Pristine Audio Quality
ACID Pro 7 software employs the shortest possible path from your audio interface to your hard disk without floating-point conversions that can increase latency and dropout potential. Its optimized 24-bit, 192 kHz recording architecture includes dual and multicore processor support and dynamic playback optimization for maximum audio performance.
