Muska and Lipman Release ACID Power!
 December 17, 2001
With more than 1 million copies sold worldwide, Sonic Foundry's ACID has become the #1 music-creating software (Source: PC Data, 1999, 2000)--the most popular and advanced loop-based music creation and remixing tool ever developed. "ACID puts the power of a music and multimedia production studio in the hands of the up-and-coming professional," says Brad Reinke, Sr. Vice President and General Manager of Sonic Foundry.
As an artistic tool, ACID 3.0 makes it easy to create catchy tunes within an hour of installation and at a professional-grade level that results in top quality music. Now, with the introduction of Muska & Lipman Publishing's ACID Power!, readers learn how to not just use ACID, but also how to optimize their own personal artistic skills via extensive, detailed coverage of this revolutionary software.
ACID Power! approaches the software from an artistic angle that guides users beyond the basics to a heightened experience and guru-level procedures. Readers learn to: find and edit loops to use in their creations, mix and master in ACID, record their own audio or MIDI tracks, burn their songs to CD or distribute them over the Web and add music to video.
With clear examples, ACID Power! helps non-technically-inclined users express their creativity. Beginning musicians will find the chapters on introductory music theory invaluable in moving beyond a casual exploration of ACID and into serious music composition. A vast array of insider tips and real-world examples are also included to help readers make sense of many advanced topics.
Author David E. Franks has been a tech writer for almost five years and has authored major and leading books on multimedia software (400+ page manuals). The books have been translated into nine languages for distribution on five continents.
ACID Power! is the ninth book in the Power series Muska & Lipman has produced to guide everyday users of a particular technology or product to become "power users". Other titles include Sound Forge Power! and Home Recording Power!
