Dear community,

We are so happy to announce, that the loop-based Digital Audio Workstation ACID Pro is back with its first major update in ten years! We completely overhauled the software that revolutionised loop-based music making 20 years ago and have added many new professional features, instruments and effects and an all-powerful 64-bit architecture. Yet with a brand new and modern interface and its innovative loop-based compositional environment, the software retains the easy workflow that it is famous for.

ACID Pro 8 not only represents a major upgrade of the software, but demonstrates our commitment to the brand going forward. Indeed, we will be adding VST3 support in a free update later this year.

With ACID Pro 365, we now also offer a flexible subscription service. Users get all the power and functionality of the regular ACID Pro 8 but enjoy all future updates, full support plus additional instruments and effects for a monthly fee.

ACID Pro has a long, distinguished history and a very large and loyal following. It was vital, then, that we spent a long time consulting with this ACID community of artists and producers over how we should improve the software. We are very pleased that most of their suggestions have been included in ACID Pro 8. This enormous passion of the ACID fan base has really transferred to me and my team.

says Torsten Heise, ACID Pro 8's product owner.

We firmly believe that, with its enhanced power and features-set, this latest version of ACID Pro will appeal to those users and a completely new generation of creative musicians and professional producers. ACID Pro 8 heralds a new dawn in the software's glorious history and will become the DAW of choice for today's forward-thinking and creative artists.

New Features of ACID Pro 8 at a glance:

A modern, sleek and inspiring user interface
Powerful 64-bit technology
Flexible 24-bit, 192kHz multitrack recording
Advanced MIDI and audio editing features
$1000 of new plug-in instruments and effects
9GB of all-new ACIDized loops

Everybody who have taken advantage of the grace offer, please be a little patient. You should receive an email with the serial this week.

Also, we have developed a new comprehensive online content platform where users can purchase even more ACIDized loops, sounds and instruments: Producerplanet

As another professional user I completely agree. I have in past produced SO many releases using Acid Pro 7 and the previous versions, but I am now struggling to get the new version of Acid to 'keep up' with my musical demands. Such a shame. Such a great tool, dying before our eyes...

Acid Pro 8 - nice program, but bad yet

For several years I have been using ACID for my professional job.
I was looking forward to 64 bit. version so I can use the new effects already on 32 bit. they are not. Unfortunately, I have to say that the current build 143 is inapplicable to the work.

Every second star program falls. Tested on both desktop and laptop.
Not only on projects created in version 7, but also in their own projects. Very bad. He can not work with him professionally. I have to go back to version 7.

I know it's a fresh kid and some mistakes always appear. But I feel like an alpha tester and not as a user who can work seriously.

Just wait for the next assembly and still send bug reports. I've sent them a few tens ...

I am writing reviews on the Czech music server https://eduzaurus.com/free-essay-samples/heroes/, so I will wait and I will not make a negative review. The Acid program would have made it unnecessary.

I hold my thumbs, maybe it will be good

Hope everything will be fine, it's problems always happened with new ones

DX Hyperprism vst plugins support?

I got tons of old acid pro 7 projects using those Hyperprism plugins but doesn´t works on new acid pro 64versions. I know new acid pro versions has built in 32-64 plugins bridge and runs well with the oders plugins, but not with arboretum hyperprism.

Whatever made you imagine Acid Pro works under Linux ? Or are you attempting to use some sort of Windows shell ?
