This is the absolute worst software ever and ranks even worse in user friendly department an absolute waste of money if best buy doesn't alllow my return im going to flip out cause it will literally be a $35 starter log for tonights fire. Hopefully it functions better as a fire starter than recording and loop based software. I have successfully used a wide range of software pro tools, cubase, logic, fruity loops, audacity etc etc so its not just fustration due to inexperience

@johnebaker Sadly, this forum isn't so much about ' how to' as much as 'frustration' and 'work arounds' You know as well as I these people have no where else to turn. These problems needed to be addressed years ago. Cheers

Hi,

We don't even know what @cf-Cobb bought or why it's

...the absolute worst software ever and ranks even worse in user friendly department an absolute waste of money...

Why do people come on the site to complain about software without even indicating the software, version and why. Just saying that it's "horrible" is totally subjective. What, the guy is expecting a fully-fledged DAW like Pro Tools (389$/yr subscription), Cubase (874$), Logic Pro (199.99$ - Mac only) for 35$?

...ranks even worse in user friendly department...

If you don't know what the program does or what to do, spent a half hour reading the manual. Why is this so hard for some people?

ACID Music Studio 11 sells at Best Buy for 59.99$. At 35$, that would be a deal. It's definitely not ACID Pro (currently on sale for 80$).

Furthermore, trial versions for both ACID Music Studio and Pro are available on Magix.com. Try before you buy.

@browj2 Trensharo, is spot on, as he usually is. I couldn't agree more. My comment to the Moderator was about what this Forum has become and why. Perhaps, you should have addressed your comment too cf-Cobb...? Cheers
