Creating an ACID 2.0 disk-based file

ACID 2.0 disk-based files can stretch to comply with an ACID project’s tempo, but require that you specify the file’s original tempo upon configuration. If the original tempo is not specified in the Edit ACID Properties dialog, no stretching occurs.

While ACID 2.0 disk-based files can change tempo, they cannot change pitch. Disk-based files are typically used in ACID 2.0 for extended vocal tracks or other long audio files that do not loop.
