Acid Loops is a technology used with the music making software originally from Sonic Foundry called Acid. Created in 1998, it refers to the repetition, and transposition of sound clips, to form a song. The Acid Pro program is now owned and distributed by Sony, and is on version 5. Sony also now sells a line of Acidized loop sample cds to be used with Acid, as do many third party companies, such as, Peace Love Productions, Big Fish, Perimeter Sound Arts, and Power FX.
Similar technology was added to Cakewalk's Sonar (calling it "Groove Clips") and Cubase (calling it Audio Warp). Although the phrase "groove clips" technically is only associated with Sonic Foundry, some people use the term to refer to the technique even when used with other software packages.
Acidized loops contain tempo and key information, so that Acid can properly time stretch them when pitch shifted.
A website for budding musicians using Acid technology was set up, named ACID Planet.
