Acid pro 8 gearslutz how to#
ACID didn't always belong to MAGIX, and they do make Music Maker -) Bookmark Kraznet's YouTube Channel, and stay off of DAW discussion/comparison threads (Gearslutz, etc.) while you read the documentation and learn how to use the software. It actually does Loop-based composition quite well.
If you don't own a version of ACID Pro, then honestly go straight to Samplitude X4 Suite and just dedicate yourself to it. Ozone Standard 8 is also on sale there for $49, which is a steal for anyone, until you get more proficient at mastering manually.
Acid pro 8 gearslutz for free#
I'd also pick up the Union Wavetable Synth for $7.99 Plugin Boutique while that deal is still on - and you'll get Nectar 3 Elements for free with the purchase. AIR's stuff is pretty chepa on Plugin Boutique, and their Synths are fairly decent. Independence FX): Automatically work in ACID Pro 8.įor people just starting out, I recommend they keep ACID Pro 8 (if they already own it), buying Samplitude Pro X4 Suite on promotion ( as low as $149), and then use the money they save to get some "bread and butter" instruments/synth/effect plugins/sounds. So you end up with 30+ Vita 2 Solo Instruments after you add the Samplitude Pro X3 instruments they removed from Pro X4 (see Samplitude Pro official Forums). Vita 2 Instruments in Samplitude Pro X4 Suite that aren't in ACID Pro 8: Automatically work in ACID Pro 8. VANDAL, Analogue Modeling Suite Plus, VariVerb Pro, Vintage Effects Suite: All of these come with Samplitude Pro X4 Suite, and can be used in ACID Pro 9 by adding Samplitude's MAGIX Plugins directory to ACID Pro's VST Scan Path - or junctioning them to ACID Pro's MAGIX Plugins Directory - which I prefer doing, as it's cleaner. How often do you actually see yourself using something like this, and how good is it at what it does?ĬoreFX Suite: Redundant, and the base version only gives you some Modulation Plugins, anyways. Stem Separator: Factorable, but the edition that bundles this comes with a huge upcharge.MIDI Playable Chopper: Replaceable by relatively cheap Samplers.What it adds pretty much is irrelevant, since it's just: You said ACID Pro 8 is the version to go for, as it comes without the unecessary bells & whistles for people using core features only, and is the main engine that's being actively debugged / improved. It's just as well-equipped (and arguably better equipped than ACID Pro, which is still a useful tool even in if you use Samplitude as your main DAW. If people can do EDM in Pro Tools (and many do), you sure as hell can do it in Samplitude. Use ACID Pro, but when you graduate and need more power from your DAW, you'll have a viable option. Generally, I would suggest getting Samplitude. You can go to Plugin Boutique and get reputable Samplers that do that for < $40.
Acid pro 8 gearslutz upgrade#
It's nothing like the metering in WaveLab Pro or Samplitude.Īnd if you aren't going to go to Pro Next, then I struggle to find a reason to upgrade off of ACID Pro 8, since MAGIX is fixing most of the biggest offending bugs in that version - and back-porting the UI/UX enhancements from Pro 8. The coreFX plugins are redundant and unnecessary, and the metering is nothing moreo than the Metering ported from Sound Forge Pro 11/12 into ACID Pro 9. If you don't need that, then honestly you don't need Pro Next. I don't find it to be that good for Production - so I'd only invest primarily in it if I were generally going to be using loops for 75% (or more) of my work.Īside from that, the reason to get Pro Next would be the zynaptic STEM Maker. ACID Pro is more like an Arrangement Workspace. Do you only make music with Loops, or do you also use Synths, Samples, etc.?Ĭompare also to Samplitude Pro X4 Suite, which can be had for cheaper than ACID Pro Next, never mind Pro Next Suite.
