Audio Loops:

Audio Loops are precisely edited recordings of mixed and processed music which are designed to be played as repeated loops. They will repeat perfectly, over and over, without any glitches or popping sounds.

Many audio loops are designed as "construction sets," so they can be put together in any combination you wish. We carefully work out the best type of sounds, riffs, and repeated patterns that will fit together as a common theme and work over a wide range of material. They can be used alone, or in combination with other MIDI tracks or live recorded instruments and vocals.

Jayzen Audio Loops are compatible with all audio sequencers and software samplers. And because most Jayzen audio loops are "ACIDized,"  in the many sequencers that support the ACID format, they will automatically follow the tempo and key of your host project!

Many programs support the ACID format...

The ACID format:

We have chosen the ACID format because of its wide base of support in most current audio software. In addition to the line of ACID software that is available, there are many other applications which support this format.

ACIDized wav audio loops will work in most Cakewalk music software such as Sonar (groove clips), Guitar Tracks, Project 5, etc. They also work in Cubase (audio warp), Logic Audio, Reason, Ableton Live, Garageband, FL Studio, Music Maker, Mixcraft... check your manual for details to see if it will work with ACID Loops - most likely it will.

The ACID format has special codes programmed into each loop which allow your software to automatically synchronize it to the tempo of your music.

In addition, you can control the pitch of the loops independent of how it was originally recorded. This gives you the ability to use a single loop in many different ways, in any project, no matter what key it is written in!

ACID currently has a completely free version of their Acid program called 'Acid Express.' It can be downloaded from their website. (The link is on our Audio & Loops Links page.)

Conclusions/Summary

Jayzen ACIDized audio loops are widely compatible with today's music software and give you the ability to simply drop new sounds, drum tracks, percussion instruments, bass lines, etc. into your existing project and have them automatically play back at the correct tempo and key for your music and sound productions.
