 poor sound quality June 24, 2008
Gregory E. Lucas (New Castle, Delaware)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Don't buy this! The quality of sound you will get on your recordings is quite poor. I used to use a free dowloaded program called Audacity that worked so well. I got this ACID program on my knew computer. I am so unhappy with this product. It's okay for listening to myself from a practice standpoint, but the sound is muffled a little. I'm a classical guitarist. This is awful for my purposes of making CD's for people as gifts. And yes, I know all about settings, advanced settings, sound supression, etc. It's the program. Not me.
Crashed Computer, Poor Support. May 10, 2008

This software crashed my computer. The support was rude and they would not accept a return. I am stuck with $70 of useless software and Sony did not care at all. Very poor Customer Support.
 A Great Software! March 13, 2008

Awesome, amazing, excellent, flawless. These are just some of the words that can be used to describe Acid Music Studio 7 - a software that allows you to produce original, high quality music. What this tool can do for you is simply astonishing, to say the least. You definitely get your money's worth, that's for sure.
Acid Music Studio 7 is ideal for anyone who's ever thought about producing music, regardless of what genre they're into: Techno, Hip Hop, Rock, Country... no problem. In fact, there's no other software I would recommend more than this one. It's flexible, powerful, and quite possibly the most user friendly software of its kind on the market today. As far as I'm concerned, you can't really make this software any more user-friendly than it already is. And although there are other, much more expensive products of this kind on the market, like, Cubase and Pro Tools (which I've taken for a test drive before), why would you want to pay multiple times more for a product that gives you the same results? Unless you're a professional music producer and you fear "looking unprofessional" in front of your peers for working with a software that costs less than a hundred bucks - that's understandable. Otherwise, forget it.
Beginners will be pleased to know that this software comes with a ton of pre-composed music files to get you started and give you some good practice. Most of these music files are "loops" but there are also many samples of snares, kicks, hats, stabs, strings, and other one-shots. This allows you to be as creative as you want. You can also modify each loop through a wide range of options, such as chopping them to bits and pieces, moving them around wherever you want, changing the volumes and pitches, mixing them with other sounds and even adding some effects to them. You can also record your vocals into it for a live session. With this software, the user is always in control. You can produce whatever music you want, at whatever level you want. The quality of the music files, by the way, is top notch CD quality. You can create your own mp3s and export them to your favorite player or burn them onto a CD.
For more advanced users, you can plug in your music keyboard to your computer or use any synthesizer software, such as FL Studio, for example, to compose your own, 100 % original music from scratch. If you have the interest for this kind of stuff, you'll be able to master this software very easily. Don't be fooled by reviewers who give this software anything less than five stars. This product is gold! I've been using Acid 2 for years and recently upgraded to Acid 7 and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. It's fun, it's easy to use, and it's suitable for people of all ages and skill level. Excellent for beginners and excellent for pros.
I highly recommend it!
Worthless for analog recording February 20, 2008
Alec Guinness (Los Angeles, CA USA)
7 out of 12 found this review helpful
There is a good liklihood that you will problems with this program when recording multiple analog tracks (like when you use the microphone). The program is unable to correctly identify your computer's recording latency and so.... you have to set it manually. Getting the latency just right, so there is no delay between the track you are recording and the one you recorded before it is very time consuming. I've spent over an hour and still haven't gotten it just right. Sony knows about this problem, yet they haven't bothered to write a patch to fix it.
Great for budding artists! November 1, 2007

I am actually a singer and was skeptical at first as to what Sony Acid can do for me. I have been amazed at the amount of effects you can play around with your voice. I am using this with a TASCAM US-144 ($150) and a Samson C15 ($50) and of course an XLR cable to connect the two ($15). You would need a Pop filter for the Mic ($20) and for under $300 (including Acid) you can have your own professional home studio for vocal/instrumental recording. Not to mention the fact that you can get loops of music that you can use if you can't play an instrument. Nothing will stop me now!!! Muahahhahhah! Lol...seriously though, good software!!!
