Studio One vs ACID Pro: Which is a better fit?

I love how every section is positioned based on the activities each carry out. The speed in which it processes applied change is amazing.

The software has some bugs which interrupt the software during sessions. I had this problem on version 5.

I am completely satisfied with studio one, and I am happy to discover every day new amazing functions.

Slightly bad sounds with the internal plugins in terms of the instrument plugins.

Its quality is unmatched and the mastering part is amazing because the software already proper presets to start from.

The only downsides (and they aren’t major) are non-“core” features lack a certain depth, and new features tend to go a number of cycles without improvements.

As a composer it has all the functions that I need and I think the price is very affordable. I'm just in love with the software.

Maybe that you always have to buy the newest model and that it does not upgrade with the one you buy but that is way better than the subscription model that I hate.

One of the things I appreciate most about it is its ease of use. It's a great tool for quickly and easily putting together complex tracks, especially for creating loop-based music.

Even after expecting a hang and constantly saving, the time lost and more importantly losing the flow while trying to be creative were the app killer for me.

The familiarity of the workflow is the best. Chopping audio files and mixing them down is probably the best way to use this.

Not yet completely bug-free - still freezes every now and then.

Yes , you install it, you install the requirements and you have a good recording studio 5 minutes after.

A very straightforward interface helps facilitate easy songwriting and mixing, and loops simply work in ACID, unlike older products like Pro Tools.
