Acid Pro is a product by Sony which is used as a professional Digital Audio Workstation program. It has been around since 1998 and helps beat makers with the unique looping characteristic. It was the first software to have automatic looping in which an individual could easily just drag and drop any type of loop onto a track, and the loop would adjust itself to the tempo and key of the specific song.

The biggest benefit in this was there was virtually no loss in the quality of the audio. It was this idea that made it very popular to many beat makers.
