ACID Music Studio 10 - Steam Powered

The 3,000 loops are apparently available once you have registered the software. When you try to access them, you are told this and the message states that you need to go to the Help menu to register. Unfortunately, there isn't an option to Register under the Help menu - or anywhere in the application that I could find. I've requested a refund...

It sucked. It was difficult to upload different media files, and the interface is ancient. It isn't even cheap.

SO many bugs! I once used an older version of this software while in college, and I remembered it being so much better than this! I've had nothing but problems with this software! -My MIDI tracks randomly change instruments. -I get skips in my renders, regardless of file type. -The software detects my keyboard (M-Audio Mini Keystation 32), but doesn't receive input from it, or will receive input for a while then suddenly stop. -I get an error when trying to open the software by double-clicking an existing .acd file from Windows I've tried verifying all the files through STEAM, even uninstalling/reinstalling, all the above continues to happen. To make matters worse, I've had trouble finding any kind of online help as well. This software is NOT worth the money! Should've just saved up for Sonar X3.

Acid has always been my go-to app for music creation. It's easy to manipulate and mix sound files of any type, and they blend seamlessly into your project. I've used it to create original music, remixes, radio show-style vignettes with dialogue and sound effects, and I even use it to produce my full-length podcast! Originally I doled out MUCH more money for Acid Pro 7 and it was worth every penny. Version 10 at this price is an absolute no-brainer. I wouldn't consider anything else.

Visual C++ Runtime Error ******* Read my next comment, for how I solved the problem ******* I have installed it on my Windows 10 Pro 64bit machine, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, ASUS GeForce GTX670 GPU, UR44 Sound. When I double click Music Studio icon, every time it stops at "initializing DirectX plug in" and gives pop up error message saying: ------------- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program:...MusicStudio100\ACID Music Studio 10.0\musicstudio100.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. -------------- I cannot even start the ACID!!

First time First program make music of mine long ago, thanks to the lower prices.

ACID Music Studio 10 is definitely not Acid Pro 7. There's no groove. However, if you play an instrument or sing, you've got this amazing quick retake system with keyboard shortcuts that'll make you happy. [url=http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/acidpro/compare]Sony's comparison page.[/url] Sure the UI is out of date, and you need a real computer as it was never written for big button touch screen, but it is ACID. ACID pro is infinitely better, but this one will run on Windows later than Windows 7 and it will run on Windows 7 with all updates.

It's sad that MAGIX has ruined such a good software. Incredibly invasive. Their products will start on their own and riddle your screen with pop up ads. Deleting for good. Wish I could get my money back for this.

With the right (free) VST effect plugins, this software is in my opinion one of the best out there for creating computer-based mixtapes/sets, rivalling Ableton Live in my opinion for it's timestretching 'mechanism' - the Beatmapper. It also uses the same timestretching algorithm as Ableton - zplane Elastiqué Pro v2 (see http://www.zplane.de/index.php?page=description-elastique.) Yes, the interface seems barely touched since it was written by Sonic Foundry in 1998 - but ultimately its about the sound... Don't get me wrong - the interface is completely useable, just old. If you can *hear* past this, and make use of it's (32-bit) VST plugin functionality, you have a ridiculously affordable piece of music software to make mixsets and beyond...

Bye Sony, Hello MAGIX! Applications are working as expected and how I know them... and even more stable than ever before. Just had the best support experience ever on Steam... I hope MAGIX can keep this up, as this shows great commitment. Way better than Sony ever did... I have always enjoyed using the Sonic Foundry apps, like SoundForge and Acid. I really had high hopes when Sony started with the Media Software divison, but this turned out to be disappointing and slow to develop. Some nice effects were added, but it just took long and each version was a minor update. Now Magix took over, and they do put effort into I see. Acid is a loop-based sequencer. This means there is are tracks on which you can paint the samples in a way they are loop to make the beats. It wasn't the first, but surely one of the best tools for this. Although the UI hasn't changed much, I actually think this is one of it's strengths. The tool is easy to understand and has a simplistic layout. Although I have a...
