So, i'm not sure how late I am in this post.And i'm not sure if I am reinstating anything that someone else may have posted cause, frankly, all the posts I read(about the first 10) were ignorant opinions on two sides. Richard Thompson Posts: 540 Joined: Sun 9:49 pm Don't want or need that much MIDI and just want to work exclusively in the audio realm? SF's products are a force to reckoned with. Want an "all-in-one" type of program? Sonar (or even Cubase or Logic) just might be your bag.

It just all depends what you're looking for in a program. So, again, it really comes down to this: Both are powerful. If such a name is to stem action to fix the bugs and to add more features in ACID Pro, that's not being constructive or helpful it's being a little hurtful and destructive. (All of you advanced users of ACID Pro must know that.) I would hardly call it a toy. Although it looks simple on the surface, it's really quite powerful once you get past its almost-too-simple interface. (Is that project they show even usable?) I almost get the feeling Cakewalk is trying to show all the bells and whistles at once to impress me. When you take a look at the sample screenshot of Sonar that Cakewalk gives on their site, you can't help but feel overwhelmed. (I used to wean myself on Cakewalk Express way back when.) However, the weakness with Sonar is, IMHO, its interface. I would bet all these problems stem from computer hardware/software configuration. I can also vouch for people having problems with Sonar. Sure, there's the niggling bug or two, but nothing life-stopping for me. I'll also say it again: I have no problems using ACID Pro 3. It is meant to compliment the other wonderful programs from Sonic Foundry (Sound Forge and Vegas Audio anyone?). (I feel like a broken record when I say that.) ACID is the king of loop-based music production in my world. Which brings me to another issue: ACID is not, nor will(should?) ever be a, "be-all, end-all" program. I don't really need it, as I can record what I need separately in Sound Forge and bring it into ACID.

Quite frankly, MIDI is great for interfacing instruments and equipment with software and all, but as a composition tool? Eh. That's no big deal to me, as I don't use a lot of MIDI (if at all) anyway. The weakest thing I can find in ACID is that it has no MIDI editing support. The most basic reason is because there's a program that finally lets me express the music I want to make. It all depends on what you're looking for in a program. Look, each program has its strength and its weaknesses. OK, everyone, before this turns into a flame war.

I'll just plug-in my VST or DXi sampler or synth here.ooops, doesn't have ANY standards support.īottom line, any integrated and complete Acid-compatible app is going to have a longer manual than Acid-probably because IT CAN DO WAY MORE. And try to fire up a synth or a sampler inside to render out to your master.ooops, it doesn't have any at all.

It doesn't treat midi or audio as some bastard interloper to be tolerated but abused like Acid does.

Sonar has FULL midi/sequencer support-piano-roll editing, etc. It's a toy for kids to goof around with loops, especially since 3.0c is so buggy only a kid would tolerate the zaps and glitches in the audio. Acid has extremely limited midi features and virtually no audio record, no synths, no samplers, no standards support (ReWire/DXi/VST). Since you mention midi and the price of Sonar is not a barrier there is no reason to consider Acid.

If that was the case then why did you buy acid in the first place? If you want amazing midi capabilities with rock solid timing then I would recommend the latest version of cubase.They "LTB" technology.linear time based.If you buy a product called the MIDEX 8,then all of the midi timing will be controlled by the outboard gear and you'll have an amazingly tight timing of all of your gear.up midex8. Unless of course you are in desparate need of midi capabilities. I can't see what the big deal is on this product because if you combine the features of both vegas audio+ acid+soundforge.you should be set. If you got the cash to spend then get it.I useCubase and wavelab for some stuff like midi in conjunction with SoFo stuff.
