What programs are acid loops compatible with, and whats the difference between the 16 bit files and the 24 bit files?
Acid loops are standard wav files, with a little extra information included in them which makes them acid loops. This “acidizing” makes them more useful when you use them in loop oriented programs. As wave files, they are “compatible” with almost every audio program and sampler made. Check with your program’s documentation to see if it reads wav files if you’re unsure. Playin’ Music’s acid loops are available in either 16 bit or 24 bit resolutions and are all 44,100 khz. The 16 bit files are the most commonly used files. The 24 bit files are a higher resolution and therefore a slightly better sounding file. It’s been debated whether the human ear can hear the difference. High quality digital equipment and very trained ears can. Not every program that can read wav files can read 24 bit wav files, and the 24 bit files take up 50% more memory and 50% more space on your disc or drive. The 24 bit files are the standard bit rate for movie or TV projects and are better if you are going to hav
