studio in verison 20 lol.. and although i have no problems with acid pro and use it for 90% of stuff I make still some things I prefer to use cubase for. like being able to route a synth into another one. and it has better snap to grid controls and chord tools in the latest release. so for chordz plugins such as cthulu cubase is actually better but for literally everything else, acid pro has always been on top for decades! and I have a theory all the other daws joined forces on marketing campaigns to push acid out as hardly any mentions of it anywhere! my youtube series will show why sony creative software such as acid pro is the best daw.
@@djcaseuk Good point. You might be right about them trying to push it out..It seemed like after 2014 whenever they mentioned good daws they would never mention Acid pro..I use to think do these folks know how easy Acids workflow is..And other daws just kept taking things from Acid.

Ooooh, the hardware is my favorite but I'd love to see some more DAWs. I started on Ableton 7 and that feels like centuries ago, I can't even imagine the older versions. I remember trying the original version of Frooty Loops too just to see what it looked like
Yeah I was confused when I first used fruity loops lol..I think that was in like 1999.
I too would love more DAW and software tools videos.
Cool Edit and Acid Pro were my first everything on the computer.
I feel u.
Same here. They allowed me to learn how to sample from CD and vinyl on Windows XP
Broooo the flashback is insane on this one! I’m 16 again it’s crazy - I had completely forgotten about that.
Lol..I feel u.
I’m still a Reason 3.5 user, I feel you on loving the old DAW’s.
Thanks bro.
Dope as usual! I started beats with Magix and vocals on Acid Pro. Now it seems that they combined forces. I am thinking about going back to this or Audacity. I love the feel of hardware, but the infinite possibilities of software won’t let me leave. I am going back to a simple sampler with software sequencing... Thanks again for all you do! You know your shit Homie!
Thanks fam..Yeah I luv Acid Pro especially for editing audio.
Yo, Acid Pro was my jam back the day. It was actually what got me started in music production back in 2002. I started with version 2.0 that I bought at Best Buy for like $60. Way cheaper than an MPC 2500 or Pro Tools which everyone else was repping at the time. You ain't never lie about that crashing though. That's ultimately why I gave it up. (And getting Maschine) I ended up switching to Presonus Studio One for my main DAW. I tried to give the new version a go last year but at this point the interface just feels too dated.
Same here Sony pro acid 2.0 was included with my computer I bought. Learned a lot but a pain to learn also. Loops were definitely needed. No midi keyboard or ready made acapellas. Lots of chopping 😂
Lol. I feel you..Magix still have some updating to do..If they gave it a designated step sequencer feature like FL studios I think that would help alot.
This channel is Hella dope
I use acid pro since 2005. still only use it to this day. ready to do ableton. but will never give up Acid.
I feel you!
acid pro was the shit. started with hip hop ejay in the late 90s then acid pro came bundled with a printer that my dad bought and a whole new world opened for me. was my main daw for nearly ten years.
I feel you..Its a very intuitive daw..Magix just got to do a lil more to make it official.
This was my jam 2001-2002 the amount of fun I had 🥲
Acid pro was everything.
I know Lil Wayne's engineer was using this at one point when he showed me his mixes. He swore by it too.
Oh wow..Thats pretty dope.
it made making beats waaaay easy
@@prof3ss Yup.
Love acid pro ... started using it when sonic foundry owned it ..
Acid pro 10 is still a little buggy though.
Yeah they still need to fix some things.
@@DyReckProductions they shouldn't have messed with it. For some reason it seems to me that Sony had to get rid of it and passed it to Magix to destroy it and bury it.
@@rogelioarmandocastilloruiz4889 Lmao!!..Right now I think Magix is more focused on Vegas..Kinda like how Sony was.
Ableton is the new and improved acid pro with the warp capabilities
I love these videos bro keep it up
No doubt fam.
Acid pro 4 was my first DAW back then, super easy to use especially for loops
Yup!
i gotta sub this guy he is so on point with the context of what was happening. dangermouse broke the mash up scene with that grey album. full respect to this guy though hes one of the few cats out here with something original and fun to watch.
Thanks bro..I appreciate it.
First program I ever made music on/ in school- shortly after that moved to fruity loops and cool edit / :) this classic shit
No doubt fam.
@8:00 No it was ableton, FL studio and garage band
Used this my whole career but them selling it to Magik killed it for me lol
I fee you..I hope Magix does right by it.
Had a hacked version of acid pro 4.0d. Good memories
I still have Acid Pro 7 but I never really got into it. I've been a Reason cat since 2.5 I did do a remix with Acid Pro
Acid was my first DAW, I was on it when Sonic Foundry released it. I would upload my ASR-X .aif into Sound Forge to convert into .wav and get the sample rate right for Acid. Lol.
ASR-X, ACID, SOUND FORGE and SYNAPSE ORION for vst action, was my first set-up. Ableton pretty much replaced Acid and Orion, but I still us them from time to time.
Nice.
Legend!!!!!
Loved ACID Pro but I don’t miss the days of praying to the DAW gods not to take away all my hard work every time it lagged or froze up.
I was a acid pro user for years till I jumped to serato studio.. never looked back and now that it has stems even more so
Oh ok nice.
Glad you still got content
Lol.Yeah fam.
DEAD LOLOLOLOL. OMG. Please do COOL EDIT PRO
Lol. No doubt.
I started with 2.0 and never left
Nice fam..Got to check that version out.
I remember this was definitely a thing. Dope video
Thanks fam.
I bought Acid pro 2.0 and fucking loved it. It seemed to me though you forgot the Reason thang...Seems like people went to Reason or they went to Ableton. I stayed with Acid cuz I just wasn't serious, I knew Ableton would be handle the latency thang one day(for me it was version 9 that didn't make me want to throw the monitor). In between those years, I was an adamant hardware or die cat, Acid was my version of solitaire, it's how I wasted time at work. Then Ableton worked and I gave it a shot, but relapsed, currently back to hardware of die(shrug).
Lol. I feel you Acid is just so intuitive..Easy to work with.
gotta do one on sonar daw
Lol. I feel u.
I actually liked this DAW back in the day
It was dope!
I love the grey album
Dope album..I liked it a lil better than the black album lol.
This and soundforge and rebirth (with the trick to throw your own samples in rebirth) and reason (2 i think) was what i started with. My music wasn´t incredible, but man was i productive, more than now probably.
Lol..I feel u.
I’ve had ACID since 98 in every incarnation
Wow I forgot I had this daw. I bought it at Best Buy 😆
Lol. Oh ok no doubt.
Been stubbornly using ACID Pro since middle school in 2008. Can Use FL and a couple others well enough but ACID is just so.. easy
Same here bro!..Every time I try another DAW I end up going back to Acid pro..I edit the audio for my videos on Acid pro..My only issue is sometimes it crashes..And if it had a dedicated drum sequencer like redrum or kinda like what FL studio has where it has a good layout just for the sequencer functions.. I would be happy..I know how to use the sequencer of the DAW to make beats.. But its just annoying always going to the top menu to change the grid..But its a great DAW real easy to use.
Classic Software - I startred in Magix - Then went to the hip-hop ejay - then ACID PRO Yo
Nice.
Abelton live came in harrrrd!! Lol
Lol.
Hahahahaha. Fam you are on it!!! Do y'all remember Sonic Foundry products from the 90s?? Man all of them including acid 2.0. Loops loops loops hahahah it was crazy. I thought it was dope (just the loops) I would chop up the sounds and put them through my ASR and then put it back in Acid.....
Sidenote: Danger Mouse was a genius for that but then Kev Brown....the Brown Album. Omg
Last but not least Red Spyda!!!!!!!! Yessir
Napster/Bearshare etc was going crazy
I hate it Sony bought it. It does not even look the same...
Yeah..When Sony got it they didn't really develop it well..and then they left it in limbo for years.
i bought acid pro whatever complete edition in 2004 and i had gone home to visit grandma. she threw away my cd sleeve with the unlock key code on it thinking it was trash... terrible piece of history for me acid pro was the shitin '04 and i had just bought it for $400. this was back in the day before it was easy to get something like that back. left with a $400 table coaster.
Dang..I know you was mad.
@@DyReckProductions i got a few beats out of it. wouldnt have needed that paper if the police didnt destroy my laptop. they dont like it when you aint a snitch. ancient history
@@prof3ss Yeah man..I feel you.
I have a love hate relationship with acid pro it was very difficult you use
I found a copy of 3.0 last year new in box for 5 bucks... so yeah I grabbed it. The cheaper program was called Acid Music. :) Then there was the website we all shared music on, Acid Planet. :) But Magix killed the website... :(
Lol. Yeah I remember Acid Planet.
I came from acid, now using Studio One more plugs of course. Acid shipped with Ni vst, that's it but was good drag and drop daw. Still got version 6 in the box 📦
Oh ok version 6 was good.
Look at u switching it up on us bravo 👏
Lol. Had to do it.
Does anyone remember Acid Planet? They had contests every month.
Yup.
I love this DAW but man Magix FCKD it up big time! I’ve been using this since Sonic Foundry and then Sony, then Magix just leave it in the dirty and create unlimited UPDATES without really making any changes and then the older one ends up not working! I’m also using MAC so I have to purchase Parallel as I’m a MAC user and I wish they created one for Mac. Yup to this day I am using paranoid SAVES brother! MAGIX if you can read THIS, please do something about it! Please please please!
fantastic video and passion for this software!! but your opinion on midi is way off. I write all my music in midi and never have problems. I run hundreds of vst instruments and fx only 1 in a hundred times it crashes which is no more common than other daws. would be nice if could snap or quantize beats to grid lines but obviously, Cubase have a patent on that, which is why I use both. acid is best for audio, arrangement, editing. but seriously dude there is no problem recording midi with acid pro. I am so confident i would even do a live stream start to finish writing a tune and I would have no crashes! have recorded many sessions! also, 32bit actually makes no difference! apart from this, great video!
Oh ok..Which version are you using..Acid has quantize and snap to grid..Ive had problems from version 7 and up with midi..It got alot better on 8 and 10 but still freezes every now and then.
@@DyReckProductions I use sony's final retail release version 7d, before the almost decade of no releases (which is because it was the most solid release out there! no need to upgrade or change it) 6 was a buggy money grab as no different from 5 apart from full of bugs..and 7 is perfect! yes it does have a quantize and even has scale and chord help which cubase has only just added in version 11 lol.. and dubplicating midi tracks has only just been added to fl studio in verison 20 lol.. and although i have no problems with acid pro and use it for 90% of stuff I make still some things I prefer to use cubase for. like being able to route a synth into another one. and it has better snap to grid controls and chord tools in the latest release. so for chordz plugins such as cthulu cubase is actually better but for literally everything else, acid pro has always been on top for decades! and I have a theory all the other daws joined forces on marketing campaigns to push acid out as hardly any mentions of it anywhere! my youtube series will show why sony creative software such as acid pro is the best daw.
@@djcaseuk Good point. You might be right about them trying to push it out..It seemed like after 2014 whenever they mentioned good daws they would never mention Acid pro..I use to think do these folks know how easy Acids workflow is..And other daws just kept taking things from Acid.
Can we get a video about FL Studio?
Lol. I feel u.
ive got the grey album on vinyl Its something else
Yup ..Its dope!
i used acid pro 1.0 up to 4.0 and never knew it was that big.
Alot of folks used Acid pro especially in the early 2000's..There project grid space is just so easy to work with.
I had this mixtape 2003 if im not mistaken
Oh ok.
I still use acid 20 years now
Same here.
Acid Pro was my first DAW.
Nice.
Cakewalk pro audio... what had happened was!.... roland vs multitrack recorders... what had happened was.......
Multitrack Recorders!..I had a korg D-16..Did alot on that.
@@DyReckProductions I'm a korg guy. If I get my hands and a korg 32xd for the right amount of money I would be a happy camper.
@@descargamusicalny Yeah that was a popular piece as far as multitrack recording..The automated sliders on those things were sick!
The Grey album is still on slapity bumpy thump thump boom boom 💯
Lol. Oh ok.
💯💯
Thanks bro!
thank you
Np fam.
they don't support anything whatsoever. but the old cd sample packs are on ebay and the WAVs are fun.
Oh ok.
