The Tools of Acid (comparing Audiorealism, D16, Roland, and Ableton Live)

Let’s have a closer look at the iconic tools used to make acid house and acid techno!

In this video we look at software emulations of the classic 303 and 909 sounds, particularly those by @audiorealism (ALB3 + ADM), @d16group (Phoscyon + Drumazon), @Roland Cloud (TB-303 + TR-909), and @Ableton Live’s native ways of achieving it too.
