Acid Pro (often stylized ACID) is a professional digital audio workstation (DAW) software program currently developed by Magix Software. It was originally called Acid pH1 and published by Sonic Foundry, later by Sony Creative Software as Acid Pro, and since spring 2018 by Magix as both Acid Pro and a simplified version, Acid Music Studio. Acid Pro 8 (the current version as of 2019) supports 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, and has MIDI, ASIO, VST, VST3, DirectX Audio, and 5.1 surround sound support.

History[edit]

Acid was first launched in 1998, as Acid pH1, by Sonic Foundry in Madison, Wisconsin. It was a loop-based music sequencer, in which Acid Loop files could be simply drag-and-dropped then automatically adjust to the tempo and key of a song with virtually no sonic degradation.

A website for budding musicians using Acid technology was set up, named AcidPlanet.com. The software became very popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s among composers, producers, and DJs interested in quickly creating beats, music textures, or complete compositions and orchestrations, that would work with virtually any tempo or key signature.

Sonic Foundry sold its Acid, Vegas, Sound Forge, CD Architect, Siren, VideoFactory, ScreenBlast, and Batch Converter product lines to Sony Pictures Digital in July 2003; the merger resulted in the new Sony Creative Software division.^[1] Sony's Acid Pro 6 (released in the third quarter of 2006) introduced a full-digital audio workstation that also included MIDI and multitrack audio recording with full support for ASIO computer-audio and VST synthesizer-plugin standards.

On May 20, 2016, German company Magix Software GmbH announced they had acquired the majority of the products in the Sony Creative Software portfolio. These include Acid Pro, Vegas Pro, Movie Studio, and Sound Forge Pro.^[2] Acid Pro 8, the first version since Magix's acquisition, was announced on January 21, 2018 and released in spring 2018. The update came with new modern features including an enhanced interface, support for 64-bit, additional samples, VST3 support, over 20 DirectX audio effects, the ability to mix in 5.1 surround sound, and new features named Media Manager, BeatMapper, and Chopper.

In one version or another, Acid Pro runs on PCs with all versions of Microsoft Windows since Windows 2000; Acid Pro 8 requires Windows 8.1 or later. Versions do not exist for macOS or Linux.

Acid Loops[edit]

Acid Loop (trademark), also Acidized or Acidified loop (generic terms), refers to a sound clip which can be repeated and transposed to form a song with minimal manual adjustment. Acidized loops contain tempo and key information, so that Acid can properly time-stretch and pitch-shift the clip to fit into an existing track structure. An Acidized loop is a specially prepared WAV audio file, which can be created using an audio-editing tool such as Sound Forge.

The technology was created in 1998 for Sonic Foundry's original Acid pH1 software. Sony and Magix later sold series of Acidized loop sample CDs to be used with Acid Pro, as have various third-party companies. Since then, this looping technique has been adopted by the majority of other digital audio workstations on the market, sometimes with competing brand names for the feature, such as Cakewalk Sonar (calling it Groove Clips), and Cubase (calling it Audio Warp). Many DAWs can also directly support Acidized loops intended for use in Acid Pro.

Other versions[edit]

Acid Music Studio is a simplified, lower-cost version of Acid Pro. The latest version as of 2019 is Acid Music Studio 11.^[3]

This topic will help you set up a MIDI keyboard for recording in ACID.

Before starting ACID, connect your MIDI device.

If you’re using a USB keyboard, connect it to an available USB port on your computer and install drivers if necessary.
If you’re using an external MIDI interface (such as a USB-to-MIDI converter or an external sound card with MIDI ports), connect the MIDI In port on your MIDI interface to the MIDI Out port on your keyboard, and connect the MIDI Out port on your MIDI interface to the MIDI In port on your keyboard.
If you’re using a MIDI cable connected to the joystick port on your sound card, connect the connect the MIDI In plug on the cable to the MIDI Out port on your keyboard, and connect the MIDI In plug to the MIDI Out port on your keyboard.

Start ACID.
Enable the port where your MIDI keyboard is connected:

From the Options menu, choose Preferences.
In the Make these devices available for MIDI input box, select the check box for the port where your MIDI device is connected.

If you want to type a name to identify the device that is connected to the port, double-click the Device box and type a new name to identify the MIDI device connected to each MIDI input or output port. For MIDI tracks that use these input and output ports, these device names will be used on the MIDI Input and MIDI Output buttons on the track header.

Select the Auto MIDI input routing check box. When this check box is selected, the focus track will accept input from any MIDI input device when you record MIDI.
When multiple tracks are selected, the focus track displays a blinking indicator in its track number: .
Add a software synthesizer (soft synth) to your project. The soft synth will give a voice to the notes you play on your keyboard:

From the Insert menu, choose Soft Synth to add a soft synth bus control to the Mixing Console window (you can also click the Insert Soft Synth button in the Mixing Console window). The Soft Synth Chooser dialog is displayed.
On the Soft Synths tab, select the synthesizer you want to use, and then click OK. If you want to change your choice later, you can edit the soft synth.
