Creating an ACID beatmapped file 
ACID beatmapped files can change tempo and pitch to match an ACID project. You must specify the file’s original tempo and root note 
for transposing upon configuration. If you do not specify these values, no tempo or key changes occur. Beatmapped files are typically 
used in ACID software version 3.0 or later for extended vocal tracks or other long audio files that do not loop. 
1.  
Open the Voiceover.pca file and select the entire waveform. 
2.  
From the View menu, choose Metadata, and then choose ACID Properties from the submenu. The ACID Properties window 
appears. 
3.  
Select ACID Beatmapped from the ACID type drop-down list. Complete the information for an ACID beatmapped file: 
•  
Select a value from the Root note for transposing drop-down list so that ACID software can transpose the file to match the 
project key. Select Don’t transpose from this list to keep the key from being changed. 
•  
Specify the file’s original tempo (40-300 bpm) in the Tempo box so that ACID software can stretch the file to match the project 
tempoFor more information, see 
•  
Enter a value in the Downbeat offset (samples) box to indicate the location of the first downbeat. 
4. 
From the File menu, choose Save As and save the file with a descriptive name.
