Music Creation Reformulated  
 
In the world of digital music creation, ACID Pro software has always stood out from the crowd. Its automatic loop time-stretching and tempo-matching technology is second-to-none, and its straightforward pick, paint, and play functionality has helped make ACID Pro software the favorite loop-based music creation tool for millions of users worldwide. Now reformulated to add multitrack recording and full MIDI sequencing to its looping functionality, ACID Pro 6 software delivers a formula for ground-breaking music creation: loops + multitrack + MIDI. Together, these key components add up to a full-featured professional music workstation unlike any other.  
 
Innovative Loop-Based Music Creation  
 
ACID Pro software has been the leader in loop-based music creation for nearly ten years. Version 6 has all of the core ACID Pro features—automatic pitch and tempo matching, real-time loop previewing, unlimited tracks, and the signature pick, paint, and play interface—and enhancements such as support for multiple media events per track, and automatic crossfades. ACID Pro 6 software also includes over 1,000 Sony Sound Series loops so you can start creating music right out of the box.  
 
Multitrack Audio and MIDI Recording  
 
For uncompromising 24-bit, 192kHz sound quality production live or in-studio, ACID Pro 6 software has an expanded set of features for maximum audio performance. Whether you're on stage tracking a combo, or recording MIDI-based studio sequences, ACID Pro 6 software is the optimal platform for reliable multitrack production: on-the-fly punch in/out, unlimited tracks for audio and MIDI, control surface support, powerful plug-in processing, and 5.1 surround mixing.  
 
Comprehensive MIDI Support  
 
ACID Pro 6 software has unparalleled support for MIDI sequencing, with real-time MIDI processing and precise control over MIDI events. All note and controller data can be recorded and edited on the timeline as easily as audio tracks. Use track envelopes to automate and modify modulation, expression, or other types of MIDI controller data over time. Other features let you record multiple tracks of MIDI, apply real-time MIDI quantization, perform filtering and processing, create and edit drum patterns.  
 
Superior Mixing and Editing  
 
Nondestructive editing, unlimited tracks, and real-time pitch and tempo matching—ACID Pro 6 software has all of the essentials. ACID Pro 6 software includes our patent-pending Groove Mapping and Groove Cloning quantization tools, real-time event reverse, freehand envelope drawing, and support for alternate time signatures. The Beatmapper tool makes remixing easy, and the Chopper tool helps you create impressive drum fills, stutters, and DJ-style effects.  
 
Professional Effects and Soft Synth Support  
 
Expand your sound palette with native support for VST instruments, as well as VST and DirectX audio plug-ins. ACID Pro 6 software includes the Native Instruments KOMPAKT Sony ACID Pro edition and over 20 DirectX effects.

Over 1,000 Sony Sound Series Loops  
 
ACID Pro 6 software includes more than 1,000 Sony Sound Series loops, each ACIDized with pitch-shifting and time-stretching metadata for the smoothest possible performance. Get more free loops each month through the ACID Pro Get Media feature and at ACIDplanet.com. Further expand your media collection by purchasing titles from our vast collection of royalty-free sample libraries.  
 
Pristine Audio Quality

Quantization Tools  
 
ACID Pro 6 software features the patent-pending Groove Mapping and Groove Cloning quantization technology. With these tools, you can significantly expand your loop collection by morphing existing loops into fresh, new sounds.  
 
Change the Groove of a Track  
 
It's easy to apply a groove to the tracks in your project. In the Window Docking area, click the Groove Pool tab. From the top section of the Groove Pool, drag the groove you want to use onto the desired track. Notice that a groove event is displayed along the bottom of the track. Increase the track height to see the groove name and zoom in to see a visual representation of the groove in the groove event. Drag a different groove onto the track to replace the current groove.  
 
Applying Different Grooves to the Same Track  
 
You can apply many different grooves to a single track to really build interest into your composition. Click the Groove Tool drop-down arrow in the main ACID Pro button bar and choose the desired groove. This also selects the Groove Tool. Drag the Groove tool across a small section of a track. Choose a different groove from the drop-down list and paint that groove across a different section of the track. A track can have as many different groove sections as you want.  
 
Extracting a Groove from One File and Applying it to Another  
 
If one of your tracks has a rhythmic feel (a groove) that you want to use on a different track, right-click the first track's track header and choose Add to the Groove Pool from the pop-up menu. Now, click the Groove Pool tab to bring it forward if it's not already visible and notice that a new groove (with the name of the file on the track from which you extracted it) appears in the Groove Pool. Use the methods outlined above to add this new groove to any other track in your project. The tracks now share the same groove.  
 
Create Custom Grooves  
 
Modify an existing groove and save the modified version as a new groove. In the Groove Pool, select one of the existing grooves and click the Duplicate Selected Grooves button. Adjust the blue Pre-Groove markers to change the groove. Or, create a brand new custom groove entirely from scratch. Click the New Groove button. Again, adjust the blue Pre-Groove markers.  
 
Using Track Properties to Create New Grooves  
 
Modify the track properties of an existing track and create a new groove based on those modifications. Right-click the track header for a track and choose Properties from the pop-up menu. In the Track Properties dialog, click the Stretch tab and make adjustments to the various markers. Click the Play Quantized button to hear how your changes affect the rhythm of the file. Click the Play button to hear the file in its original rhythm. When you're happy with the changes you've made, click the Add to Groove Pool button. The new groove now appears in the Groove Pool.  
 
Export Custom Grooves  
 
After you've created a new groove, you might decide that it would work well in other projects too. You can export the groove so that you can use it in any project or share it with a partner. In the Groove Pool, select the groove you want to export from the list. Click the Export Selected Groove button. You can save the groove to any location on your computer drives that you want.  
 
 
Media Manager  
 
Use the Media Manager to tag, organize, and search your collection of loops so you can quickly find just the right media for your ACID Pro 6 compositions. The Media Manager maintains a database of your content, including file attributes, ACID metadata, and tags that you can assign to classify your media. Install the Media Reference Library to automatically tag existing Sony Sound Series loops and samples on your hard drive.  
 
Build Your Media Library Automatically  
 
The Media Manager can scan your computer drives to automatically add files to your library. Click the Add Files to Media Library button. Specify each folder you want to scan, choose the type of media you want to add and click the Search button. The Media Manager searches the specified folders for media and adds anything it finds to the current library.  
 
Preview and Add Media Directly from the Media Manager  
 
Use the same techniques that you use in the Explorer window to preview files in your library. Select a file in the library, and click the Start Preview button to listen to the file even while your project plays so you can evaluate the media along with your composition. To end preview, click the Stop Preview button. Click the Auto Preview button so that preview starts automatically when you select a file. When you find the file you want, drag it directly from the Media Manager into your project timeline.  
 
Refine Library Entries and Searches  
 
To tailor your library to your exact needs, create custom tags and apply them to the media entries in your libraries. In the Search pane, click a tag that resides at the level at which you want to add the new tag. Click the Add Tag button. Change the name of the new tag to whatever will help you search most effectively. Now apply the tag to your library entries and search on it just as you would any of the default tags.  
 
Create Extremely Targeted Searches with the Advanced Search Tools  
 
In the Advanced section of the Search pane, you can customize your searches to be extremely targeted. Click the Add New Search Criteria button. In the Search Criteria Chooser, double-click each criterion on which you want to search. Adjust the parameter controls of the criteria to tailor your search. Select the checkboxes for each criterion that you want to use.  
 
Expand Your Media Search with Reference Libraries  
 
Use the Sony Sound Series: Loops and Samples reference library to search the vast collections of media files available from the Sony Sound Series. From the ACID Pro installation disc, install the Sony Sound Series Library. Choose Options from the Media Library Actions drop-down list, and choose Sony Loops and Samples from the Reference Library drop-down. Click OK and click the Switch to Reference Library button. Select a file in the Search Results pane and click the Buy Now link in the Product Information pane to get more information, preview the file, and buy the associated loop collection.  
 
Recall Your Search History  
 
As you work through different searches in your library, you may want to return to a search you conducted earlier. Rather than trying to remember how to reconstruct a complex search, click the Previous Search button to scroll through your search history. Once you've scrolled back through your history this way, click the Next Search button to scroll through in the opposite direction.
