Sony Updates ACIDPlanet.com And Introduces Free Xpress7

ACIDplanet.com is the Internet’s premier site for music, video and unique artists. It’s home to a growing online community of exciting, individual digital musicians and videographers. It has been a popular venture for Sony, and with the advice of its community and in-house designers, have updated the website with a new look and new features.

At ACIDplanet.com you create and upload your own music and videos for the world to experience. Or listen to music created by others, and check out the most popular videos. Enter contests where you remix music by major artists and score your own music videos. You could even get discovered by label reps and studios. It’s all about the music, the video, the artists and the community, all the time.

We’ve made it easy for you, with ACID XPress, our free ten-track mixing and composing application. And we provide plenty of free content; new “loops” (sound samples optimized for use in music software) and complete ACID projects are available weekly on the 8packs page.

To coincide with the 10th aniversary of the Acid software family, Sony is giving away downloads of ACID Xpress 7 for free and adding the following features to the software:

Multiple events per track
Users can now add as many loops or one-shots as desired to a track, so more complex musical compositions can be created. Automatic crossfades between events will allow users to seamlessly tie together different loops and songs.

Video scoring track
Users can quickly create soundtracks for videos by frame-accurately synchronizing music alongside the video track in ACID Xpress 7 software.

Inline MIDI editing
Increase music productivity and flexibility with easy-to-see inline event editing. Inline editing makes MIDI data easier to edit and provides quicker access to MIDI events.
