A Solid FoundationACID software is built on rock-solid technology to provide you with an excellent foundation for loop-based music creation. ACID Pro 6 software also features a complete set of tools called Fundamentals - the features you need to produce truly professional results. For example, ACID Pro 6 software has unlimited tracks for audio and MIDI events, real-time pitch and tempo matching, and impressive new Media Manager technology. Media Manager tools let you search, tag, and catalog your loops with incredibly accuracy and efficiency.
Get OrganizedPowerful new Media Manager technology offers a more efficient way to manage your ACID Pro 6 project media. Innovative "search and tag" tools allow you to quickly identify loops found on your hard-drive or even within the entire Sony Sound Series Loops & Samples collection - by genre, instrumentation, BPM, or other user-defined and customizable attributes.
Superior Mixing and EditingNew nestable folder tracks enhance project organization and simplify editing. Reverse audio events during playback in real-time. Set up and mix 5.1 channel surround project files for audio and DVD productions. The Beatmapper tool adds tempo information to song-length files including MP3s, so you can remix and combine music loops with existing songs. The Chopper tool creates amazing drum fills, stutters, and DJ-style effects.
Cutting-Edge Audio EffectsApply over 20 DirectX audio effects, including the new tempo-based effects such as Flange, Amplitude Modulation, and Simple Delay that automatically adjust to project-based tempo changes. You can also create resonant sweeps, dramatic fades, EQ changes, and add effects using automation envelopes. ACID Pro 6 software also natively supports VST effects, expanding the palette of sounds available for music creation. Apply automation and tempo-sync VST effects. Use VST soft synths with multiple busses.
Your Quantization StationACID Pro 6 software includes powerful and patent-pending groove quantization technology. Groove Mapping and Groove Cloning can significantly expand your loop collection by morphing existing loops into fresh, new sounds. Beat-match loops and vocal tracks nondestructively in real-time. Quantize disparate loops to a common groove, create new grooves from scratch, apply any number of the supplied grooves, and even extract grooves from existing loops and apply them to other samples.
