![]() No other app, including Ableton, makes adding loop based percussion as easy. I bought it for my children as a fun toy to play with.īut there was a time when Acid had pro audio applications. Now it's black and dark gray, like every other audio app these days.Ĭlearly, the business model here is to try and trick people into thinking there's something new here when, under the hood, it's Acid 4 with a few new effects and low budget virtual instruments.ĭon't get me wrong. What is their big new innovation? They changed the color of the UI. Now, Magix, a consumer software company that now owns formerly pro software, has bought it. It exactly the same as it was in, at least, ver. You still can't tell it what scale it should be. It still can't pitch shift audio very well. It still can't accurately detect hit points in non-Acidized audio. It hasn't.Īs far as I can see, Acid's looping technology hasn't been improved in more than 10 years. ![]() Every time a new version comes out, I run through a series of tests to see if Acid has improved even slightly at rendering audio in sync. ![]() Acid will never compete with Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, or other DAW apps.īut what's really sad, is now, Acid doesn't really even compete with other loop based editors. So, they decided to steer Acid away from being a monster loop based app to a full fledged DAW. A breakthrough product that could take recorded audio and synchronize it to any tempo and even change it pitch to fit any key (all within reason).īut then people in offices took over the development of Acid and they didn't have a cussing clue what made the program valuable, special even. ![]()
