'Using ACID makes me feel like a master chef setting up all his ingredients for an incredible meal. I assemble any loops, sounds, dialogue or FX in there, make my pitch adjustments, cut up and edit beats, and instantly hear how everything fits together. I am not exaggerating when I say I cannot do what I do nearly as well without ACID. It is literally my ‘musical lifeline'!' Ted PerlmanGrammy-nominated producer, songwriter, musician and arrangerCredentialsBurt Bacharach (At This Time; Grammy Winner), Dr.

Dre, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross NBC, CBS, FOX Jingles for McDonald's, Coca Cola, Burger King. 'ACID Pro was my creative weapon of choice for Blade Runner 2049, and in 2018 I received an Oscar nomination for my work on the film.

It lets me work so fast. Both cutting and layering audio clips and creating MIDI is a faster, more simplified workflow than any other DAW.

Yet it has all the features I need, whether composing or sound designing.' Theo GreenOscar-nominated sound designer and film music composerCredentialsBlade Runner 2049 (Oscar nominated for Best Sound Editing), The Gambler, House at the End of the Street.

'In just the first 3 days of working with the new ACID PRO 8 on the forth-coming Waterboys album, I am crazy thrilled to proclaim the new DAW interface, flexible routing and in-line editing combined with the new Stellar FX and Synth plugins and updated graphics. Overall the 64-Bit sonic quality makes ACID PRO 8 right out of the box a FIVE STAR SMASH HIT!' Brother Paul BrownGrammy-nominated producer, sound engineer and keyboard playerCredentialsThe Waterboys, Al Green, Bobby Rush (Down in Louisana; Grammy Nominated), Mike Farris, Ann Peebles, Jimi Jamison (Survivor). “When I first saw ACID 1.0 my jaw dropped.

I've been an ACID Pro user since the beginning as well as a loops for ACID producer. ACID makes chopping up and mixing audio seem like magic.

It's fast, intuitive, and inspiring.'

'It's impressive how a DAW this powerful feels so lightweight. Complex projects open and close nearly instant and the new UI is snappy and responsive. The dark UI is easy on the eyes but keeps the classic ACID look old fans of the software have grown to love. Version 8 has the most comprehensive sound and effects package bundled with ACID Pro to date.

Finally being able to use all of my 64 bit plugins in ACID is a dream come true.' Mac MeltoProducer, composer and Viacom library contributorCredentialsSONY/ATV, Viacom. 'The moment I was introduced to ACID Pro everything changed. It was the first DAW that made it super easy for sequencing, to create and manipulate loop-based content.

No longer did I have to fight for studio time because now I could work from home and get amazing results fast. (.) More than 20 years later, I’ve yet to find another program that has the same power and versatility as ACID Pro.

The latest version of ACID Pro 8 picks up where ACID Pro 7 leaves off, providing more stability, plug-in support and a sleeker look that’s easier on the eyes.”Curtis AtchisonProducer, DJ and remix artistCredentialsViacom library (Jersey Shore, MTV Show). “I've tried for years to get my head around the Top DAWs on the market — and despite their innovative concepts, nothing gets close to ACID Pro when it comes to workflow, ease of use and mind-to-music process. You won't open the user manual once because it just makes sense, which is why it truly deserves to be called The Creative DAW.'

From the beginning SOUND FORGE was the most versatile & complete audio editing software available. SOUND FORGE 12 Pro continues this great tradition, and has become indispensable for any serious audio project.”William GoldsteinGrammy-nominated film and TV composer, instant composer and former Motown recording artistCredentialsFame (MGM), The Miracle Worker (The Walt Disney Company), Happy Endings (CBS) Music for National Geographic, ABC and NBC. The process of music production begins with the composition of melodies and creating your own beats in the music software. Professionally pre-produced loops as well as other content are included within the program for musicians and producers. Loops are repetitive sequences that play drum rhythms or instrumental melodies, for instance. This can be combined really easily, meaning that even beginner users can quickly and simply put together a finished structure for their music track.In any music making software, it's possible to play your own melodies and and beats using virtual instruments, of course. Piano, guitars, violins, synthesizers and drums – simply connect a MIDI keyboard to your PC or laptop and start recording your own songs and vocals right away.

You can then combine your results with pre-made loops.Whether you choose Music Maker, ACID or Samplitude – our range of audio software enables you to compose, record and edit music. All you need to do is pick the right one for your needs. During song composition, the refrain or hook upon which the entire song is based is worked on first. The song is then arranged, meaning that the track structure is created. Verses, bridges, breaks and main themes are defined and arranged. Schematic arrangements may vary according to the music genre.Most contemporary pop and rock tracks begin with an intro, then continue with several verses, a bridge and a chorus before ending with an outro. Hip-hop, dancehall and some other genres include beats comprised of loops, which often play continuously throughout the track.

Once a song has a finished structure, the next step is the mixing process – the editing of individual instrument and vocal tracks in the audio editing software. During mixing, effects such as compressor, delay or reverb are applied to vocals and instruments, volume levels are equalized and tracks for stereo sound are split left and right.To aim of mixing is to achieve a level balance between rhythm instruments, backing instruments and vocals, and lead instruments and vocals. The song is now a tonal unit and is reduced to a single stereo track with left and right channels, known as the mixdown. Mastering is the last step in music production. This provides enhanced sound quality by applying specialist plug-ins such as various filters, equalizers or compressor to the audio material and filter out noise in tracks within the audio editing software.Before pressing your entire album or mixtape to CD, the mastering process equalizes the volume and frequency spectrum of separate tracks, sets gaps between songs and may also add fade outs to the end of tracks. This is to ensure that all songs on the CD have the same sound quality.For editing your own music with a professional touch, music software Samplitude Pro X and audio editor SOUND FORGE Pro are the right choice. Want to get the most out of your music?

After you've composed your song, it's time to start editing your music. Whether an entire track or a single sound – edit any part of a song the exact way you want. Apply effects such as compressor, delay and reverb to entire tracks or selected passages and add one-of-a-kind characteristics to instruments and recorded vocals. You can then adjust the volume of tracks to each other for an acoustically balanced, homogenous music production. Access outstanding audio editing and create the exact sound you've been looking for with music software from MAGIX.
