Less Filling - Very Tasteful
ACID Pro 7 was not my first multi-track audio editing program, but I believe it will be my last. If you learn anything about music tracks, it's that there's always a new permutation possible that will enhance the present project. This might include a new music line, a sound effect, an automated effect or any kind of controlled change over time.
Acid Pro 7 is as remarkably adept with MIDI as it is with standard audio and works flawlessly between the two. As your music becomes complex, there is always a function or capability within the program that promotes your invention and amplifies the creative process. The program gets daily use in my projects and it always satisfies.

Acid is Awesome
Acid was one of the first audio programs i got that i could work with out of the gate without reading the manual ... i had purchased Cubase before but it was so complicated and the dongle thing cumbersome that i ended up giving it away to a friend at a nonprofit ... then i discovered Acid and have never looked back ... it is a joy to work with and my only regret is Sony does not produce server-side programming tools that are easy to work with akin to their line of Acid, Soundforge, Vegas, etc ... bravo Sony!

Simple and Powerful
This program allows you to edit and create sound with less know-how than most programs I've seen. It has a powerful set of features. Sony knows their stuff when it comes to sound. Also, if you're familiar with Sony's other editing programs such as Vegas Pro, you'll be right at home here because the layout is very similar. NICE

Acid Pro 7 Fantastic
Being a music lover but not a technical person (on formal training) i'm blown away at how easy it is to create the music you desire for any occasion. The functionality is amazing and i'll grow into it for years. the price is fantastic for what you get 'under the hood'

Acid Pro 7
Dear Sony Creative Software,
I'm currently using Acid Pro 7 to create a project of original instrumental compositions in a variety of styles; all arranged for guitar, bass, & drums. Since I'm doing all of the instruments myself, Acid is a great way to go; using a soft synth for drums, and recording guitar & bass
.
Having used Acid since version 4.0, I've always been impressed with its basic multitrack production functionality. But on this particular project, I'm really taken with how easily and seamlessly I'm able to integrate MIDI, my hardware, and use Sony and 3rd party plugins with Acid Pro 7.
The mixing console is so versatile for setting up and automating mixes for all phases of recording, tweaking, and mixing down.
The interface is also versatile. Even though I'm using a single monitor, it's quick and easy to organize the desktop for efficient use. Organizing 6 or 7 drumtracks with folder tracks & buss assignments really keeps things organized and moving along.
Though the program is extremely intuitive, having access to training via the website's numerous resources, many of which are free of charge, has made some of the less obvious, but extremely helpful features a breeze to use. For me, it was things like automating effects, and understanding buss routing.
In the end, as both engineer and musician, I am able to concentrate on creating and recording my music, which is what I want to be able to do. Plus, it's fun.
Thanks!

As a long time user I highly recommend Acid Pro 7
I have been an Acid Pro user since version 2.0 around 2000. I have always been astounded at the power and usability of this software and it just gets better with every release. I particularly like the instantaneous feedback you get when adjusting levels, pans and FX. The included FX plugins pretty much will allow any user to produce excellent finished product. It also works flawlessly with all my third party VST plugins. The user manuals are first rate and easily understood (so don't forget to RTFMs). I have used it for building songs from loops as well as mutli-track recording and hybrids of the two. I have done many CD's as well as completed projects begun on multi-track tape and other digital recording devices. This software also easily puts 5.1 sound production in the hands of any user, all you need is a mutli-track audio card and a 5.1 receiver with a multi-channel analog input. The other thing that is great is that Acid Pro does not need a lot of horsepower to operate, it does fine on a modest CPU without a ton of memory. It is also available in many levels like the free Acid XPress and Acid Music Studio which is modestly priced to allow the new user to try it with little economic impact and then upgrade as they need more features. I would recommend Acid software to any one looking to enter the world of music production and recording whatever style of music they create. Compared to competitors Acid Pro is much more intuitive and responsive IMHO. This software unleashes your creativity rather than bogs you down with a steep learning curve.

A great product
Acid Pro has a learning curve, but it's a logical one. You can get up and running fairly quickly, but the richness and versatility is revealed the longer you work with it.

Awsome!
I had heard about this great product after I began using Vegas Pro - and while SVP can do some awsome edits, I like having the dedicated product of AP. It is not only intuitive but unleashes my creativity - as I learn more about it.
