MAGIX Acid Studio 11: The Basics of How To Make A Beat | Live Stream Tutorial

November 25, 2020

I’ve had several comments on the last video I did on MAGIX Acid Studio 11 and one of my subscribers expressed frustration on some basic stuff, so I thought I’d get on live really quick to show how to make a beat in MAGIX Acid Studio 11 with the provided content.

Forgive me for my inconsistency, but I am not a proper YouTuber in the sense that I don’t have time to make a ton of videos and focus on one subject, plus I don’t really consider myself a YouTuber – it’s sort of like saying, “I”m a Facebook guy.”

Can you use your own bought VST synthesizers with this software? I really cant find an answer about that.

Yea. Most of the premium VSTs I’ve used work fine with it.

You can use really any loops or sounds in this DAW, even those not made by Sony/MAGIX, etc.

Samplitude!! I forgot about that! Yes, I remember a single core Pentium processor and trying to double up my 56k modems to dual band at 128k down.

…. I never had trouble with loops. but maybe this posting was real… Nevertheless, I made a lot of music using the samples of music maker and Acid studio. I even know one Person who was able to create a summer hit in Europe, using these samples. So, no shame to use them… unfortunately very many use them and it is not easy not to be like everybody else. (Sorry for my bad english) Thank you for sharing this video.

I’ve been using ACID PRO 3.0 since 1998. Do you think the program has changed so much that I won’t be able to use it with ease? Thanks!

Yes, it does feel very similar to the original!

Don’t worry the only updates this trash ass daw had was a number as in 6 , 7 and Acid Pro 10 same ass software. So glad I switched over to Presonus Studio One

@TheMarshallMalone

August 14, 2022 10:58 am

@allinonethegreat Interesting take. What makes it trash?

@allinonethegreat

August 14, 2022 2:16 pm

@TheMarshallMalone it’s so limited trust me I used it for so many years and refused to learn any other daws thinking it was the shit cause it seemed so easy but you can do so much more in Studio One which has endless capabilities and endless tutorials and updates. My production got way better in Studio One. Studio One’s pattern editor is a game changer chopping samples there compared to Acid pro chops is comical lol took some time to learn how to use the daw but it was worth it now I know it very well

@Teamaster1978

August 15, 2022 5:24 pm

@allinonethegreat I’m actually considering Studio One or Reaper.

I was wondering, how to insert your own samples. I want to be able to add my ez drummer beats into the program so i can have samples of each beat to use it essentially as a drum machine.

@TheMarshallMalone

August 13, 2022 5:35 pm

Hmmm. Is EZ Drummer a VST? It should be compatible with Acid Studio. If not, there are free sampler VSTs that allow you to load any sound in.

@ChristmasCandie

August 13, 2022 5:58 pm

@TheMarshallMalone I just checked and it has VST plug-ins and compatible with DAWs. I would really like to see how to load any sound in too. Could you do a video on how to do this sometime? I really have trouble figuring this stuff out.

@TheMarshallMalone

August 13, 2022 6:19 pm

@ChristmasCandie Will do. Make sure you click the notification bell and it’ll let you know when I upload or go live. I might make an ask me anything live stream regarding this program. Stay tuned!

@bigwetsalmon1

@ChristmasCandie ACID pro is amazing for adding your own samples, DM me and I will show you how to do it without a VST

August 27, 2022 1:19 pm

is it compatible with kontakt, I need a Windows version of Garageband/Logic pro x essentially, been searching years, Studio One was very close UI wise but felt just weird to use didnt feel seamless . FL is out of the question. I found ableton complicated in terms of disrupting flow/creativity because UI issues

How do you keep the bass from cutting out so low when the beat drops? Is there some kind of parametric EQ to tweak this later so the levels are even?

@bigwetsalmon1

October 9, 2022 5:43 pm

What do you mean? If your kick and bass are hitting at the same time and are loud and un-sidechained or EQ’d properly they will clip. Look at your channel levels in the mixer and the master level, do any of them turn red when they all play together?
