ACID Pro
About ACID Pro
ACID Pro is a cloud-based audio editing software designed to help businesses manage and edit various audio samples to streamline music production processes. Using the Beatmapper tool, supervisors can determine tempos and time signatures of external audio files and label them according to requirements.
ACID Pro provides a Chopper tool, which allows organizations to re-order, remix or replay tracks to create customized samples and rhythmic variations of originally imported audio files. Professionals can use ACID Morph Pads to browse and apply various analogue audio effects to the master buss or individual tracks. It also lets users perform multitrack audio recordings and compose songs with multiple plug-in instruments.
ACID Pro enables music producers to organize tracks in custom folders and rearrange audio files using the drag-and-drop interface. The software also helps users edit note positions, velocities, pitch bends or controller information, drum maps, and more.

Life-long ACID lover
Reviewed on 23/08/2023
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

15+ Years Of Using This Software
Reviewed on 07/09/2022
Pros
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.
Cons
Very basic. Can't really manipulate audio like Ableton or FL Studio.

I used ACID Pro a lot to quickly sketch ideas, and working with loops can speed up inspiration when I'm in a time crunch for client work. I outgrew it and moved on to Cubase and Pro Tools, but I often miss the ease of playing with loops in this application.
Pros
ACID was the first loop-based digital audio workstation (DAW) to hit the market back in the 90s. It was so popular that loop libraries were expected to be released in the "ACID-ized" format. And it was popular for a reason: you could open ACID and get working right away. A very straightforward interface helps facilitate easy songwriting and mixing, and loops simply work in ACID, unlike older products like Pro Tools. It's regularly on sale for less than $100, so it's worth a look for people who do mostly loop-based production and find Ableton Live intimidating.
Cons
ACID can feel a little limited, especially if you want to do more complex MIDI/softsynth composing.

I started using Acid Music back in the 90s as a looper, when it was produced by Sonic Foundry, and was astonished to discover that it was a full-blown multi-track recording interface. Once I learned enough about the technicalities of recording, Acid enabled me to put my newfound knowledge of recording, gain-staging, and mixing into practice.
Pros
This is hands-down the easiest DAW to use that - easy to understand menus and drop-downs, as well as obvious toolbars. Almost all features are easily accessed and intuitive to use. it's not overly cluttered with specialized functions that the average musician will never use.
Cons
I feel like trying to use virtual instruments with this interface is a little more challenging than it is with certain other DAWs that I own.
