#SONY ACID PRO HELP SOFTWARE#
And thanks to its very straightforward user interface, even non‑musicians can put together plausible results given a suitable collection of pre‑recorded loops - although whether that's good thing is another matter! Other key features include an excellent audio groove quantise function, a range of audio effects, a video window for music‑to‑picture work and the ability to act as a Rewire host or client.Īs with most software updates, Acid Pro 7 offers a number of headline additions and numerous smaller refinements. This capability is now built into most mainstream DAWs, but Acid is pretty much where it started, and it is fair to say that the quality of this real‑time process in Acid is about as good as it gets. In essence, Acid Pro's long‑standing focus has been its ability to provide real‑time pitch‑shifting and tempo‑matching of audio loops.
#SONY ACID PRO HELP PRO#
Those new to Acid Pro might like to look through the earlier SOS reviews (see the April 2005 and July 2006 issues) for some background, as all the previous functionality is retained in the new version. So is Acid Pro now a viable alternative to products such as Cubase or Sonar for PC‑based musicians? Version 7 of Acid Pro is now with us and, again, the new features suggest that Sony are still keen to position Acid as a fully fledged DAW. Acid Pro has always offered a powerful and creative platform for loop‑based music creation, and with versions 5 and 6, Sony expanded its features for audio and MIDI recording. If you make extensive use of loops in your music, and you work on a PC, the odds are that you will have tried Acid at some point. The correct fix for this would be to have the DLL that is allowing PCA formatted songs to open up in Acid Pro 8/9 as it is doing currently in Acid Music Studio 10 (not sure about 11 as I do not have it).Acid Pro has always offered a fabulous environment for loop‑based music creation, but version 7 sees it making a bid for fully fledged DAW status. its is NOT very "PRO" when it crashes for a format that the software originally created but can not support anymore. Opening these files in newer software like SoundForge 12.0 does NOT work and Acid Pro 8.0 completely CRASHES! (especially when I just played them in AMS 10 and they crash when playing in Acid Pro.
Some of these songs online are real gems and ONLY Acid Music Studio 10.0 opens and reads them. Sony released the PCA format back in 2001 and many older Acid songs have these embedded in their song collection.
#SONY ACID PRO HELP UPGRADE#
I do NOT want to upgrade my AMS 10 only to find out that its gotten even more ridiculously NOT backwards compatible with older formats that are currently supported by it (like PCA). Will Acid Pro 9.0 finally support PCA format files? (.since Acid Pro 8.0 does not).
Will the forthcoming Acid Pro 9.0 open up Acid Music Studio 11 files or will there be a perpetual 'keep-up-with-Jones' upgrade path?.Does Acid Music Studio 11 support PCA format sound files now? (AMS v10 does!).Does Acid Music Studio 11 open up Acid Pro 8.0/9.0 files?.Since Acid Pro 8.0 does NOT support old Sony PCA format (older Sony Sound Forge) sound files from older version of Music Studio (formerly Sony Acid) and Acid Music Studio 10 does support and they play just fine. I know for a fact that Acid Music Studio 10 can NOT open up Acid Pro 8.0 files.
