Updates???

Looking for the latest build for Acid Pro8 (233) or (8.07). There are problems with the Beatmapper and other issues in the only version on the download pages or within my account listing. The only version available for download in my account is 8.05 build 226.

Is there some place within the site where current builds are available for download? I've searched the website without success. I realize that there is an opportunity to become a beta tester but that is not workable for me.

Seems weird that current builds and updates aren't made available for download. Or perhaps they are and I just haven't found them? Maybe there is a reason for it? But if there are problems, like the Beatmapper issue, and others, how can one solve these issues without the latest update available for download so we can install it?

I've carefully looked for an email assuming any update would be announced and have a link for any update included within it. I didn't receive one.

Seems to me that as a customer this should be a little easier. Perhaps I've missed something.

Maybe one of the moderators could shed some light on this or post a link for the update (233 or newer)?

Thank you,

Will

@lt20018 how did AP9 work out for you? It looks like from another thread you were impressed - I'm hoping that was not sarcasm? :-)

LMAO! No sarcasm at all. i love it. Very Stable. No crashing. VST = Perfect, im finding old Sessions that work. I am grateful. I only want Magix to promise us faithful Acid users to keep it going. This DAW can compete with industry standard like it was poised to do in the past. @sheppo thank you sir!

For the FAQ - how to download the latest version of Acid Pro

Download the Acid Pro installer from the Magix.com my products page

Install the version of Acid Pro you wish to install - currently this will install build 8.0.8.29 - the latest version

Once installed, run Acid Pro as administrator (right click the shortcut in the start menu, select Run as Administrator

Go to the Help Menu and click "Check for News"

This should present you with download links for the latest 32bit and 64bit version of Acid Pro if newer versions are available

Download and install the version you want

edit 07-June-2019: updated to reflect latest version available from the My Products page

Again, thank you for the effort but this does not work -- I installed (am about to try a re-install) but the 'check for news' appears to do nothing at all. I contacted support, so far, the only answers I've gotten from them amount to, 'huh, that's odd . . . it's supposed to get you to the latest patch . . .:". I'll go try a re-install to see if that fixes anything (I have my doubts).

While I'm here, though, anyone know why the AP9 icon disappeared after the last patch?
