  Getting Started

  (Originally written by skelo/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  
  
  Very easy!
  
  
  
  Downloaded from the Sony homepage.
  
  Fast and easy installation.

  Suitability/Performance

  I'm using a Sony Vaio notebook (1.8 Dual Core + 2 Gb Ram) running Win XP.
  
  I haven't tried it with Windows Vista.
  
  I tested the software with 3 Digidesign cards and it works very good.
  
  
  
  - DIGI 02
  
  - Mbox 2
  
  - Mbox 2 mini
  
  
  
  The software seems to be stable and it works smoothly.
  
  It's a pity that I had to wait for the v7.0.a update to get a stable software.

  Overall Opinion

  I've been using it for a short time (demo version).
  
  I would like a more "professional" and "sexy" graphic user interface, like Protools 8. A GUI with character!!! I find this one a bit ugly and poor. It's a pity that Sony doesn't modernize the look of its product.
  
  I hope users will change their opinion about Acid giving Sony the motivation to develop this software, which has been ignored way too long.

  ortax-creations's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Acid, a simple but powerful sequencer"

  Getting Started

  Installing Sony Acid Pro 7 is extremely simple but it is unpleasant to have to install the extentions. NET or Microsoft SQL to run the Media Manager, which incidentally should be avoided as it eats resources and is slow. Organized rather your samples or sounds clearly in your Windows folders, here goes faster!

  Suitability/Performance

  Can blame Sony for an exclusive policy, however the Windows software from the source is fully integrated with the Windows world in terms of development. The offer on the Mac is not commercially interesting for them.
  
  
  
  For my part, Sony Acid was interfaced MAUDIO, Edirol and RME met without any worries. I use Acid

  Overall Opinion

  from there. I also use other suites such as Sound Forge and Vegas are formidable simplicity and efficiency.
  
  
  
  Acid Pro I used to carry all my albums from the inception to mastering. Acid Pro is widely underestimated although many criticisms can be brought against him.
  
  
  
  Most
  
  Extreme simplicity
  
  Fully compatible with all VST and DirectX conceivable (effects & synths)
  
  Creation and management system of loops remains unbeatable
  
  Management automation super simple
  
  Creating effective super fast tracks to mastering
  
  Export flawless until 24/192, managing multitrack and 5.1
  
  Management 5.1 really super simple and very compelling especially for video editing
  
  
  
  The -
  
  A windowing system interesting, but it is imperative a large screen 24 inches or more
  
  The software still crashes but often for reasons to use freeware plugin
  
  The ergonomics could be improved as much as the look that is "cheap"
  
  Do not offer a MIDI management thrust (quantize very limited, no duplicate management noon, no writ arpegiatteur ...), Acid are used in midi but is devilishly limited to work that grows
  
  Timestretching that has aged even with the addition of Elastic Pro clean well, Sony could have worked this part of the baby but in general it is clear that Sony does business on this app since the acquisition of Sonic Foundry.

  Getting Started

  Installation of version 7.0c no problem, prvoir Framework 3.0.
  
  The software is in English, as the manual, but Acid is pretty simple to understand.
  
  Very simple and lightweight. Trs once recognized, it was caught up by the Live. But I prfre Acid. Too bad Sony has not had as amricains Acid Sonic Foundry did.

  Suitability/Performance

  With a Core 2 Duo is fast and stable trs (version 7.0c). I got the sound I prfre other. It is easy to use, lightweight, fast, Presonus Firepod with. Bugs in version 6 seems to be corrected, and finally for my use.

  Overall Opinion

  This software is very practical. Would be nice to customize the interface a little Austre, but effective all the same trs. In the days of Sonic Foundry c'tait my prfr. Espron that Sony is catching up ...
