RealTracks can pick from one of three -- or four -- "base" recordings that are in different keys, usually a half step apart, for the stretch.

In Acid, there is only one wav file in whatever key it is in, but the Acid algorithm has the ability to pitch shift that one file to any key without digital artifacts showing up.

coming back to Real Tracks:
advantages of "acidizing" a passage you just played yourself:

1) it's already in the right key so no transposition artifacts should occur
2) you can play your snippet to the metronome, so no time stretching should be required
3) since you play it, it can be exactly what you want

the software would basically just have to manage the task of copying/pasting repetitions
of the snippet while keeping the size of the snippet such that it doesn't go out of time

from a programming perspective, this should be the easy stuff...as one requestor said
"the low hanging fruit" that yields high user benefits with minimal development


something like this wouldn't just be bells and whistles.. this would be a "new feature"

probably provided with a minimal change to the existing engine
