Danny Tate

Songwriter, composer, musician, recording artist – Danny Tate's credentials cover all aspects of the music business. He's written hits for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tim McGraw, Jeff Healey, Rick Springfield, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and many others. His songs have appeared in "How to Make an American Quilt," "3000 Miles to Graceland," "Boys Don't Cry," and numerous other films. You can hear his music cues daily on "Entertainment Tonight," "Extra," "Celebrity Justice," "As the World Turns," and "Guiding Light." Danny uses ACID to span genres and deliver the right music every time.

"I tell people ACID is like 'throwing paint on the wall and coming up with art.' It's so easy and flexible," Danny writes. "Other products have tried to emulate it but are still far behind. The way multiple loops converge seamlessly to create one individual voice is amazing.

"Being able to change tempo is vital for TV work. With ACID, all I do is move the tempo bar and viola! there it is. It is absolutely hands-down the most user-friendly software in existence."

Danny also relies on Loops for ACID to extend his sound. "They help keep my sounds fresh and my ideas new," he continues. "When I'm recording a song I often start my arrangement using ACID and loops. They help create sonic images and rhythmic feels that I would not have come up with on my own. And they're all license-free; perfect for a busy composer and songwriter. No hassles! Fantastic!"
