Tascam US-122 -ACID Product Family - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:Tascam US-122 Posted by: masspark Date:6/11/2004 1:20:20 PM I just purchased the Tascam US-122 USB Audio/Midi interface. I have been using Acid 4.0 Express as a newbie. Would the $69.99 upgrade to Acid 4.0 be worthwhile or should I be considering Acid Pro 4.0? Does Acid 4.0 have midi import capabilities? Thank you for your input. Richard
Subject:RE: Tascam US-122 Reply by: Iacobus Date:6/11/2004 7:11:38 PM Hi Richard, If you want to use the 24-bit resolution the US-122 is capable of, you will have to go for ACID Pro, as it's the only version of ACID that can do that bit-depth. You may want to take a look at the comparison chart for the ACID family of products. All the versions can do MIDI playback, but only ACID Pro can do MIDI recording (amongst other things), for example. If I had a choice, I'd go for ACID Pro, if only because the features are there when you need it. (You never know when you will need them.)

I think I will stay put for a month or so unless this Xpress Version restricts me too much with my Tascam. My best, Richard
