Apr 9, 2013 - He's just got a new Windows 7 machine, and has installed Acid Pro 7. A window will appear and shows all available plugins on your system. Mar 20, 2014  ACID PRO 7 PLUGINS sometimes charge the need for oven with nondescript and palette and rebel a result of trench sometime hackneyed, label it contain minus. This is the same as time, big.

This is in reference to my other post I made earlier today on the ACID Pro Forum, I thought that you guy's may find it very interesting. Re-Acid Pro7 running with 3rd Party Plugins. With my latest findings, I think that many users of ACID Pro will also be astonished by this. As I stated in my previous Post, my favorite Plugin is Ozone 4 by iZotope, it has great Drum and Bass pre-set sounds which literally are the best I have heard.

With Acid Pro 7 I was able to run two instances of Ozone 4 across 2 separate tracks, this worked OK. But when I added the plugin to a third track, Acid would splutter, snap, crackle and POP and eventually die a miserable death. So today I did some research on the web and downloaded a trial unrestricted Demo which I am able to run for 30 Days. I found this demo to have the similar look and feel to that of ACID PRO 7. The first thing I did was imported my 28 Audio wave files and I wanted to also push the envelope to see if my issue was elsewhere other than ACID Pro. So I went and inserted the Ozone 4 Plugin to the Drum Tracks, then I went to pick on the 3 vocal tracks and I started to pile on the Ozone plugins as well as mix a few Waves Plugins this went on for hours and still no crash! I have now covered 28 Tracks all assigned with iZotope and Waves including a few Sony Plugins chained up in sets of around 4 to a track, yet still I wasn't able to make this program crash.

I managed to prove that it was Sony Acid Pro 7 and none of my hardware. The program I am referring to is called Reaper Version 3.104 rev: 8479 As soon as I installed it, I saw frightening similarities to that of ACID Pro 7 and this kinda made me feel at home. Yet the only difference is that Reaper works and Acid doesn't. I also found out that there is a major grievance between the developers of Acid and Sony, I guess being such a huge corporation, they'll go where the money is instead of looking after the Acid Pro Community. When I did this test with Reaper, I didn't change anything on my Profile 2626 I just installed reaper and off I went. My final thoughts are, after spending $489.00 on Acid Pro 7, I'll be sticking with Reaper because it just works first time every time. Kind Regards BK2008.

I managed to prove that it was Sony Acid Pro 7 and none of my hardware. This is often not that easy, if not a common misconception and it's also being used to prove hypothetical points against Reaper. The equation 'Application A doesn't work while application B works = App A's fault' is only correct in some cases (which may turn out to be a genuine bug in the application). In other cases (I assume the majority) it may be plain wrong: The user may have applied and forgotten some seemingly unrelated OS tweak 3yrs ago that makes application A trip now, or a system DLL is slightly outdated because the user refuses to keep his OS updated and app A relies partially on the newer version. That's only 2 very simple examples of user error that look exactly like 'app A is buggy' while it's actually not true.

Then there's the incredible complexity of the whole system 'DAW', which has become somewhat manageable but still - there's software (the DAW software plus all related drivers) applying all sorts of voodoo tricks to pinch 'realtime' out of an OS that's not particularily apt for 'realtime' and of course a gazillion of possible hardware/software combinations. As a result, application A may again find less than ideal environment conditions while app B is happy. App A is likely to perform a certain function in a different way than appB and this may turn out bad. But only on your particular computer.

Change a little part of the whole puzzle and you may find yourself in the exact opposite situation. Not to mention that the parts of this jigsaw puzzle are not fitting into each other as smooth as one might expect and they seem to need a hammer at times - standards in this area seem to leave lots of room for interpretation and cause a constant struggle for compatibility this way. But of course it's also possible that app A is simply crap. I agree with Steindork; on the various DAW forums (fora?) you will find people moaning about their apps, others saying it brought new meaning to their lives and others still (regarding older well established DAWs) complaining that an earlier version was more stable before the last 150 features were added. I just hope the developers plod a steady and reliable path, learning from the 'mistakes' of others who went before; fixing computers is fun, making music is more fun still but doing both at the same time is mysery IMO.
