Starise Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I just got this email. Only for those who own a version of Acid Pro already. Should we jump? I doubt it will go lower than this. Details here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Pro 7 still works great. This biggest complaint about 8 is the dark "no you can't change it" GUI. I doubt the included loop content is not near as good as when Sony put out loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Sorrels Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 They shipped an update to 8 recently now has a choice between dark and light mode. If you have experience with 7 and earlier I think 8 isn't that bad. But for someone new or looking for a first DAW, it hasn't aged so well. But at least for me it was worth upgrading. Still has the best loop arranger DAW experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starise Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) I was busy last evening and missed the offer. Good to see it's still up till the 24th. I don't think 99.00 is a bad deal for that program. I remember the last time they had a deal like this and the end was the end. I don't think they will keep bumping this along after the 24th. I am optimistic that they will keep developing the program. After aquisition they were likely feeling their way round the first year or two. I think we'll see an uptick in streamlining the UI and functions now. 12.5 gigs if you need/want all of the program. The program is only something like 500mb. Did I see the MF add wrong? Looks like a new user can buy it for the 99 there?? Version 7 no longer works for me. I might need to do a lot of pitch key changes. I realize it can be done well in Ableton. Anyone using both that could comment. Cakewalk can shift existing loops. I know a few who were making loops in Cakewalk. Not sure difficult it was. I haven't traditionally been a loop kinda person. The key/pitch/loop construction part of it looks useful for some of my future work. Edited April 15, 2019 by Starise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the upgrade is still $99https://www.magix.com/us/music/acid/upgrade/upgrade-offer-acid-pro-8/ and now it's until the 28th of April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'm not sure if the $99 purchase price from musician's friend gets you the free upgrade. I did an online chat with MF and they said to ask Magix. I opened a ticket with Magix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with 9 the upgrade will be $99 so why bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Sweetwater is a showing free upgrade so I thought it was worth a shot. I don't have a previous version (thought I think I had version 4 once upon a time. ) https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AcidPro8--magix-acid-pro-8 Edited April 16, 2019 by Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not available here. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AcidPro8Up--magix-acid-pro-8-upgrade-upgrade-from-previous-version Once again only Magix will give you the 9 upgrade if you buy the 8 upgrade.
