Almost everyone has upgraded these to WAV, already.Īll of MAGIX's Soundpools were made available as WAV files about a year ago.

It's likely that almost no one using this DAW is using it with Ogg Vorbis Loop Files, so the testing in this area is probably not as comprehensive (they are fixing some MP3 bugs in the latest Betas, though). Put in a support request with MAGIX, and send them a sample file (from their own Soundpools - cause EULAs, etc.).
#MAGIX ACID PRO PRO#
When I insert them into a Acid Pro 9 project they will only play a short burst of noise and the graphic will not show a waveform. Yet they will not play anything other than a bust of noise when I try to audition them VIA the explorer view. (Build 26 ) 64- bitĪs I mentioned before in an earlier post these OGG's can be seen in the explorer view. sheesh, even the very OGG Sound pools that Magix's sell don't work in Magix Acid Pro 9 Version 9.0.3. Here's a screen shot of my Magix Soundpool 18 as seen in my explorer view within Acid Pro 9 In Acid Pro 9 they seem to be listed as MPEG Layer 3 files ( as shown in the explorer ) OK when you are up and running w Acid Pro 9 please see if you can have Acid Pro read some of the Mixcraft OGG files. I like playing in the DAW.I'm a seasoned musician who plays multiple instruments. They give you a choice on the loop quality you want to download.
#MAGIX ACID PRO FREE#
The sale I bought had a few free libraries thrown in. The loops bump right up against one another and line up perfectly. Set the resolutions correctly in Cakewalk and you can do a similar thing but less intuitive IMHO.

I have Ableton too and it is so much more complicated to do the same things. Even if you don't use the tracks it's a great way to find a groove, have a frame work to build from. Why run two DAWS? I simply export the tracks and import them into Cakewalk. Made some guitar tracks and loaded em' up in it. If it gets you into the basic loop world I guess that will get you acclimated to the basic. Loaded it on another computer besides the one I had the old copy of ACID on. TBH I am not a regular loops user but it can be fun and a quick way to build up a backing track. Didn't use it during the whole Sony thing. They kept tempting me and I finally bought it. cause VEGAS and Sound Forge, among other things). Those aren't especially active forums (I've been there since before ACID Pro was released. People with issues are more likely to post on them, in comparison to those who are just normally using the application. Most of the time, forums exaggerate issues. I've only run into a couple of VST Scanner issues, which are fixed by the latest Beta builds they made available. People buying ACID Pro without a "Legacy" behind them, and using up-to-date plugins are pretty much fine. I think once they get over the "Legacy Hump" (since so many people were using an 8-9 year old piece of software, they avoided those growing pains until MAGIX did the 64-Bit update), it will be fine. There are people over there complaining that their old Sonitus FX 32-Bit VST Plugins don't work in the latest ACID Pro, Lol. It also fixed some issues users had with ReWire (probably the most pressing issue, given how many people use ACID Pro) in ACID Pro 9 (not 8). The new Betas have a new VST Scanner in them, which fix most of those issues. A lot of people over there have quite old plugins, and they only backed up their projects in ACID Pro (6/7) project format - so they can't do anything with those when the plugins fail to load or function properly. The issues people are running into with ACID Pro 8 (and 9) stem largely from plugins, especially older 32-Bit plugins in the 64-Bit DAW. ACID Pro basically did nothing but that, frankly. Much of those upgrades were basic evolutionary changes, and bug fixes. Add a MIDI playable chopper and some Vita 2 Solo Instruments, along with some MAGIX Plugins. It seems to be the consensus over there that the perfect solution would be a v7 in 64-bit.ĪCID Pro 9 basically is AP7 in 64-Bit. OK, but if you go read the Magix user forum threads about AP v9, you might come away with the impression that the product is very unstable and barely usable in it's current form.
