ABSTRACT
Looping is what ACID is all about. In 1998 ACID took the industry by storm when it first introduced the concept of building music from loops. Loops are small—just a few bars of instruments recorded so that they loop seamlessly from measure to measure. After all, most music is a collection of repetitive themes. Many pop songs can be dissected into intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and ending with variations on the number of times a verse repeats before a chorus or the number of verse and chorus combinations before a bridge. The key word is “repeats.”
