Sony Creative Software ACID Pro 6 Software

more info from Sony Creative Software

ACID Pro 6 from Sony Media Software is a loop-based music creation tool that allows for the production of original, royalty-free music. Songs can be created, tracks re-mixed, music beds developed, videos scored, and music for Web sites and Flash animations developed. The software features top quality automatic loop time-stretching and tempo-matching technology and is intuitive and easy to use with its straightforward pick, paint, and play functionality.

Source material can be pre-recorded loops in multiple genres, recorded hits or segments, complete songs, even MP3s. Multi-track recording and full MIDI sequencing have been added to ACID Pro 6. With unlimited tracks of audio and a simple interface, files are previewed, selected and dropped into place. Automatic real-time pitch-shifting, time-stretching, and groove quantization of audio and MIDI events takes the stress out of assembling perfectly synched music.

The software also supports video import. With the use of prerecorded audio, a soundtrack can easily be assembled. Even if the individual elements do not fit the hit points of the movie, with the use of markers and a few key strokes, the music can be slowed down or accelerated to hit as many points as required. Of course the user can control the volume, pan and effects on each track, and also produce drum fills, stutters, and DJ-style effects with Chopper, an included utility.

ACID Pro 6 software includes a custom edition of Native Instruments KOMPAKT. This full-featured VSTi sample playback engine comes bundled with over 120 instruments with the ability to download exclusive content.
