ware prior to installing the Harmonic Edge. Go to

click Add/Remove. Most sound card software will uninstall all files,
drivers, and applications that relate to the sound card, but you might
need to uninstall several different software components from the
Add/Remove list. If you can't find anything that relates to the sound
card in the Add/Remove Program list, check for un-install options in

and make it fit into the tempo of a project. You no longer need to lock your-
self into a tempo and go through great pains to make your loops and sam-
ples fit that tempo. ACID will take all of your audio and make it match any
tempo you choose in real time!

real-life when objects move very close to the listener, such as bees
buzzing around your head or bullets flying past your ear.

Up to 26 different pre-set environments are provided such as underwater
effects, sewer-pipe and so on. This technology is compatible with
Creative Labs EAX 1.0, EAX 2.0 and also I3DL2 as prescribed by IA-SIG.
