No one (except the folks at SF I suppose) knows for sure when ACID 3 will be here, but we can rest assured knowing that it's soon. Judging from the recent and numerous package deals (the free ACID Style loops, ACID sampler loop pack, Style Stations, free ACID PRO 2 deal, etc), one could assert that Sonic Foundry is pushing the ACID 2 line clearance-style to make room for ACID 3. You know, like those silly car commercials. "WE'RE MAKING ROOM FOR ALL OUR 2002 MODELS, SO ALL THE 2001 MODELS MUST GO! SALE SALE SALE!!!" I'd say in the next couple months, if not sooner. That's just a guess though. Nick LaMartina |

here's what was said on acidplanet on 4/2/01: >>The ACID 3.0 public beta will more than likely be available in a few weeks. Yep, it's got MIDI, a video track, beatmapper, chopper, etc. Very cool. But I want to give you a heads up on something that will be a big deal to some of you. It will not run on NT. ACID 3.0 uses components from DirectX 8.0 that cannot be installed on Windows NT. That is Microsoft's choice, not ours. For whatever reason, I'm sure it's a disappointment if you're an NT user. You will need to choose for yourself whether you want to keep using NT or not. Microsoft's choice to discontinue support for NT in DX8 means that this scenario will occur over and over. We are not the only company whose new releases will not support NT.

Hear that sound? That's my jaw hitting the floor. MIDI? Video track? Beat mapper? DirectX 8? It sounds like Sound Forge, Acid, and Vegas all in one (with a little bit of Cakewalk!). I feel like it's Christmas time already! =) Nick LaMartina |

MIDI?!! i really wonder how they are planning to implement MIDI in Acid exactly. just imagine playing a real time, timestretched Acid loop on your Midi keyboard... and this sound going real time thru FX 1, 2 and 3.... drool! ok back to reality now. likely it's Midi as it has now, i.e. you can sync Acid with another program, but only if you have the correct device and troublesome stuff like that...sigh. |

Of course, "has MIDI" could mean a huge variety of things. All I want is for it to be setup for live remixing. And's it's not like 2.0 was all that far from it. It just needs not have that horrible pause when "loop mode" is turned off during playback. With a fast enough computer, 2.0 handled mute on/off and even new dragged in loops without even a stutter, but the big glitch when turning on/off "loop mode" made it worthless for live. Hex |

Yes, it does like SONAR. But the curious thing is that SONAR also seems to borrow a lot of what was in ACID Pro 2.0, to the extent that some people are saying that they can do everything in SONAR that they used to do in ACID pro. For example, it has an explorer view pretty much like ACID that allows double-clicking on wav files to play them and dragging n' dropping onto the track view. SONAR also has real-time time-stretching and pitch-shifting. Methinks that Sonic Foundry and Cakewalk have done some sort of mutual deal, i.e., Cakewalk getting the time-stretching and pitch-shifting algorithms and Sonic Foundry the MIDI stuff. Just my 2 cents, of course. |

Yes, you can do everything in SONAR that you used to do in ACID Pro + lot more. If you have loops that aren't acidised, you can do that right there in SONAR, in one second. |
