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.
