Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Rather than repeat the praise that has been heaped on this product by other reviewers, I thought I would point out that Acid Pro 3.0 is an extraordinarily elastic piece of software; true, if you have no musical background, you can simply paste loops into your song and let Acid do the rest; but if you want to get into the microscopic details of music production, you can do that as well. Aside from global key and tempo changes, you can change the key of individual loops; you can change the pitch of individual notes within individual loops; add global effects or effects envelopes to just parts of tracks. Harmonize loops. Create multiple busses. There's even a way to simulate granular synthesis (read Sam's Teach Yourself Acid to learn how). Use the Chopper to create drum fills and stutters.
In short, the single most daunting thing about Acid is not the learning curve, but the absurd number of things you can do with it--where does one start?
P.S., As if Acid Pro 3.0 were not powerful enough, it comes with a basic version of Sound Forge, Sonic Foundry's sound file editor.
