Description

This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable.

MAGIX Entertainment ACID Pro 9 is a creative DAW that marries an easy-to-use workflow with pro-level features to provide artists and musicians with an inspiring, loop-based environment to compose, remix, record, edit, and mix their songs. The software features a 64-bit engine that utilises the full power of your Windows computer to handle multitrack recording of high-fidelity audio at up to 24-bit / 192kHz or compose and mix with dozens of instrument and effects plug-ins running in real time, all with low latency.

ACID Pro 9 comes with sixteen instruments including pop and urban drums, synths, pianos, basses, choirs, and more. 9GB of ACIDized loops and soundscapes with pitch, length, and transient data can be edited, manipulated, and mixed together in real time to create original grooves in a wide variety of genres, from metal and trap to EDM and hip hop. The software offers comprehensive and precise MIDI editing features for editing MIDI data within the timeline, MIDI filtering and processing, track-freeze to audio, Keyframe automation, and flexible drum editing in Drum Grid mode.

Remixing is fast and easy with powerful tools such as Beatmapper, which identifies the tempo and time signature information in external audio files and applies it to your project, and Chopper, which slices and dices audio files to create rhythmic variations of the original audio or new samples from the original loop, in sync with your project. Also included is Zplane élastique for real-time and artefact-free time stretching and pitch shifting of your audio files.

The mixing console looks like a traditional studio mixer but can be customised to match your unique workflow. It provides a flexible recording environment with a variety of routing options that lets you assign plug-in effects, work with external MIDI devices, use external effect processors on tracks and busses, create complex sub-mixes with bus-to-bus routing, while monitoring everything in real time. The essentialFX Suite provides a collection of eleven essential studio effects including reverb, delay, AEQ, compressor, modulation, de-esser, and more. Also available are the am|track SOE vintage analogue compressor plug-in and the Vandal SOE suite of guitar and bass effects racks, which accurately model stompboxes, guitar amps, and speaker cabinets.

When ready to share your music, ACID Pro 9 lets you burn audio CDs directly from the timeline or encode your mixes in all the popular streaming formats used online and in portable media players.
