Using Clips

In previous versions of Acid, each track in your project corresponded to a single media file. If you're comfortable with the track-equals-media model, this version of Acid can behave in much the same way: when you add media to your project, a new track is created for the media file. When you use the Draw and Paint tools, you create events using the track's media.

However, if you want to use multiple media files on each track, you can now add those files as clips. For example, if you want to use a single track for all the guitar loops in your project, you can add a single guitar track and add each guitar loop as a separate clip. When a track has multiple clips, the Draw and Paint tools create events using the active clip.
