YOU GOT AN IDEA - ACID HAS THE TOOLS.
ACID Pro 10 is the creative DAW for today's artist and producer. Behind its refined and sleek interface lies a powerful, fully-featured DAW where sophisticated tools sit side-by-side with an easy workflow. 64-bit power allows even the most complex of projects to be handled with ease, while dozens of instruments and effects combine with thousands of ACIDized loops to result in the ultimate DAW for music composition. ACID defined loop-based music production 20 years ago, and now ACID Pro 10 refines it for today's creative musician.
Sampling is just the beginning. Get animated by ACID Pro.
ACID's many features include the Beatmapper and Chopper tools which make sampling and remixing easy. The Beatmapper helps you identify tempo and time signature information from external audio files. Analyze any sample and set up new projects to match its tempo. Chop up audio samples with the MIDI Playable Chopper and create impressive drum fills, stutters and DJ effects. The combination of MIDI Playable Chopper and Beatmapper make ACID Pro 10 a powerful DAW for everyone who enjoys sample-based music production.
MIDI Playable Chopper
The all-new MIDI Playable Chopper brings MPC-style performance sampling and Hip Hop beat creation to ACID Pro 10. Play samples from loops, beats and from drum kits – perform and record the results as audio events for instant remixing. Packed with the new time-saving Auto Slice function, the MIDI Playable Chopper also features a brand-new transient detection for Automated Marker Placement. It is a perfect way to play around with drum loops and mark them with 8th, 16th or 32th notes. Play, record, jam – ACID is your new performance instrument!
Chopper
Chopper is a tool that allows you to slice and dice an audio file so you can re-order, remix, change its groove and replay it. It creates amazing rhythmic variations of the original audio and you can create many of your own customized samples from one original loop. Chopped events will play in sync with your ACID Pro 10 projects, and you can even use keyboard commands to drop events from the Chopper onto the timeline in real time.
Beatmapper
Beatmapper offers a super fast and slick process to remix music in ACID Pro 10. It identifies the tempo and time signature information in external audio files – including MP3s and complete songs – and allows you to label and edit the file with that information. You can then create Beatmap songs and when other clips are added, they all lock to the tempo of the imported file allowing quick and easy remixing. Beatmapped audio files can also have their tempos and pitches edited for maximum flexibility
The next generation. In sampling music.
ACID has always used groundbreaking audio technology for producing music, seamlessly allowing you to mix and match sample pitches and tempos. Now ACID Pro 10 brings the next generation of sampling to the masses with an all-new audio file separation technology.
zynaptiq STEM MAKER 2
ACID Pro 10 is the only DAW which features an integrated audio separation powered by zynaptiq technology. STEM MAKER 2 uses deep learning and patent-pending DSP algorithms to split your tracks into beats, vocals and music. Use the resulting stems in your own tunes and to remix. Powered by an improved separation technology, STEM MAKER 2 introduces a new era of sampling and remixing.

ACID's new ACID Morph Pads can also be automated, helping you to become a world-class sound designer and remixer!
Multitrack recording
ACID Pro 10 offers uncompromising 24-bit, 192kHz multitrack audio recording. With an array of pro-level features, it is equally at home being used for the recording an entire band in the studio - as it is for creating loop or MIDI-based compositions on the road or at home.
High-fidelity audio
ACID Pro 10 has a 64-bit engine and really works with your PC to bring maximum power and efficiency to your music making. Whether you are making 24-bit, 192kHz multitrack recordings, mixing with multiple effects in real time, or composing with the dozens of plug-in instruments, ACID Pro 10 will step up to the plate and offer you all the latency free power you need.
Arrange Tools
ACID Pro10 offers many creative tools for today's producer. It's easy to divide your project into logical sections and then arrange them on the timeline. Tracks can be organized by placing them into Track Folders and then cluster editing allows you to drag, pitch-shift, cut, copy, and paste whole sections of an arrangement to help you easily create complete tunes.
MIDI - but without the mess. Audio control and MIDI in ACID Pro.
ACID Pro features some incredibly comprehensive, sophisticated and precise MIDI editing features. These include direct MIDI editing of data within the timeline, track freeze to audio, Keyframe automation and flexible drum editing. You get all the MIDI features you would expect from a high-end DAW - but: With user-friendly tools and clear editing environments. MIDI control in ACID is intuitive, fun and hassle free.
Inline Editing
Inline Editing allows you alter MIDI data directly in ACID's timeline within traditional piano roll and drum grid interfaces. You can edit note positions, velocities, pitch bends and controller information all on the main multitrack interface so there's no need to open another edit window. Drum grid mode ACID Pro 10 is easy and intuitive:
The Drum Grid Mode
is the way of editing beats directly on the software's timeline. The grid style edit window shows all the drum parts and you can easily move, add or delete beats.
MIDI track freeze
This allows you to turn MIDI tracks that are being triggered by software instruments into audio. Freezing a track like this means less instruments need to be running in real time so it conserves valuable CPU processing power.
MIDI filtering and processing
Processing of multiple events or tracks of MIDI data can also be done directly on the ACID Pro 10 timeline. You can use quantization and global editing of velocity values, note event duration and more.
MIDI track envelopes and keyframes
ACID Pro 10 utilizes envelope and keyframe automation features. All MIDI continuous controller data are used to edit parameters like pitch, modulation and expression – or indeed the controls of a soft synth – can be modified with smooth transitions. You can also use envelopes and keyframes on individual clips or make larger, project-wide changes.
Drum and patch map editors
Within ACID Pro 10 you can efficiently create and edit drum maps. This means that you can use templates to label patch and drum names for hardware or software-based MIDI synthesizers and drum machines. Templates can also be easily saved and recalled.
VST2/VST3 Engine with 32-bit bridge
With both the new VST2/VST3 engine and the 32-bit bridge you can run the latest plug-ins in ACID Pro and even bring your favourite older plug-ins into its sleek 64-bit ACID environment.
ARA2 support
ACID Pro 10 is now ARA2 compatible - for a more efficient interaction with other ARA2 plug-ins. This enables real-time audio editing, a much faster workflow and an improved user experience.
Get in the groove. Audio editing and mixing power
ACID invented the standard when it came to real-time audio editing and now ACID Pro has some of the most powerful audio features in any DAW. These include the famous ACID real-time pitch and time-stretching, and sophisticated groove mapping where you can extract a groove from a loop and apply it to any audio file.
