ACID Pro Reviews

The biggest advantage it has is its precision in mixing

What I like the least is that the voiceover recording quality is very poor

i grew up on ACID, and have been with it through its changes of ownership, years of neglect, and resurgance. previously it was one of the most powerful DAW and audio manipulation platforms in existance, it was doing things protools and cubase could only dream of with regards to timestretching and mapping, and ableton live would not exist without ACIDs innovations. it went throug some rough years but no longer has much of the downsides it used to.

it fell behind durring the years it was bought and sold multiple times, and as a result it has had to play catch-up in the last several years. i do however encounter the occasional bug, and the last few versions havent done much but bundle in VST's that i dont really want.

The familiarity of the workflow is the best. Chopping audio files and mixing them down is probably the best way to use this. Third party VSTs are limited to 10.
Recording can lag if your input isn't strong, overall it's a 3/5.

Very basic. Can't really manipulate audio like Ableton or FL Studio.

Every time I use Acid Pro for audio creating and sometimes editing, I get the feeling as if I am using the Magix Video editing softwares such as Video Pro X or Movie Studio only with more audio editing capabilities and functionalities. The UI and the general layout is very similar. For example, the Explorer tab for quickly accessing the media files for the project in the computer has almost similar layout with Video Pro X. The noticeable difference is that for Acid Pro it is located at the bottom left while for the Video Pro X at the top right. This and other similarities such as we have for the timelines have made my workflow easy in terms of navigating around the software. I know where to get what I need at a glance. Additionally, It is a very capable DAW loaded with lots of loops (Acidized loops) for any genre. It is my to go place when I need some background loops for my videos. Perfectly suited for my workflow!

Unfortunately, the stability of this software has been the greatest setback. I started with Acid Pro 10 and now with 11 and still not stable. It does not matter how many times I reinstall and mostly just keep away from some of its features, It still crashes and sometimes to finish a project in Acid Pro is Magic(X).

I have used Acid Pro to create looped audios for my short training videos for many years. It still the easiest DAW to use and affords quality output. The 64 bit version offers more stability to what would be a crash prone software.

The price is quite out of the range of competing DAWs in the market unless you are lucky to get the discount priced offers.

One of the things I appreciate most about it is its ease of use. It's a great tool for quickly and easily putting together complex tracks, especially for creating loop-based music. Acid Pro also supports a wide range of file formats, making it easy to import and export audio files.

The UI is slightly outdated, and there are a few crashes now and then, but nothing to consider a deal breaker. On the upside, the developers are actively updating the software, so I am sure these issues will be ironed out over time.

The facility with which the various loops mixes

The software has many features and features, I can't say something that I didn't like.

Acid Pro has always had a great workflow and reasonable included effects and instruments. It pioneered loop manipulation and coined the term acidisation for including tempo information with loops so that they can be easily manipulated and included in tracks of different tempos.

The constant crashing and program hangs that occur on an all too frequent basis. Even after expecting a hang and constantly saving, the time lost and more importantly losing the flow while trying to be creative were the app killer for me.

Ease of use. MIDI functions. Easy to mix.

none, all is well. Well thought out software

I use Acid Pro as a hobby not as part of my business. I have used several versions since acid pro 7 owned at that time by Sony. It is easy to add in various instruments and loops that come with the program and record lyrics through a microphone. It is integrated with Melodyne with allows for vocal editing.

What I like least about the program is that each upgrade usually deletes a feature that a previous program had.

Very beginner friendly, easy to make beats and manipulate audio files

Should have better technical support and more online Tutorials

The possibility to mix some samples and create goods beats for multimedia projects

Sometimes the installation is a little bit complex like to install the requirements like visual studio runtimes
