I moved this article from "ACID (software)" to "ACID Music" but I am having second thoughts about this move. Could I have some input here as to whether this was an appropriate or inappropriate move? If it is deemed to have been inappropriate, I'll shepherd it through the administrative move process at WP:RM. Courtland 15:49, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
I think that "ACID (software)" seems better as there is a whole line of software called ACID. The article should at least mention that there were previous as well as other present versions of ACID out there. M. Stern 04:47, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
ACID Music → ACID Pro – {ACID Pro is the current name for the software} copied from the entry on the WP:RM page
This seems to be written in a corporate fashion. It looks almost as if it was taken from a website? I don't think the tone is proper for Wikipedia; my 2 cents. Diizy (talk) 22:54, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, agreed this article is borderline advertising - reads like a product brochure, and as such I think, without significant modification it should be targeted for deletion.
I'm a devout member of the acidplanet community and I was wondering if any other ACID users also thought there should be a seperate page for ACIDplanet. I'd be happy to write it, I just don't want it to be struck down.
Be bold, man. Be bold. --69.138.91.29 02:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
God, this page stinks of advertising. 125.63.229.201 00:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I too post on acidplanet regularly and would like to see a separate page. Thtuskey (talk) 20:13, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
It would not be cool to have a section that details each version of acid pro and the changes from version to version, and also display the current version. 71.126.12.86Surge
The ACID XPress 5.0 page raises this issue on its own page: should these be separate pages?
This article seems to be woefully neglected... it does not represent the current state of ACID in its various incarnations properly. ACID Xpress has had a new 7.0 release, and ACID Music Studio is barely mentioned in the footnotes. Although these are based on the same engine, each of these programs are targeted at very different user levels and have significantly different feature sets.
There are two workable solutions for addressing this:
One option is creating a new page at the current redirect location ACID (software) which describes Sony's ACID product line as a whole (with things like a feature comparison table for the different editions). We'd then link to separate pages for each product, "ACID Pro", "ACID Music Studio" and "ACID XPress".
This option would be change this ACID Pro page, and others like ACID Xpress to redirect to sections specific to each version under ACID (software) (or, alternately Sony ACID to match Sony Vegas with some degree of parity). The article will describe both Sony's ACID product line as a whole, and have specific sections for each of the editions. "ACID Pro" would redirect to "ACID (software)#ACID Pro", "ACID Music Studio" would redirect to "ACID (software)#ACID Music Studio", etc. A feature comparison table can be included for the different editions.
Is it possible to include this page in a category under a different title than the canonical name of the page? I.e, include this "ACID (software)" in the category "Free music software" but using the name "ACID Xpress"...?
Which way should we go...? Please put your responses below...

Oh yeah, for the record my preference is for the second option, a single page relocated to "ACID (software)" with sections for each product in the line. -- KILNA (talk) 05:36, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Do we particularly need a separate article about Acid Loops, rather than just a subsection within this one? Bearcat (talk) 19:15, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Heya
Personally, I actually use Acid Pro to make music myself and I think it's great software. It's totally fine to have articles about the major different brands of music production software, given that all the best-selling ones seem to be covered. But I really think it's unnecessary to have separate articles about unique concepts stemming from that software that most people on earth probably don't know even exists. To cut it short, a separate article on "acid loops" fails the notability requirement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshua1007 (talk • contribs) 11:54, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

the mentions on Sony at Acid Loops section (that it owns the s/w and that it is in version 7) should probably be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.49.75.186 (talk) 17:20, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
