All user reviews for the Sony Acid Pro 6

Installation on Windows XP was done without difficulty and quickly. On Vista it is a different story ...
I'm not a fan of the Media Manager so I uninstalled afterwards. I regret that there is no option for the installation does not install.
The manual is in English but well done.

ADQUATION / PERFORMANCE

I'm running this software on a laptop equipped with an Intel Core Duo (2x2ghz) and 2GB of RAM.
It works well, I have not yet encountered of problem, no crash.
The app takes very little memory, it is very fast (not like Cubase SX ...). The interface is pretty basic but after all it is not to make the audio to enjoy the scenery!
VSTi work well, the only small annoyance I encountered lies in the rglages some virtual instruments is not saving properly. Also some bugs with some VST plugins (including GUI thereof)
The setup is extremely stable.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use Acid for 5 years and this version since its release (ie 2 years).
The arrival of multitrack recording is a true advance. Is approached more and more professional DAW.

The pros:
.dropoff Window The rapiditbr />. Simplicity of use
.dropoff Window Multitrack recording (from the time that they were waiting ...)
.dropoff Window The good MIDI management
.dropoff Window The functionalities of old versions of Acid are always prsentes (eg Beatmapper)
.dropoff Window An attractive price
.dropoff Window ...dropoff Window

The -:
.dropoff Window When will the channel strip?
.dropoff Window Media Manager installed by default
.dropoff Window Some bugs with some VST plugins and VTSI

I highly recommend this software esprant that Sony will continue its efforts to improve Acid and allow it to accder the rank of professional DAW.

trouble-free installation
not open the manual
configuration carefree

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

software requires very little resources, very stable even with a small config and a small bundle of vst

OVERALL OPINION

I started working on it to version 4, circa 2005
I've also been working on FL Studio and Reason
Plus: A must for music production, sampler, looper, which for me beats hip hop is best if you chose a config bw / midi controllers rather than a kind mpc sampler
The least: it will nikel to make beats, on the other hand when it comes to record a voice or instrument (and even vinyl sampler!), Back right away to cubase, nothing to do in terms of decision sound, and treatment (management is disastrous effects on acid and if anyone has figured out how to make him digest vst external effects, I am takers, after years of use I threw in the towel !)
Having paid 50 € for a mate, I judge the value for money at the top. After seeing how the software is at the top for sampler and looper, I would have invested even nine eyes closed! .
wholesale to produce well, not great at all to record

Installation was no problem and Droulez Acid Pro 6 has recognized all my VSTi synths and my belongings.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

AMD Athlon 1 GHz with 1 Gig of RAM. My soundcard is a SoundBlaster Live Platinum 5.1 which runs with the kX Project drivers (much better than Creative).

As you see, I do not have a machine art, my computer was about 5 years and Acid Pro 6.0 trs drives well and even better than Acid Pro 4.0f which is the version I used before. Sony has done a great job of optimization of performance for this release.

OVERALL OPINION

APRS less than a week of use I can say, acids dja Pro 6.0 will replace compltement Sonar PE 4.0 for my needs. I ever apprci interface Acid than Sonar 6 but version of Acid is now a true squenceur which is no longer limited to the loops and that has nothing envy the COMPTITE. I did use a limit of Acid before but this version vhange all.

The interface is a rare and lgance an easy to use copy. The new edition features MIDI are approachable and efficient trs. The list of new features is impressive but the impression General for flexibility and stability which makes it by far the best version of Acid that day. Sony Arussi will integrate almost all the features requested by users for years. The comptiteurs Sony should take notes ...

Nickel: A model of simplicity. Miss the nuclear installation / registration the first time is almost impossible.
Bugs:
- Some problems with backup reminders Guitar Rig 3 (in effect I put on a bus each track ddi GR3). Nothing serious, but a small check each launch ncessaire, even if you have done a "save" your guitar presets, while all my other plugs and VSTi (UAD plugs, Massive, FM8, Absynth , Kontakt, EZDrummer, Trilogy, Pro53, etc ...) come back exactly as I have laisss, even if no backup of the modified preset.
- SPECIFICATIONS EZDrummer a problem (identified by Toontrack rsolu but not yet present) who eats three times the first four shots almost every time a loop drag & drop in Acid and ncessite a readjustment hand a bit tedious but which one ends deal almost without thinking after a while ... Boring even when it seems their rsister bug again in 2008 ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Trs good stability in use reasonable and good habits once made (easy if you have a version of antrieure Acid) ... even if the crash tests come soon enough after his flegmme freezent and all without lgance until expulsion of the author and back office to reload ... That said, the audio switches from noon is very simple so it bypasses the problem rather aisment ds we got the hang (no worse than any other DAW or better I think) .
Routings trs simple and logical (once you understand the logic tracks / bus / master particulire but just so much easier than the competition even when, to my APRS).
A lower limit for certain: only one window VSTi (impossible to view both your Drummer and Synth: zapper need one another ... but sometimes Chianti is taken quickly and suddenly Guard has a fairly clear office (that said, I'm using a double notch ... ...). Ms. limit for windows or FX plug (one time ... at once take). It does not really GNER those who like to watch all the little cursor moving and pretty diodes to clingcling ...

OVERALL OPINION

DEFINITIONS The v6 is a major step toward the trs adulthood by intgration MIDI trs intuitive form (and forms of avecmultiple edition easy piano roll, event list, etc. ...). So even if the TRS is complte bte (and a bit more challenging to beginners, no doubt), has still much simpler approach that DAW market leaders for the excellent Ergonomics is primarily thought to keep the head and the zic fun.
So if you just like me a V4 or V5, is quite impressive and trs oprationnel quickly as we keep the spirit of the visual tracker loop which made its success (and our pleasure zic to last more than computers!). It is always much rgale dplacer / pull / grind loops and cause Creations cratives and unexpected in a few seconds (and I'm just the rock and the song! Or techno, or ambient, or D & B, etc ... My small online component of AF are all made with 100% Acid + SForge). An instrument or DAW can also be a real tool cratif: Acid did! With MIDI, it is finally the big leagues with the agility of small.
Just the small inquitude lasted over by Sony that looks probably more market share in monitoring rinvestir / dveloppement ... Vigilance so ...
That said, despite these comments (especially give prvenir before you purchase to avoid a dconvenue beginners) I will not change for anything yet! And coupling with Soundforge 9 is always on top of the hair. One winning couple for pleasure without making cabbage (after taking a few small habits / checks evokes above).
WITH ACID, ON ACCOUNT OF THE ZIC, and if it is less eye tape is also often less expensive and time matriser! And without in December ', the 9 / 10 is really not EXAGRES.

- Installation is it without problem?
Yes no problem
- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No, no
- The configuration gnrale is easy?
Yes we do not do some simple
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Yes to a quick start, but for the use of plugins nada.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)
ASUS P4PE Motherboard / 2GB SDRAM / Intel 2.4 ghz / M-Audio Transit Audio / DMX 6 FIRE and / or chipset Intgr / 3 HDD 200GB USED WITH REASON IN REWIRE
- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
Let's say we use as few or no trs same internal plugin everything is fine even with Reason, by quy against ds has some plugin is the cat, from 7 Effects slowed.
- What performance? (If quantifiable)
To wedge her quickly to make a remix or otherwise, ACID PRO is the best software that I know much better on this point that pro tools or other logic pro is the best for ca ca Beatmapper function is effective extrmemment and convenient, ultra-fast, for against the use of plugins is a disaster. The quality plug-ins is trsmdiocre, and pr SETTING THE trs them nearly enough
- This software + hardware configuration is stable?
No, it slowed down after 7 plugins with Reason, the software alone plant every 2, 3 o'clock, and when you export a sagt an error nearly 2 once (always with Reason.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it? *
5 years I started ACID 3, 4, 5 and 6
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
MOST:
FUNCTION BEATMAPPED and rapid Usage requirements that have been acid line with sound files into loops is to ease dconcertante. You take a file explorer you drag or you want to understand and acid features of the stall with intlligemment beatmapped if it is long or if it is perfectly hold direct short. INCREDIBLE. If you want to cut, reverse and fast extrmment is stalling with this software, the best to be kind of thing!

LEAST:
Management and effect plugin: HORRIBLE
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Not
- How do you report qualitprix?
Difficult to judge, say for a dj who just do DSIR remix it and use loop record from external sources, this software is perfect and even better it would be same again in a serious competitor to other software. Maid ds sagit it to record a voice, an instrument, and treat some track with effects. It would be better to take carrment else.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
For beginners who dj remix: YES 200% for the rest: NO

Sony Acid Pro 6 is really easy to set up and get started. You may need to pull out he manual if you have never used computer recording and editing software before. But this program is a great starting point for your home setup. You can use virtually any plug in with this software without it crashing which is key in today’s recording world because no matter what your main sequencing and recording program is you still like to rewire other programs with your main one. Sony Acid Pro 6 gives you full control over the project you are working on. The manual is extremely easy to understand, its almost to easy.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Sony Acid Pro 6 is probably one of the easiest softwares that I have ever used when it comes to computer recording and sequencing. Son Acid Pro 6 is for the beginner and the intermediate musician and/or producer who is looking for a great program with great quality. Mixing and Mastering your tracks are a breeze with Sony Acid Pro 6.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall Sony Acid Pro 6 is a great started program, it has a lot of effects that you can use. But not as many as some other computer software’s, Sony Acid Pro 6 almost seems to be like a watered down version of some of the other softwares I have used. The price of this software is great, and very affordable. But you will need to invest more money into some plug ins and vst’s. Because the ones that come with Sony Acid Pro 6 aren’t going to give you the “wow” factor you might be looking for. But this program will definitely get you started with your career as a musician. I am very happy with Sony Acid Pro 6 for the year that I have used it, it worked like a charm.
