5.0 out of 5 stars Great software, August 3, 2006

This review is from: ACID Music Studio 6 (CD-ROM)

At school, my son enjoys the benefit of some sophisticated Acid Pro software that we can't afford to buy for home use. But this Acid Music Studio 6.0 is the next best thing--albeit costing more than $300 less.

In fact, we are especially pleased, as we obtained this product as an "upgrade" to an old, discontinued double set of Sony sound software.

The software is compatible only with Windows, of course, but it is great for novice musical experiments like those my son enjoys. There are more than 1,700 music loop recordings he can select to embellish his own "raps," and he can also (should the spirit move him) create music videos.

In addition, registered users can download more free music loops from the ACIDplanet website.

All in all, a great value.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good, March 17, 2007

hey- I got this program about a month ago and even though I haven't been able to use all the features it seems like a really good program. It does have a little delay in the recording (say, if you were trying to record a second guitar part over a first guitar its a little late) but it's easy to fix by just moving the whole bar at once. I'm a drummer who has been playing for about 8 years and guitar for 3 years and I think it's a good program. Strongly recommended... and for 50 bucks you can't go wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Major Problems, November 24, 2006

This review is from: ACID Music Studio 6 (CD-ROM)

I was expecting this product to be just like apple's garage band. it defently isnt.

when you record into the program with an intrument(i use my guitar and microphone) it imports into the program a little off. let me clarify: i could record a guitar part. then a bass part. when i play it back, they dont line up perfectly.

another flaw is when you are recording you can use a metronome to hit on beats two and four. when i record a secound part, the metronme with hit on the and of one and the and of three. that really throws me off.

this program does have some good!
unlike garage band, the loops are stored on seperate disks that you upload in stead of the content taking up hardrive space.

so this really is a good a product you just have to get around the problems. if you know what your doing when it comes to computers then get this product. you will be able to get the best of this product(it has a great ptential) if your not the best a computers then you might want a program that is a little easier to use.
