was the lack of inLine midi editor and IT WAS ASKED SEVERAL TIMES in this forum without any feedback from the devellopers, Notation window so that I can print my scores Kind of like celemony Melodyne aswell, but EMBEDDED in the sequencer. A tool to timestretch (ala Ableton Live) or pitchshift (ala PT8 / keeping transcient and tempo) right into the sequencer window (no extra properties window). The only thing that I miss in Acid, features wise, is :
SONY ACID PRO 7 MANUAL UPDATE
I'm very happy with the fact that the 7.0 update was focused on ENHANCING version 6.0 instead of changing everything. I tried very hard to use Reaper but unfortunately I was really disappointed by Reaper. Knock em dead Justin & the reaper team :o) Not only that, when they come out with an update like v7 they make such a big deal about tiny things like "ooh now we have Metronome Pre-roll!" WOOOOW my atari had that back in 1989 and they only just put this in?!!!! - what a joke. The Acid Forum is dead, the moderators (peter?) is just bitter in most of his responses and seems generally short and shrift with his answers! and the updates are around every 2 years!!
SONY ACID PRO 7 MANUAL FOR MAC
Tried Reaper and its much better and more responsive, and can do all that Acid does - Hope Reaper turns into Acid + Soundfroge ie: Reaper as it is now but with inline audio editing like Soundforge then i think it will rock! (and some Vegas video editing :o)Īlso Reaper is doing a version for Mac OSX, and Sony (who incidentally use Mac Pro's to test Acid running Windows partitions!) won't touch the Mac which is a shame as Soundforge woul be great for the Mac and Acid/Vegas ease of use. Yeah also was an Acid user from v2 and it was great stretching audio etc but now its just a lame duck! Reaper is way ahead in looks and most operations now imo, there's only a few more things to add from the pair (eg nested folders, in-line midi, split docker,trimmer, media pool). Surprisingly I know quite a few people that use Vegas from my area over Pro Tools, it's had a little cult here (and they don't want to learn any more software, so converting to Reaper's out of the question. Here's hoping we'll get that, or at least middle button selection natively, without having to run an external utility anymore. And the general window layout is quite similar.Īnd that's the main reason we never had left-click drag selection in Reaper, because it came from the Vegas/ACID school (probably the main thing I disliked about them). Just over the last couple of months I switched from ACID Pro 6 and I noticed that a lot of the keyboard shortcuts from ACID are the same in REAPER. In answer to this original question, I can't speak for the REAPER devs, but it's pretty evident that a lot of the UI was inspired by ACID. The really pathetic thing about Sony Creative Software's performance in this version is that it took them two years to introduce feature enhancements that the REAPER guys would likely introduce over a couple of months.
At the rate that REAPER is evolving, it will probably have all of the useful features that ACID has pretty soon anyway.
There are still some really cool things that ACID can do that aren't in REAPER yet.
REAPER is quite clearly its own beast under the covers - and IMHO that's a really good thing. And the general window layout is quite similar. Man, from many many aspects this looks like a clone of reaper - or is it vice versa?.stunning similarites! But they just won't get anyone to take them seriously with such a lame effort.īut it's all academic for me now. I did quite enjoy using ACID Pro, and I do think they could turn it into a really kickin' DAW if they wanted to. I too think that this may well be the end of the road for ACID Pro. Sony is obviously not making much money off the package, so there are minimal resources dedicated to it. And the fact that it did take two years for such an incremental change doesn't give a lot of confidence for spending more money on a dying tool. Two days after the announcement and there's virtually no comment. I predict it's the end of the road for Acid. Two years wait for that ? The only thing it has over Reaper is inline MIDI editing. I thought when 7 was released it might tempt me back.
