Sony have a special upgrade discount running until the 31st of may...£69/$129.
but you bought acid pro 5 NOW, so it should have been a free upgrade as it had never been registered...weird..

That free upgrade from ACID Pro 5 expired May 3rd. There was a 60 day window to get the free upgrade and it centered around the "official" ACID Pro 6 release date,April 3rd, 2006. Anyone buying ACID Pro 5 (30) days prior or after the release date, (March 3rd-May 3rd) was eligible for a free upgrade. I believe you had to furnish a valid purchase receipt, from a retailer, and send in a request form, with your name & address, if you did not buy it, from Sony Media's online webshop.

My compliments to the Beta Testers.

This has been the most solid release yet.

I'm still looking forward to 6.0b or 6.0c, personally

Me too. Historically the c's seem to sit best with me. Same with FLStudio, it's 5.02c that i find to suit me most.

It's the only key I play comfortably on keyboards...

I though the keyboard went "c, less tuned c, even more detuned c etc"

As for the black keys, i thought they were just a proponent of political correctness.

Does anyone know if ACID 6 has a CPU meter? According to this article ACID 5 does not.

I suppose the Windows task manager will do.

I certainly cannot find any CPU meter in ACID 6. While it's not a deal breaker I am surprised Sony have left this out of V.6 or am I missing something?

host cpu meters usually suck.

I don't see the point of them to be honest. I know some people do, and fair enough, but i think this way - if i'm not hearing crackling or getting lag, then i'm ok, if i am, then i'm not...it's a crazy irresponsible way to do things, but that's me, i'm a crazy crazy guy.

I guess it's no biggie as such but rather a...nice to have

I agree. It would be helpful, because ACID Pro 6, like its predecessors, tends to announce any capacity limits, internal struggles etc by simply locking up solid, requiring a hard re-boot...

awaiting a better, more stable 6.0b, ideally able to run Jamstix grrrrrrrrrr

FYI,

The Acid Pro 6.0a update was just released today.

Cheers,

Randy

Thanks, Randy. They'll probably send me an e-mail in three weeks to let me know...
