I REALLY wanted to play around with ACID Pro again since that is what I started with like 20 years ago. I have been demoing it for a couple days now and it is completely unusable. It crashes A LOT. I do not understand how anyone would buy this now after they demo it. Maybe if you ONLY use loops you won't run into a lot of problems but when using third party instruments the DAW crashed a lot. This is so sad because I really wanted to use this again because I loved it so much. It is a shame MAGIX isn't adept enough to take care of this great program.

Also I went on the forum and saw many similar complaints about 10. People were asking them to fix 10 before releasing 11 but obviously they did not listen. I would of felt like the biggest sucker if I bought this without demoing it because it is pretty much unusable in it's current state. So disappointing.

In short, don't buy this garbage.

I bought Acid Pro 10 and that was a buggy mess. Magix said they would fix bugs and instead released Acid Pro 11 which I have heard on the forums is just a rebranded Acid Pro 10 with all the same bugs.

I would stay way clear of Magix, I would not trust them.

Me few years ago :
Its VST support is really bad since the beginning.
ReWire is a way to live with Acid Pro

RIP ReWire

I've used ACID Pro since version 6 - Version 10 about 8 months ago simply stopped allowing me to see me VST plug ins. I could add them from the list but then no GUI would show up - you could manually set parameters on some - but that is stupid.I migrated to Reaper. Apparently there is still plug in issues with the product which is sad.

Last version I had was 8 I think. It worked ok IIRC, that was win 8 tho.

I think its fine if you avoid VST3. A lot of the issues there lie in that part of it. That's increasingly hard to do, though.

Acid Pro 10 Suite works great for me. Quite stable and efficient. Although not as robust as some other full-featured DAWs, it does very well at what it was designed to do.

Acid Pro 11 Is A Buggy Mess
