If people can do EDM in Pro Tools (and many do), you sure as hell can do it in Samplitude. Use ACID Pro, but when you graduate and need more power from your DAW, you'll have a viable option. Generally, I would suggest getting Samplitude. You can go to Plugin Boutique and get reputable Samplers that do that for < $40. It's nothing like the metering in WaveLab Pro or Samplitude.Īnd if you aren't going to go to Pro Next, then I struggle to find a reason to upgrade off of ACID Pro 8, since MAGIX is fixing most of the biggest offending bugs in that version - and back-porting the UI/UX enhancements from Pro 8. The coreFX plugins are redundant and unnecessary, and the metering is nothing moreo than the Metering ported from Sound Forge Pro 11/12 into ACID Pro 9. If you don't need that, then honestly you don't need Pro Next. I don't find it to be that good for Production - so I'd only invest primarily in it if I were generally going to be using loops for 75% (or more) of my work.Īside from that, the reason to get Pro Next would be the zynaptic STEM Maker.

ACID Pro is more like an Arrangement Workspace. Do you only make music with Loops, or do you also use Synths, Samples, etc.?Ĭompare also to Samplitude Pro X4 Suite, which can be had for cheaper than ACID Pro Next, never mind Pro Next Suite.
