Software Reviews of ACID Music Studio 7
Customer Review: Super easy to use, lacking a bit in features
Summary: 3 Stars
ACID has to be the easiest sequencer to start out with. If you know the basic terminology of audio production, it will take you less than 5 minutes to be recording and arranging both audio and MIDI tracks.
If you're looking to create a demo or just record some of your own songs, this program is perfect. It still has its looping roots, so it excels at that too, but in the past couple of versions they have really beefed up the sequencer piece.
The included effects are useable. Nothing outstanding, but not horrible. They include a 3-band graphic EQ, a 7-band graphic EQ, a compressor, a delay, a chorus, a flanger/wah, a tremelo (amplitude mod.), and a reverb. There is also a distortion plug-in, but it is pretty useless as it sounds ugly.
Luckily, these effects can be easily supplemented with the vast number of free VST and DX plugins available around the web.
Effects can be assigned per track, or over the entire project. Busses can be created, but not saved. Apparently this is available in the Pro version.
The program is able to record in 8-bit or 16-bit (sadly, no 24-bit is enabled - you have to get the $200 Pro version for that). I would have loved to see 24-bit support, as my hardware supports it, but for $50 it's hard to complain.
Overall, if you're looking for a sequencer/DAW for under $100, this is the best of the bunch. If you're planning to move up to Cubase, Logic, or ProTools later, you might want to check out their "LE" versions, but for the amateur producer, it doesn't get much easier to start than with ACID.
