Overview

Music production reformulated.

In the world of digital music creation, Sony ACID Pro music software has always stood out from the crowd. Its automatic loop time-stretching and tempo-matching technology is second-to-none, and its straightforward pick, paint, and play functionality has helped make ACID Pro software the favorite loop-based music composition tool for millions of users worldwide. Now reformulated to add multitrack recording and full MIDI sequencing to its superior looping functionality, ACID Pro 6 software delivers a new formula for ground-breaking audio creation: loops + multitrack + MIDI. Together, these key components add up to a full-featured professional music workstation unlike any other.
