Yes I understand that FLStudio and Reason originate from Pattern Based sequencers. So a different sort of sequencer. However ACID vs CAKEWALK. Both handle Audio ( samples etc ) and Midi tracks. Both use all VSTs etc. Both time stretch. https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/new-time-stretching-cakewalk-bandlab Just wondering .. what has ACID got that Cakewalk does not ..

Get them while they going I would say .. just enrolled in most of them because most of interest going forward. UDEMY enrolled courses are lifetime .. so enroll now, use when ever you like into the future!

Why would one want ACID if you already use Cakewalk? Same Q I suppose if you already have FLStudio or Reason??

OK, thanks guys. Essentially I think NO is the answer. The MATRIX view I dont think will work either? In the case of the image shown in OP its one continuous MIDI note ( not sample ) for 4 bars playing an evolving ambient type synth sound. It starts quieter and then builds in bar 2 and 3 then fades in bar 4. By using the standard loop thing it plays in with bar 1 but then loops the evolved "full" sound in bar 2 and 3 continuously which is the exact "sound" I want looped for the whole ambient piece as an underlying soundscape. Think of it this way, the sound builds UP in bar 1, then plays full volume in bar 2 and 3 before fading in bar 4. I tried to freeze it, split it at start of bar 2 end of bar 3 and then drag drop that middle part to the MATRIX. Yes Matrix continuous looped it but when it hit end of loop you get that "glitch" as it ends coming back around to start. By looping the 2nd and 3rd bar of the one midi note w/o freeze you get a seamless continuous play. So hope that explains it a bit more ..

Hi Guys, I have a single track in a project with a background drone going continuously. However the "sweet spot" for the drone note is the centre two bars of a four bar midi note. Track plays from start, hits the loop start at bar 2 and end of loop at start of bar 4, goes back to start of loop at bar 2 and around and around. This so you get the initial start of the drone but the continuous drone is the loop part: So is it possible to loop one track ONLY like this within a multitrack project, leaving all other tracks to play from start to end of project/song without looping?

Anybody else having issues with Aerkord and/or Abstrung .. Load times particularly? I did all the batch save, save as and exclusion in Windows AV. Double click NKI and it goes to spinning cursor for about a minute. Then it loads its window showing a progess bar for another 30 seconds and finally the U/I for both. All my other Kontakt instruments load way faster than this, some larger than these. Any ideas?

When ye mention RESAVING the patches? Do ye mean batch resave or literally SAVE AS via the file menu?
