....pretentious Abelton Live beard-strokin' Mac-propaganda-spoutin' cretins who take every oppurtunity to cut down Acid software and insult those who use it!
y'know what - I gave Abelton Live a really fair chance... I took the time to learn the annoying ins and outs and really compared it against Acid Pro 5. I found it totally un-user friendly, frustrating and poorly designed. What I could accomplish with a few elegant clicks of my mouse within Acid took waaaay too long in Abelton. I noticed absolutely no difference in sound quality whatsoever... and besides the sound quality ultimately comes down to your computer's soundcard really. Acid 5 is a sophisticated, solid and professional loop-based sequencing environment that is totally unmatched by anything else out there.. its no "toy" or gimmick for rookies. Sure its not the "one-stop" solution to all your electronic music production needs (thats what Sonar 4 is for ! :) ) but Acid is a one-trick pony that does its one trick very well, EVERY time.
cheers guys.

I thought I was the only one who finds Ableton to be really clumsy to use.
It is a more powerful program than ACID. I wish that Sony would add
live looping capabilities to ACID. If they did there would be no comparison at all with the two programs.
ACID and the whole original sound forge family are the simplest and most intuitive music making programs out there (though I also adore FLStudio
which is another program that a lot of unknowledgeable people will diss)
and, guess what? They are only on the PC side of things.
