I guess the advantage is loop based arranging. Oh wait, all major DAWs can do time and pitch stretching now. Maybe the workflow would be useful if you wanted to create a lot of acidized groove clips?
I have an old copy of ACID Pro 6 (32-bit) from over a decade ago, and it sure seemed special back in the day. Not sure I will bother with an upgrade now...

A lot if you do pattern based music. It's a great GUI. At one time some like to use Acid to mix because of the layout. If it had a full piano roll layout this would have been my choice of DAW. Acid Pro 7 still runs great despite the last update was when W7 rolled out. It doesn't have all of the features as Live and it doesn't have its price. It's still a great piece of software and all of the newer VSTs (32bit) run in it.

I was wondering why they haven't integrated features together with Samplitude or v/v as one DAW (or is it?).

This upgrade is about 10 years too late. When acid was released it was revolutionary. So much so that most DAWs started using acidized files. It then became stagnate with versions after 4 becoming same producy with minor changes. The rise of Ableton introduced a product that took loop production light years beyond Acid. Most Daws handle loops better than Acid at this point. I miss the simplicity of Acid, but can't imagine anything significant to make upgrade worthwhile

I assumed that Magix would just incorporate the legacy Acid code and features into their mainstream DAW products. Or release an updated consumer product like Acid Music, for first timers to experience loop based music creation.
But trying to release an Acid update now for pro DAW users, after all these years and other, newer options, is a bit tone deaf of their marketing team.

The problem with trying to salvage acid features for Samplitude is most of Acid's features have been dated for years. Is there really a modern DAW that does not have a timestretching algorithm superior to Acid?

The workflow is geared towards people who focus on sample manipulation and slicing. If you remember the days of 8-packs, you would definitely have some appreciation for what it could do. Even so, I can't help thinking that they might have some catching up to do.

Acid Pro (7 or 8) should be a $49 program, and even that price point may be too high. I used to love Acid when it first appeared in the market, but it no longer has any appeal when every DAW can handle loops with ease...

Some times, the other DAWs are a pain to deal with. I find at times, that Acid Pro 7 is just a lot easier to manipulate and work in and almost all of my plugins work in it. It's great for threading together demos and working out ideas. You just can't do that in the larger more expansive DAWs. They tend to be too laborious for simple songs and track ideas!

I agree. I will eventually get the upgrade.

Even though other daws handle .acd and or rex loops I have always thought the GUI was especially easy to use in Acid Pro. Easier than in the others. Couldn't be easier. In addition, The loops were some of the best to get a pop or rock tune started. I hate to say it, but the loops in CW I never had any use for.
In Acid you had easy access to bass, drums, guitar hooks whatever. Most of it fit very well with what I was doing at the time. IMHO probably the best daw for turning out fast quality ideas on the fly.
They were one of the first to do it. They developed the acid system and to this day it's one of the very best there is.

+1 For me, it is still the best and most efficient loop arranging tool. When working with loops, it is so quick & easy to try out new ideas/arrangements in different keys/tempos. When I moved to an all 64bit DAW years ago (OS, apps, plugins, etc.), I sadly let my ACID Pro 6 (32 bit) go. When Magix acquired the Sony assets (SF, ACID, etc), I was hoping a 64 bit version would come out of it. That was the only thing I really wanted. Anything thing else is just gravy. I gladly paid my $99 upgrade fee for AP8 and have not been disappointed.

The last copy I had was Acid pro 7 in 32 bit which is all that was available at the time. I believe it's on my old win 7 daw I haven't booted in years. I would like to upgrade it if I can get my numbers and they accept them.

Glad you're enjoying the new version Kenny!
I realized I registered with Magix awhile back and they must have had my info. I seen an email for 99.00 upgrade.
Anyone else getting a better deal right now?

You will be helping Majix to make more magic. It's a great tool to have in the arsenal. Suggestion- Try the demo. It isn't for everyone. I like it for what it does.I'm happy to see it further developed.

Yes Tim , I do like it . There are a few things that still need to be worked out . For example Rewire needs much better implementation , "some " if not all my of my DAW's are simply MIA when it comes to Rewire . Magix is aware of this ... Kenny
