ACID Music Studio 10

Its a decent music software, it has some great tools, I dont think it offers enough for a professional studio, however I definitely recommend it to any and all beginners at home.

Access to the most common features is intuitive. Definitely more so than other software Ive tried. I was able to compose some music after using it for an hour. Obviously, it wil take longer to take advantage of all the features. I did find getting access to the included loops was confusing. I had to go to the Help Menu and select a loops download option. The software installation should have done that automatically.

Everytime i launch it, I get a message my hard drive is low on space. I have a 5TB HDD with over 2.75TB free. Very annoying. All I want to do is play music files and play guitar along with it. I even purchased a Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen) to try to solve latency issues. Still get latency about 1/4 second off. The program doesnt even allow me to play songs and record at the same time. It messed up a few of my songs with its auto beat thing. The learning curve is horrible.

I like the features they added to this program.

Not for beginners, but still great buy

Sony acid has been around a long time. We love using it.

The software is sub-par for features and UI. What really ticks me off is they install adware on your computer. For Windows, go to add/remove programs and search for Connect. It doesnt show up as a startup app, but it is. And it spams you with advertisements. What a joke.

Music Maker 12 worked very well for me years ago and Music Studio 10 is even better. This is very friendly software for someone who wants to record at home. I realized that times have changed. Earlier this year, I bought a DI box with a free download of other recording software included, that was very nice, but has way more bells and whistles for a guitarist of my age to learn. I want to play guitar, and not be a recording engineer. Studio 10 is very intuitive and easy to grasp after just a few hours of experimenting if youre not experienced at recording. Ive just begun with it, and I know with a younger brain, this software has a lot more potential. The help section is well done.

Ok, this was also funny, as one doesnt normally get a boxed software anymore but it was great. The installation was easy, the sounds pretty dame good but you only get 1500 loops and sounds for the program which isnt bad but you do get a free pool of sounds when registering.
