Starting Projects

Now that you have a basic understanding of the interface and controls found in the software, you are ready to begin

creating an ACID® Music Studio™ project.

Getting started

Double-clicking the ACID Music Studio icon on the desktop starts the software.

You can immediately begin building your ACID project using the application’s default project properties. However,

you may prefer to customize the project properties prior to beginning the project.

Setting project properties

ACID Music Studio software allows you to configure project properties and add summary information prior to

beginning a project. Choosing New from the File menu displays the New Project dialog. This dialog contains two

tabs: Summary and Audio. Selecting the Start all new projects with these settings check box configures the

software to use the parameters and information in both tabs as defaults when starting all subsequent projects.

Note:

You can edit project audio properties and summary information at any time. Choose Properties from the File

menu to display the Project Properties dialog, which contains the identical tabs and parameters as the New Project

dialog.

Using the Summary tab

This tab allows you to enter information about the project. These boxes can be left blank or if information exists, you

can change it at any time.
