Hopefully the latest update will help ACID regain the traction it lost, as it is truly great software for beginners or casual music creators.


The way most of us look at creating music has evolved vastly, programs like Ableton Live created a much more hands-on approach to music creation, without the need for an engineering degree to operate the software – partly what made ACID so popular in its hay-day. Sony ACID, as it was at the time, was one of the first DAW’s I ever experimented with, the loop warping functionality and easy layout helped me grasp some of the fundamental aspects of song arrangement, I’m glad to see it making a comeback.

The ACIDized loops and samples are a host of sounds that have been pre-configured and warped to fit into any BPM. Magix have packed over $1000 worth of instruments and effects into the ACID Pro 8 bundle, including their DN-e1 virtual analog synth alongside a host of effects, a sampler and over 9GB of “ACIDized” loops and samples.
