had sonic foundry acid pro 4 lying around for ages. didn't use it until i got a good enough computer in early 2005 when i was 13. joined acidplanet later that year
I joined Acidplanet in 1998 and loved the place, great remix contests, great folk and great atmosphere. I still keep in touch with David Hollinden. Now this is my place to continue with my music and Acid Pro.

1998 - Mine was Acid Pro 1 from SamAsh music in Southern California. A friend had given me his Steinberg's wavelab and I started messing with copy and pasting sounds in it until he spoke about Multitrack mixing. We both went to SamAsh and paid $24.99 for the very first copy of Acid 1.0. It was the only software I could understand. He had Cubase which was way too complicated and I had Acid Pro. It changed the world for me. Since I had fair amount of music theory, I would put music together in his cubase at his house and save the sounds on floppy disk for me to use in Acid and since he was technical, he would mix the final in Cubase. Extremely tedious work but we didn't know any better so it was the best way. Miss the acid pro days. unfortunately, came a time when I just gave up on it.
Acid Pro 1st edition thanks to some old warez site when they were a thing and my purchased cubase vst 3.5 just crashed whenever i forgot to save my progresss.... Stumbled upon this dodgy site using my 56k internet i started my 3rd Acid love started then purchased 2,3,4,6,7,8,365 10 and stopped using dodgy downloads although i wish my reason 11 would work in 10 keep having to go back to 8 which is so unstable i keep checking in not in time warp and cubase 3.5 is crashing .....
I started around 2006 or '07, which whatever version of Acid Pro was available then - maybe 4 or 5? My first project was a short dance piece that I started in Cakewalk Kinetic, which was a sequencer at heart. I pushed the software to it's limit and had to upgrade to a full DAW because I could not contain my "vision", as it were. I wound up exporting all the MIDI as .wav files, recreated the piece in Acid, then beefed it up a bit. I stopped making music around 2011 or so, and am just last month getting back into it.
