Sony ACID Pro 6

ACID, the original loop-based arrangement tool, has been overhauled, gaining audio and MIDI recording capabilities. Mark Cousins takes a trip with ACID Pro 6...

Price: £299.00
Manufacturer: Sony
Website: http://www.sony.com/acidpro6


Although we tend to expect ‘elasticated’ audio files as standard these days, it wasn’t until ACID came along (all the way back in 1998) that we first had access to a completely intuitive, flexible way of creating loop-based music. Since then, an increasing number of DAWs have gone on to implement this kind of functionality, from Ableton’s Live – which spun the concept into interactive, ‘live’ loop-juggling – to Apple’s own version of the ACID Loop, the Apple Loop. The original ACID was developed by Sonic Foundry (which also brought us Sound Forge and Vegas) and then latterly acquired by Sony as part of its ever-expanding media division. Under Sony’s wing the program has grown, both as a music-production tool, but equally in audiovisual circles for soundtrack creation.
