The fast and easy way to build a song!

ACID Pro 7 represents an incredible value for the PC-based studio. To start the creative process, you get over 3,000 loops and 1,000 MIDI files right out of the box - and that's in addition to a potent effects rack powered by iZotope and great-sounding virtual instruments, including Native Instruments' Guitar Combos software and Submersible Music's KitCore. What's more, control over MIDI data is better than it's ever been, as ACID Pro 7 sports real-time MIDI automation, quantization, and deep editing functionality. Plus, ACID Pro 7 boasts a new time-stretching feature.

Professional multitracking and MIDI
For uncompromising 24-bit/192kHz sound quality production live or in studio, ACID Pro 7 software has an expanded set of features for maximum audio performance. Whether users are recording in the studio or creating MIDI-based studio sequences, ACID Pro 7 software is the optimal platform for reliable multitrack production. MIDI has been bolstered in ACID Pro 7, as well, with real time MIDI processing and precise control over MIDI events. Use track envelopes to automate and modify MIDI controller data over time. Other features let users apply real time MIDI quantization, create drum patterns, edit MIDI event lists, and step record. ACID Pro 7 users can freeze MIDI tracks that are routed to multiple soft synths and render them as .wav files to save CPU processing power and increase productivity during a session.

Mixing and editing
ACID Pro 7 software has a dedicated mixing console for a flexible and efficient recording environment. Specify routing, assign audio effects, and use external effects processors with tracks and busses. ACID Pro 7 software also supports control surface automation and channel tracking for devices such as the Mackie Control and Frontier Design TranzPort. The new mixing console visually represents audio signals in a project and provides additional routing options. This allows for a more flexible and efficient in-studio recording environment. The mixing console provides an integrated view of all tracks and busses in an ACID Pro project with the appearance of a traditional hardware-based mixer.

Loop-based creation
ACID Pro 7 software has all the core features found in previous versions: automatic pitch and tempo matching, real time loop previewing, unlimited tracks, and our signature pick/paint/play interface. ACID Pro 7 software also includes over 3,000 ACIDized loops and 1,000 MIDI files so users can start creating music right out of the box. Transform loops and MIDI tracks into fresh, new sounds with powerful quantization tools. Use the Chopper window to create drum fills, stutters, and DJ-style effects. Remix songs with standard or multiple tempos with the Beatmapper remix tool. Further manipulate loops with real time event reverse and freehand envelope drawing.
