"ACID Pro 7 - Great Programs, Very unstable - Loves To Crash."

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I would expect that Sony would put more effort into the stability of their programming, I don't plan on being satisfied in future versions of this software, as Sony has made this software bundle very problematic to me. I dont really use anything else, therefore I dont much have a choice.
Sound
Sounds good, but it's only as good as your hardware.
Features
Many features, however this program is very unstable and crashes all the time. Would be nice to have a compatibility feature to load previous versions of Acid pro 6 project files. But that crashes all the time too.
Ease of Use
Very easy, hands on tutorial, its excellent.
Quality
This program had and STILL HAS a terrible history of strange program crashes and failures. They can never seem to patch this software up enough. It will always fail.
Value
Reasonably priced.
Manufacturer Support
Would be nice if this product did not CRASH when I used the M-Audio 610 interface. ASIO Driver M-Audio, I guess crashes, and Sony hasn't released any patches to fix this. Their support team doesn't seem to care to help me either.
The Wow Factor
It does have a good "feel" to it.
