you can just use your soundcard or a digital extraction program to grab
samples from your CD-ROM player to create .WAV's..these can be imported into
Acid without a problem....
btw, i did a track in Acid 2 entirely that will be released on 12"...so i
guess don't blame the tools ;)

There really isn't much use for a (music) keyboard with Acid2 (Acid 3 ships
now, I believe.)
As for making your own samples, you have to get a sampler (Acid is not one.)
You can get a hardware sampler, like the Kurzweil K2000, the Akai S-series,
etc., but if you think you spend alot of money on Acid, you'll pass out at
the price of most hardware samplers
All in all, Acid is a fun program, but don't expect to be able to do serious
original music production with it. It's really ideal doing music beds for
industrials and what not, as you can come up with decent sounding,
copyright-free loops in about 3 minutes.

Subject: anyone know how to use Acid PRO 2.0?
I recently got this program acid pro 2.0, I just wanted to start making
some music using this program with my keyboard (Yamaha psr-540). Does
anyone know how to use this thing and know what other programs and hardware
I need to make music?
I played piano for 8 years and playing piano is alright, but I have no
idea how to use the features in this program and don't know how to use my
keyboard (I spent a lot of money and it is embarrassing not having a clue).
Also I got tons of CDs I could sample, but I don't know how to store them
into my computer.
ANY IDEAS?
