So you've got some great scenes on tape and the only thing that
could make them better would be some music.

The bad news is of course is that the cost of buying the song
you really want is probably way out of reach for the indie
production. The good news is that for the price of talking to a
decent attorney to get the price of the music that you want, you
can buy the software that will enable you to create the music
that you need.

The software I'm talking about is Acid 4.0. It enables you to
easily drag and drop different music loops together to create
royalty free tunes you can use in anything you'd like.

The software is really simple to start using right out of the
box, all the files you need are located in the bottom portion of
the screen and the tracks you are working with are on the top.
You can preview the loops on the bottom of the screen before you
drag them to the top to start mixing. Once you have a few loops
mixed on the top of the screen you can play them while you
sample the loops on file at the bottom of the screen so you can
preview what they would sound like together.

You can set the beat of the song to just about any speed you'd
like, you can go from a slow, mellow tune that sounds like it
belongs in a family sedan commercial to romantic moments or you
can cut loose with a mad techno beat for fights and car chases
or club scenes. The only limit to what you can create with this
software is your imagination.

There is also a seemingly endless list of plug-ins and effect
that you can use to customize the loops in an infinite number of
ways. From adding echos to distortions you can really engineer
the sounds to the style your looking to achieve. The software
also supports surround sound editing for video so I'm really
only doing the software some basic justice here.

The company offers a variety of additional loop libraries plus a
large amount from other vendors which can all be mixed and
matched to create the sound your looking for. There are loops
from many different styles. Blues, Hip Hop, Techno, Jazz, Drums
the list is quite comprehensive.

If you're already recording music into your computer on your own
with a keyboard or what have you, it can also be dropped in
there along with just about any other sound you can get into
your computer. For example I've taken background sounds that
I've recorded onto mini disc like running water and the sounds
of people dining at a local eatery and mixed it with music that
I've created with Acid 4.0. There's a ton of benefits in there
for the indie movie maker and musician alike.
