The music aspect of the program receives mixed reviews; while some users appreciate its affordability and fun features for remixing and learning music production, others criticize its recording capabilities and lack of essential functions like input monitoring. Long-time users value its nostalgic appeal and versatility for various audio projects, but many suggest that serious musicians may need to invest in more professional software for regular use. Overall, it serves as a decent entry point for beginners but falls short for advanced music production needs.
- “If you understand how this program works, and how to import your own audio files, it is one of the greatest music editing software.”
- “This program has given me a new purpose in life by allowing me to take my favorite songs in MIDI form, change the instruments to the most ridiculous things possible, and then share them with the world.”
- “Acid has always been my go-to app for music creation. I've used it to create original music, remixes, radio show-style vignettes with dialogue and sound effects, and I even use it to produce my full-length podcast!”
- “As a music program that is marketed as a complete package, it is repulsive to have it not have input monitoring.”
- “I'll keep it and use it for letting my kids get into digital music and recording, but I expect anyone who wants to produce music on a regular basis for a living will want to spend more and get a 'real' DAW.”
- “However, when I originally bought this program, I had the intention of using it to help record music - ironically, recording music is by far the weakest part of this program.”

- “I really wish the company who took these products over from Sony would invest in some solid updating, a streamlined interface that looks less like it was designed in the 90s (kind of harsh on the eyes), and fix the annoying technical glitches.”
- “After a few updates, I did what troubleshooting suggested, but there was no luck in retrieving what I've paid for.”
