A living forum where users can talk shop and ask questions (like this one, but for a product that is alive and active, rather than this semi-graveyard of a forum).ĥ. The Beat Mapping system is close, but could use a little work.Ĥ. A beat quantizer more like Abelton's, where everything just 'clicks' in to the correct beat. I'm sure with the right marketing Magix will see how many people are willing to do the same.ģ. I've said over and over than I would happily pay $300+ for a 64bit version of Acid Pro. I record/edit/mix/master everything I do on ACID and rarely think of something I want to do that the program isn't capable of. It's my favourite DAW I've ever come across, and has so few limitations. I REALLY hope they continue to work on Acid Pro. I hope I am wrong - but the market for a loop DAW stuck with tools that were cute in 2003 does not seem all that necessary in 2016 (and beyond) Selling 58 copies of a mildly updated AP8 to the 58 people left on this Acid board is probably not worth the effort to update it.Ĭonversely - if they decide to rip AP down and start over with a v8 that would actually peak the interest of a larger audience - then maybe we have a reason to dream.īut just because Magix got the "Acid" property as part of the SMS sale - does not mean they will suddenly stick 6 full time developers on it and make it rise from the ashes While I am no financial wizard - and have no idea what the actual paying customer base is for SMS apps in general - I cannot see how any market share for AP exists now.įrom the Magix side of things - unless there is a huge untapped AP user community that I am totally unaware of - if given the choice between the potential cash flow for SMS Vegas vs the potential for SMS AP - I just do not see any incentive for them to do anything to AP. Studio One (for me anyway) runs the entire AP application into the ground - including it's so called "smart grid" and whatever midi editing passes for in AP.īottom line tho - acquisitions are always 100% about money - and Magix will place the appropriate resources and effort into those SMS apps that will make money for them. I guess it depends on your "user" experience and what applications you have used extensively (besides AP). But you forget that Acid Pro's "Smart" Grid, and In-Line Midi editing has never been defeated user experience wise
