Sonic Foundry sold its Acid, Vegas, Sound Forge, CD Architect, Siren, VideoFactory, ScreenBlast, and Batch Converter product lines to Sony Pictures Digital in July 2003 the merger resulted in the new Sony Creative Software division. The software became very popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s among composers, producers, and DJs interested in quickly creating beats, music textures, or complete compositions and orchestrations, that would work with virtually any tempo or key signature. It was a loop-based music sequencer, in which Acid Loop files could be simply drag-and-dropped then automatically adjust to the tempo and key of a song with virtually no sonic degradation.ДЄ website for budding musicians using Acid technology was set up, named. This offer expired on 31 May Sony sent me an email about it on 2 April.Acid was first launched in 1998, as Acid pH1, by Sonic Foundry in Madison, Wisconsin. There was a special price for upgrading older versions of Acid to Acid 6. They list a number of other new features too, including punch-in recording, envelope automation recording lots of other new MIDI goodies, ATRAC support and even Gracenote MusicID to save a bit of typing for all you CD remixers out there. Record input monitoring - Monitor audio signals with real-time track effect DSP during recording sessions.Version 6 natively supports the Mackie Control Universal and the Frontier Design Tranzport, and allows custom mapping of up to five user-defined control surfaces. External control surface support - Hands-on mixing using external hardware.Dynamic playback optimization - On multiprocessor or multicore computers, processing is distributed evenly across all CPUs to increase playback performance.Project sections - Create project sections that let users more efficiently rearrange time-based segments of audio and MIDI events located across multiple tracks.Drum Map editing - The Drum Map Editor provides an intuitive way to create custom Drum Map templates, to make working in the Drum Grid even easier.VSTi parameter automation - Using automation envelopes, ACID Pro 6 software provides increased mixing flexibility for VST instrument parameters.MIDI filtering and processing - Process MIDI data directly on the timeline, including quantization, swing, editing of velocity values, event duration changes, and more.Edit all note position, velocity, pitch bend, and controller information using an easy, visual approach in the main multitrack interface. Inline MIDI editing - MIDI data can be manipulated directly on the ACID timeline, using either a piano roll or a drum grid interface.

Multiple media files per track - Layout multiple media files per track, including one-shots, Beatmapped events, loops and disk-based files with new automatic crossfade capabilities.

Multitrack audio and MIDI recording - Simultaneously record multiple tracks of audio and MIDI into the ACID timeline through a variety of methods, including step recording, punch in/out, continuous looping and more.

The press release summarises the other new features: As usual, вЂњspecialвЂќ means вЂњreducedвЂќ, but it still includes 2 Gigabytes of instruments and online access to more from SonyвЂ™s website. Acid 6 also supports control surfaces like the lovely Tranzport - they really are moving more to the serious end of the music-making spectrum.ДЄnother big new inclusion is a special version of the Kompakt sample player from Native Instruments. In particular, the ability to edit MIDI data using the traditional piano roll interface makes Acid a lot more attractive to the laptop studio musician.

They call version 6 вЂњThe most significant upgrade in ACID history, but then they would say that, wouldnвЂ™t they? The most important new features are multitrack recording and full MIDI functionality, meaning Acid could now conceivably be used as your main (or even only) application for creating new music.
