The last major update to ACID Pro, by the previous owner Sony Creative Software, was in 2008. Yet with a brand new, sleek and modern interface and its innovative loop-based compositional environment, the software retains the easy workflow that it is famous for. Magix has completely overhauled the software that revolutionized loop-based music making 20 years ago and has added many new professional features, dozens of new instruments and effects and an all-powerful 64-bit architecture. Magix Software confirms that the new ACID Pro 8 will feature more power and more plug-ins but the same easy workflow, making this its first major update in ten years. The long-awaited return of the software that kick-started a revolution in music production - the loop-based ACID Pro - is certainly great news for musicians and music producers all over the world in a time when many established software packages seem to be stalled or have been simply discontinued.

Both software solutions have remained respected audio recording, editing, and music production tools in their own right, and Magix seems to be determined to revitalize their own unique features and technologies. Sony Creative Software was created from the acquisition of Sonic Foundry, in 2003, and has remained a separate division within Sony Professional.
