Artists on ACID Pro
Dimitri Vegas
DJ, Producer and Composer
"It’s had decades of use in my productions now and I’ve always kept ACID as one of my special studio tools. The creative freedom this piece of software has given me over the years has been incomparable. I love chopping up edits and cutting remixes on ACID Pro [...]. This latest and greatest version of ACID Pro is a very welcome update on one of my secret studio weapons."

Theo Green
Oscar nominated Sound Designer and Film Composer
"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. The quality of the mixdowns is clearer, less coloured than other DAWs. That's why ACID has always been a part of my composition process."

DJ Pain 1
Producer and DJ
"I've used the ACID program as my main DAW for all of my major records. I'm addicted to the quick workflow, one-key instant pitch shifting and its surgical slicing abilities. Now that ACID 8 is out, I can load up more virtual instruments and plug-ins than ever."

"ACID Pro has an optimized workflow for making dance music, and an excellent editing capability for recording & remixing.
Thanks to the happy update by MAGIX, I'm making my new songs in the 64-Bit environment. It gives me more power, therefore even making the most complex projects possible. And the huge number of new built-in plugins are very useful for me. More people should know about this great DAW! I love it!"

"In just the first 3 days of working with the new ACID PRO 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 right out of the box a FIVE STAR SMASH HIT!"

"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'!"

"As an MC, I grew tired of reaching out for beats, so I began making my own music. More people need to know about the ACID Pro workflow. Where many DAWs tend to be overcomplicated and intimidating, ACID is inviting to new and aspiring producers while it comforts seasoned pros."

"ACID Pro was the begining of our music production journey. This is where we learned the art of composition, sampling, recording and mixing. The ability to control individual samples in such a dynamic and fluid way has always stood out against other DAW platforms and continues to do so to this day. Along with an incredibly solid and reliable sound that holds up on even on the most complex of projects. With its new 64 bit architecture we're once again integrating ACID Pro into our workflow."

"I've been using ACID Pro since forever and the new ACID Pro is a real game changer. I've tried many DAWs, but ACID Pro always works best for me. It's fast, easy to use and have all you want in a DAW.
Soon to release my second album made 100% in ACID Pro just as my first album and all my remixes!"

"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. I have so many stories about ACID Pro. ACID Pro changed many lives including my own. Without ACID Pro I wouldn't be who I am today."

"I've been using ACID ever since I can remember. I've tried almost every other major DAW in the market and I always find myself coming back to ACID. There's a certain magic that can be created with it that can't be done anywhere else. It's ease of use, loop handling, and simple workflow sets it apart in the industry - and that's why everyone loves it. The new 64-Bit version opens a whole new world of creativity. It simply feels amazing to use 64-Bit plugins in ACID Pro!"

"What I loved about ACID Pro was how it's workflow was so quick especially when using stems/samples/loops which allowed me to remix songs quickly for other artists. The new ACID Pro follows suit plus with its new 64-Bit processing everything is much faster and has cut my production time almost in half!!"

"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."

"I've been using ACID for over a decade and ACID Pro 8 is signaling a new era for this amazing production tool.
I absolutely love the fact that MAGIX kept some of the important features of the old versions of ACID such as the Track EQ that is to me by far the best for my productions. Not mentioning the look and enhancement of all the functionalities of the software making it, even more, user-friendly. I'm not planning to move anywhere and I look forward to what the future brings for this great DAW."

"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.
ACID Pro has the most comprehensive sound and effects package bundled with ACID Pro to date, everything you need to start making music is there.
Finally being able to use all of my 64-bit plugins in ACID is a dream come true."

"The first time I tried ACID Pro 2, it became the only tool for my production because of its simplicity and easy to use interface.
I truly believe ACID Pro is the most powerful DAW that MAGIX has created. The new look with the 64-Bit interface gives my work more flexibility. Every day I discover something new in this software which helps me concentrate my love for music."

"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."

"I started using Acid Pro in the late 90's and have been using it ever since. I recently tried using a different DAW but soon came back to Acid! It's simplistic layout with the ability to deep dive makes it easy to get around. It has everything that is needed from getting those riff ideas down quickly to fully fledged completed productions!"
