ACID Music 3.0

Rating:
Summary: Easy to use, and pretty powerful
Review: Given that this is a stripped down version of some of Sonic Foundry's more powerful (and expensive) professional tools, Acid Music 3.0 is still a pleasant surprise. I had it set up on my computer within ten minutes, and with very little tutoring from the instruction guide, was able to browse to the music loop library, "paint" out loops on the multi-track display, modify loop characteristics like reverb and bass, and so forth. Obviously, Acid Music 3.0 doesn't easily stand alone. This software cannot generate its own unique loops, so I wound up having to find a MIDI program that would let me create original loops for making truly original music. But as a non-musician who hosts a radio program and is a bona fide electronic music fan, Acid Music 3.0 made it super easy to assemble my MIDI tracks into pretty good sounding pieces. I would recommend this program to anyone, musician or non-musician, interested in breaking into the world of digital computer music creation. It's been almost three months since my wife gave me my copy as a gift, and I've managed to put together many different kinds of pieces of music, using both original content and the great loops that come with the program. It's a lot of fun, and has me hungering to see what more I can do with the thing.

Summary: What a Suprise!
Review: I discovered this software by accident, while window shopping, and I ended up buying it and taking it home. I was able to get it up and running pretty quickly, and was creating my own music right out of the box. Of course it takes some time, but this program makes it possible to make some pretty good music in your spare time. Add a mic to your computer,and you can pretty much turn your computer into a recording/editing studio, make your own music and burn it to CD. Sounic Foundry also makes it easy to publish your work to the web, by providing an online community of Acid music-makers who review and comment on one anothers' work. You can also listen to music published by other users. Even if you're just a musical legend in your own living room, this makes it easy and fun to become just that. Sound Forge also sells music loops on CD especially for Acid, but you can find lots of free loops on the web that also work. Sound Forge also provides weekly samples for free on their Acid Planet website.

Summary: umm
Review: i have a question about this. I'm wondering if i can hook my guitar into my computer and record it and then like add drums and loops an stuff onto it. Is that possible on this program? Cause my friend has Acid Pro 4.0 and that is really awesome but it's like $400 and i dont have that kinda money. Wut i liked about Acid Pro 4.0 is that you could hook up ur guitar to the computer and stuff like that, so im wondering if you can do that on this program. If u have an answer for me, e-mail me at [e-mail] .

Summary: The best of the ACID Music series.
Review: This one is definately the best out of all of the previous ACID Music programs. It has a ton of loops, a really cool looking skin, and much more options than in ACID 1.0 or 2.0. It comes with two CDs. One of them has the application on it with some loops and the other CD has nothing but loops and demo songs! It has over 1,600 unique loops! Definately a good buy for those who really liked any of the previous ACID Musics.

Summary: Great for making original tunes quickly and easily.
Review: This product, as well as other software developed by Sonic Foundry, is used in the gaming industry. It was even used to make the music in Summoner! I've been using this product for a while, and I have made tunes like THAT and saving them as MP3s, WAVs, and so forth. Heck, if I make a digital home video or something, I can rig it with music by adding the music in with ACID Music! Get this if you want to make games with tunes, show off to friends and make them say "Damn! You couldn't have made this!", or if you got other reasons to make some good music without needing to hire an orcastra (eat your heart out, John Williams)!
