The nice thing about Hip Hop and Rap is that its a pretty open area of music to explore. The only problem is that most of the top vocalists use a lot of the same producers, so most of the top players have beats that sound alike.
Well…that’s really a good thing because it means someone [...]

Many people have heard of Audio Mastering. It is accepted as part of the process of making a Music Album. However most probably have no idea what mastering actually is. In this article I am going to explain what it is, and why its done.
When you play a CD, the reason each track sounds the [...]

In this article I’m going to go into hardware; or analog, versus acid music studio. Even today there is a tendency towards a preference of hardware or analog equipment over computers. Some people will say the use of the computer is not really making music. This is usually from people that have [...]

The first step to making your own home music studio is figuring out what you need. The second is looking to see what you already have. The third is settling on a budget to get what you don’t have. The last is settling on a budget to get the things you want.
In this post I [...]

In no Particular Order.
1. Acid Music Studio: My Program Of choice and the best one I have used. Interface is smooth and user friendly. Makes it easy to work with my loops, and third party loops. Acidized loops have Pitch and BPM information directly in them, allowing for incredible precision. I honestly feel its the [...]

If you’ve just visited this Site and are wondering why you would even want to try making music at home, this article is for you. Its simple really. Making music of your own, even if you are just doing it as a hobby, can be a very rewarding past time. I enjoy sitting down [...]

Ok, ive gone over Reverb in the last videos but i only showed you how it works. Now im going to tell you what it does for your music.
When you sing in the bathroom, or any other small space it tends to sound good. It sounds good even if youre a terrible singer anywhere else. [...]

Reverb is your most important audio effect. Its what you hear in the shower that makes your singing sound so very nice. The vibrations or reverberations of your voice hitting the walls and bouncing everywhere gives much more depth and warmth to your voice.
It does the same for any other track played through it. Most [...]

The first thing I’ll say about loops is that they can take up a lot of space. I have over 8 GB in my collection and its limited. By limited I mean not very large. I have perhaps two dozen loop libraries on the computer right now. This may seem like [...]

OK listen to the part 4 audio first.
Then Watch the last video. This one is about wrapping up a project.
Ok you’ve got your song done. Now What? Heres a video all about how you finish things up for a track. Acid Music Studio Makes it easy to render (code a track into a file format [...]

Ok last time we added in some stuff to make the track sound less repetitive. Now we are really going to add some color to the track. By using Audio FX you can make or break any track, or make one song into many very different songs. Its all in how you use them. From [...]

Ok on the last video we made the track lift and separate. Using pan and volume to break up the “messiness” of the track. Start by listening to the Audio rendering for the first track. You should be able to hear how that little bit of tweaking helped.

Notice how the [...]

These are the absolute basics of using Acid Music Studio. Bringing up the program, selecting loops, pasting loops, and other very bare basics of the software. These instructions should help you get started pretty smoothly. If not the forum is available for questions.

Note: Buying Loops involves a license to use them for YOUR purposes. A [...]

Welcome to AcidHedz.com
My First program for making my own music, was Acid Music Studio, and I have yet to find fault in the program for what it can do, at the price it costs.
Ive been using the program for a few years and have learned a lot of tricks and fun ways to get results.
Acid [...]

With early Music Players you only got Mono sound. That is sound from one speaker. With The invention of stereo, music and movie soundtracks became much more rich and dynamic. With Surround Sound both became lifelike.
The reason for this is simple. When you hear something, you hear it in a full radius around you, not [...]

There is an art and science to getting the most mileage out of even bad equipment. I have found ways to MacGuyver together a working home studio with bargain equipment, and cheap substitutes.
All you really need is a computer, some production software, and some loops.
I use Acid Music Studio. You can pick up a copy [...]

The Home Studio
Whatever your reasons for wanting a home studio chances are you are feeling it is out of reach. In today’s world computers this is completely untrue. In the old days; and some would say better days, you needed lots of hardware analog equipment. Multi track tape recorders, hardware effects machines, a mixer board, [...]

I have heard that everyone wants to be President, A Music Star or a A movie Star when they grow up, and secretly even movies stars and the president want to be Music Stars. I don’t know if that’s true, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
Most people have music in their souls, aside [...]

Another wild and warped techno video. Song was created in Acid Music Studio. I used public domain recordings of Charlie Manson and created a backing track for his rambling. I then warped his voice in a variety of way to make it more bizarre. I used clips of odd ball stuff I recorded, then warped [...]

Whether exchanging lyrics to better song or editing loops you are producing.  Sometimes it seems the producers are almost spooky, faceless names on an album.  Those strange names that sit behind the studio desk and make magic happen.  They can make a band bigger, give them a new sound that they needed, and take you [...]

When You buy Acid Music Studio you should get free loops with it.
First thing you do is either get all the loops off the discs that came with the program into a folder in my documents.
Or
if you dont want to store them on your harddrive you will have to use them off their disc, any [...]
