To coincide with the recent release of ACID Pro 5 software and the Sony Sound Series Loops & Samples collection, Sony Media Software today launched the revamped ACIDplanet Web site (www.ACIDplanet.com), the Internet’s premier destination for new music and unique artists. With an innovative look and feel, an increased focus on video, and the introduction of the paid-for ProZone™ area with its enhanced user features, ACIDplanet.com continues to provide its community of over 200,000 individual digital musicians the most exciting place on the Web to create music, collaborate, listen, chat and publish their own music for the world to hear. To celebrate the launch, ACIDplanet.com is offering visitors the opportunity to download 10 Free Loops a Day for 30 Days.

After the release of the Acid 5.0 Musicstudio version, earlier this month, Sony announced today that ACID Pro 5 software, the latest upgrade to its award-winning, professional loop-based music creation tool, will be available for purchase on Nov. 8. 2004.


Enhancements include two new patent-pending technologies: The Media Manager is a powerful new technology for browsing and tagging media assets that greatly enhances the user’s ability to track, label and store media files including loops, video and stills. Additionally, the unique Groove Mapping and Groove Cloning technologies provide enhanced ways for users to sonically interact with their loops and samples collection.
