I no longer feel like its going to crash if i give it more than it should handle. vst pluggins are extremely welcomed (i just ordered a t.c. powercore, my uad card thanks you). the reverse is cool,folder tracks are a blessing, you also got the mute right for tracks with aux sends. the groove thing is cool, but its something you have to expierment with. rewire slave will allow acid to intergrate into other programs who would have never used acid standalone. this could only increase the user base. cons: sort of my only problem with rewire slave is that ceartain songs wont play because of certain waves or uad pluggins.but i understand why. so with certain existing songs it may not work but for new songs its amazing. i wouldn't say its a con, its more of a change in wokflow. midi: i dont require much more in the sequencing department than what a5 already gives me, but the one thing that stops me from using acid for midi is THE PIANO ROLL EDITOR DOES NOT PLAY/SCROLL WITH THE REST OF YOUR PROJECT.(sorry for that). imho this and maybe midi pluggins is all that most people would need to be satisfied with midiin A5 but theres always acid6 or 5b hint,hint,hint. thank you sony for giving us a confident ACID5

dear, SONY team

ive only just begun using acid5 but so far im very proud to use this product.
you have included most of my wishlist

pros:
acid5 seems more robust,so much smoother using asio and vsti's. I no longer feel like its going to crash if i give it more than it should handle.

vst pluggins are extremely welcomed (i just ordered a t.c. powercore, my uad card thanks you).

the reverse is cool,folder tracks are a blessing, you also got the mute right for tracks with aux sends.

the groove thing is cool, but its something you have to expierment with.

rewire slave will allow acid to intergrate into other programs who would have never used acid standalone. this could only increase the user base.

cons: sort of

my only problem with rewire slave is that ceartain songs wont play because of certain waves or uad pluggins.but i understand why.
so with certain existing songs it may not work but for new songs its amazing.
i wouldn't say its a con, its more of a change in wokflow.

midi:
i dont require much more in the sequencing department than what a5 already gives me, but the one thing that stops me from using acid for midi is THE PIANO ROLL EDITOR DOES NOT PLAY/SCROLL WITH THE REST OF YOUR PROJECT.(sorry for that).

imho this and maybe midi pluggins is all that most people would need to be satisfied with midiin A5 but theres always acid6 or 5b hint,hint,hint.

thank you sony for giving us a confident ACID5
