If you like the feel or rhythm of a loop, you can extract its groove using ACID Pro's Groove Cloning feature. ACID analyzes the groove in a clip's audio and extracts it, so you can apply it to your own loops and MIDI files.

ACID Pro supports Mackie Control Universal and Frontier Design TranzPort MIDI controllers. You can use one Mackie Control Universal (with up to four Mackie Control Universal Extenders), one Frontier TranzPort, and up to five generic control surfaces with ACID. Control surfaces can be custom mapped and help you stay organized by knowing which channels are dedicated to external control.

ACID Pro offers many creative tools for today's producer. It's easy to divide your project into logical sections and then arrange them on the timeline. Tracks can be organized by placing them into Track Folders. Then, use cluster editing to drag, pitch-shift, cut, copy, and paste whole sections of an arrangement, helping you to easily create complete tunes.

Beatmapper offers a fast process to remix music in ACID Pro. It identifies the tempo and time signature information in external audio files—including MP3s and complete songs—and allows you to label and edit the file with that information. You can then create beatmapped songs, and when other clips are added, they all lock to the tempo of the imported file allowing quick and easy remixing. Beatmapped audio files can also have their tempos and pitches edited for maximum flexibility.

ACID Pro features zplane élastiquePro technology to ensure maximum sound quality and flexibility when pitch- and time-shifting clips. It ensures real-time artifact-free time-stretching and pitch-shifting beatmapped tracks.

• Inline Editing allows you alter MIDI data directly in ACID's timeline within traditional piano-roll and drum-grid interfaces. You can edit note positions, velocities, pitch bends, and controller information, all on the main multitrack interface,  so there's no need to open another edit window.
• Drum Grid Mode is ACID Pro's easy and intuitive way of editing beats directly on the software's timeline. The grid style edit window shows all the drum parts and you can easily move, add or delete beats.
• MIDI Track Freeze allows you to turn MIDI tracks that are being triggered by software instruments into audio. Freezing a track like this means less instruments need to be running in real time so it conserves valuable CPU processing power.
• MIDI Filtering and Processing of multiple events or tracks of MIDI data can also be done directly on the ACID Pro 9 timeline. You can use quantization and global editing of velocity values, note event duration, and more.
• With MIDI Track Envelopes and Keyframes, ACID Pro 9 utilizes envelope and keyframe automation features. All MIDI continuous controller data used to edit parameters like pitch, modulation, and expression—or indeed the controls of a soft synth—can be modified with smooth transitions. You can also use envelopes and keyframes on individual clips, or make larger project-wide changes.
• Using Drum and Patch Map Editors within ACID Pro, you can efficiently create and edit drum maps. This means that you can use templates to label patch and drum names for hardware or software-based MIDI synthesizers and drum machines. Templates can be easily saved and recalled.
• The VST2/VST3 Engine with 32-bit Bridge in both the updated VST2/VST3 engine, you can run the latest plug-ins in ACID Pro and even bring your favorite older plug-ins into its sleek 64-bit ACID environment.

ACID Pro allows you to choose your own groove from many genres. You can completely change the feel of your loops and MIDI files, or simply add a more human or soulful feel to your music. Simply choose your groove and apply it to loops or entire tracks.

Give your music a completely new feel with ACID Pro's Groove Mapping and Groove Cloning quantization technology. You can apply preset grooves to a clip or track to give it a fresh sound, or extract the groove from one track and apply it to another. You can even create your own custom grooves from scratch, or edit existing ones for total groove control.

ACID Pro uses envelopes to help you automate global parameters or modify pitch, modulation, expression or other MIDI data within a track. Envelopes can also be used to automate the controls on a plug-in instrument or create Tempo Curves for smooth tempo variations across a project. All envelopes can be drawn using a mouse or external control surface and then tidied up with keyframes or envelope attenuators that help smooth them out. You can also use keyframes to help automate your 5.1 mixes on the timeline, and use envelopes and keyframes to implement MIDI continuous controller (CC) data and program changes.

ReWire technology allows compatible music packages to work with one another, so you can route audio and MIDI data between them. ACID Pro works as both a ReWire host and a device, so you can set it up with other ReWire applications such as Sonar, Reason, Cubase, Live, or Pro Tools. You could then use Reason, for example, as a virtual instrument routed into ACID Pro, or route ACID Pro's output directly into Pro Tools.

ACID Pro features powerful encoding functionality, so you can save your songs in all the popular streaming formats used on the web and by your favorite portable players. Supported formats include MP3, WMA, WMV, AAC, FLAC, and more.

ACID Pro's Plug-In Manager gives you complete control over all your audio plug-ins. You can quickly add effects to a track bus, an effects chain, or soft synth bus. You can also easily rename and organize plug-ins, creating a customized plug-in environment that helps your workflow.

ACID Pro software has integrated track-at-once and disc-at-once CD burning, so you can burn audio CDs directly from the timeline at any point in the production process.

The essentialFX Suite is a collection of 11 first-class plug-in effects, suitable for all studio applications. Each of the effects uses high-quality algorithms for a great sound and highly efficient operation. Clear controls for easy operation combined with low resource consumption and high-quality output make it the perfect suite of studio tools.

CoreFX Delay and Reverb Effects allow you to create echoes with the Delay. The simple delay effect is based on analog circuits and produces time-delayed copies of the original input signal to create the echo effect.

CoreFX Chorus gives you a fuller sound. Chorus produces a time-delayed duplicate of the audio signal with a slight pitch difference. A perceptible doubling and beating effect is created.

CoreFX Flanger creates a dynamic, colder sound. By superimposing the original signal and its time-delayed copies, sweeping effects are created for the classic wandering sound.

Q: 4. Is it a glass trackpad?

A: Hello Connor! The Folio Touch trackpad is not made of glass no. It's a standard Multi-touch trackpad that glides very smoothly.

Q: 5. What is the A/D & D/A on this Unit? Also, what is the max Mic Pre Gain? Specs look confusing...seems to be +50db which is not enough for a SM7b (needs 60db) without a Cloudlifter

A: Tascam does not disclose which converters they are using. And yes, you will need to use a cloudlifter when using an SM7B.

Q: 6. Is there a good Pelican or SKB case that can fit this mixer?

A: We do not offer an SKB case or Pelican case for direct compatibility with the Tascam Model 12 at this time.

Q: 7. Are there ICC profiles for this product?

A: No, there are no ICC profiles from Pictorico for the Pictorico Pro Hi-Gloss White Film for Inkjet Printing (8.5 x 11", Letter).

Q: 8. Does the Model 12 have USB delay for syncing to video like the Mixcast does?

A: Yes, firmware version 1.20 adds dual Audio Delay for both the USB and Main outputs of the Tascam Model 12 Integrated Production Suite Mixer/Recorder/USB Interface.

Q: 9. Does this (and the other Models) record post fader for individual tracks to the SD card? The manual mentions a "post record switch" and "When this switch is on, signals from after the MAIN fader are recorded to the SD card." That's all the info in the manual about this feature. I need to know if this switch allows recording of each channel post fader to the SD card.

A: The Tascam Model 12 Integrated Production Suite Mixer/Recorder/USB Interface appears to standardly record "pre-fader" signals to the SD card. This indicates that the signal at the input source is being recorded before it is affected further down the signal chain by EQ and individual fader level settings. There are ways to change this, such as the "POST REC Switch" you mention, which would indicate a post-fader recording of each channels "mix" level signal. The manual also mentions the ability to select the positions that recording signals are sent from each channel, including the ability to send Pre or Post Compression and Post EQ.

Q: 10. Would I need mic activator for Shure am 58 or Shure sm7b?

A: You will need a cloud lifter for the SM7B
