Mixing, editing and MIDI

ACID Music Studio software provides a complete set of professional-level tools to give you precise control over audio mixing, effects processing, audio routing, and final output. Create your own music loops with the Chopper™ tool. Add pan and volume envelopes for precise control. Customize your mix with built-in audio effects. Alter pitch and tempo in real time.

ACID Music Studio Beatmapper finds the tempo of your song so it can work with loops or for making mashups

Enhanced remixing tools

For remixing your favorite songs, only ACID Music Studio software has the Beatmapper tool. This tool automatically finds the tempo of a complete song, making it easy to remix. New markers in ACID Music Studio 8 allow you to Beatmap songs with varying tempos and time signatures.

Studio-quality audio effects

Apply professional-quality audio effects and processes including élastique timestretching, EQ, reverb, delay, chorus, flange, phase, distortion, and echo. ACID Music Studio features VST audio effects support, as well as support for VST instruments so you can play back your MIDI tracks through virtual synthesizers, filters, and effects.

Inline MIDI editing

Increase your productivity with user-friendly inline MIDI note editing. Inline editing makes MIDI data easier to work with. Use envelopes and keyframes for precise control over MIDI data. The drum grid allows you to easily edit MIDI notes for soft synths that have drum maps defined.

Audio and MIDI Mixing Console

The Mixing Console provides an integrated view of all tracks and busses in your project with the appearance of a traditional hardware-based mixer. The look can be customized to provide you with the best view of even the most complex sessions. The new audio and MIDI Mixing Console has additional routing options, allowing for a more flexible and efficient studio recording environment. ACID Music Studio 8 also supports up to four audio busses and four assignable effects chains.

MIDI processing and filtering

ACID Music Studio includes MIDI processes and filters such as quantize, velocity, and duration for setting MIDI note parameters. With these processes, you can apply destructive editing to MIDI events on the timeline, quantize data in events, edit velocity values, change the duration of an event, or transpose MIDI data.

MIDI track envelopes

MIDI changes can be made across a project using track envelopes. Track envelopes are an easy, visual way to adjust volume, panning, controller parameters, or program changes dynamically over the duration of a track. ACID Music Studio allows you to draw envelopes directly on the timeline, right-click to add envelope points, or drag points with your mouse to make precise adjustments.

Tempo curves

Easily create gradual transitions in tempo over the duration of an ACID Music Studio project. Transition types include Linear, Fast, Slow, Smooth, Sharp, and Hold. Tempo curves are an efficient way to create dramatic or subtle tempo changes in your project.
