ACID Pro Reviews & Product Details

Familiarity, ease of user interface. When I first started using it, I solely mixed and cut up my own samples. Now I use it is a full DAW to compose and produce, with VST and stereo recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some bugs have been persistent in multiple versions. VST explorer can become overwhelming if you aren't careful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acid Pro is my DAW.

It offers lots of versatility within the software, example beat chopper, or how easy to insert soft synth VST.

Auto save and direct connection to internet library make it the most complete software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Haven’t found any downsides to Acid Pro, interface could be bit more glitzy if you like that. Possibly community login to connect with other artists directly. or sync with selected playlists or music library’s . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whenever I need to create a mix of sounds for a video that is going to be seen by the whole company or a large group this is my main tool for the job since it is really intuitive so I can try many prerecorded beats and mix them together and when I need direct feedback I can ask for advice and ask which combination sounds better and fits the theme of the video.

It makes a lot of sense and it is intuitive but when you need to edit something that sounds just right it sometimes it doesn't cut it so I first draft the sound in acid and then do a pass in Audition Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a simple interface, timeline, and lots of different helpful panels to get you off to a running start. The program is intuitive enough for beginners but also has enough depth for a more seasoned professional to get the results they desire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It should support more different types of file import. It can be a pain when trying to import sounds only to find they are not supported by the program and then you have to convert them in something else before you can use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Acid since 2002. Love the ease in which I could import and chop mP3 and WAV files on previous versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inability to import mp3 or WAV files on PC. Lack of assistance from technical support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the past two decades, Acid Pro has proven to me that it is the single best music production software out there. Sure, it's not the best known name in the field, but nevertheless it's solid, dependable, very easy to use, very versatile and allows you to focus on the music.

Unfortunately, Acid hasn't received to much support since version 7, but was recently redone from ground up by Magix as ACID 9. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Makes it really easy to combine several audio tracks with the exact volume needed, insert audio tracks, edit with as much granularity as needed.

It's really easy to add audio effects in the right moments and turn down the volume if for any reason the audio of the recorded video is unexpectedly high or has an unpleasant sound and instead add a pause, a transition or if it's a high-value part replace it with a compatible sound or recreate it to have a better experience.

The interface is a little bit ugly, the RAM usage is a little on the high side Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Typically, slicing a sample produces explicit artifacts, such as clicks, etc., but in acid prо this is automatically eliminated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Internal resources were not particularly impressive, especially the implementation of the equalization line (so primitive and rude in execution). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is software from a well known firm, Magix. Use it to produce music for your site or program with endless possibilities. A lot of instruments are waiting to be used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve, to make it work you need some time to get used to the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acid itself has been around for a very long time which means it is not only very stable but it's also had plenty of time to tweek and perfect numerous features. As far as DAWs go there isn't that steep of a learning curve. If you're new to sound editing/production it's pretty easy to jump right in. It also a features a myriad of built in services and compatible with plenty of third party plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can take some getting used to, especially if you're making the jump from some of the other more intuitive DAWs. That's definitely not a deal breaker for me, but it does throw off some on the first few uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
