Acid Loops
Appearance
Acid Loops is a technology used with music editing software from Sonic Foundry. Created in 1998, it refers to the repetition and transposition of sound clips to form a song.
Similar technology was added to Cakewalk's Sonar (calling it "Groove Clips") and Cubase (calling it Audio Warp). Although the phrase "groove clips" technically is only associated with Sonic Foundry, some people use the term to refer to the technique even when used with other software packages.
A website for budding musicians using Acid technology was set up, named ACIDOPlanet. Notable musicians on ACIDPlanet include the Nerds of Attitude, and experimential electronica group.
