Runs fine, although it would be completely pointless when you have OS X at your disposal (which handles music software/creation much much better than Windows).

true but its unfortunate that some manufactures dont make all there software for both windows or mac. i use acid pro 6 as my tool of choice but there isnt any mac version out. but mayb 7.0 will solve that issue.

Doubt it. Acid has been PC based for years and years. Logic does everything Acid can do, and a million times better.

Acid DJ 2.0 was the first piece of software I made music with. Looking at it now, I haven't a clue how I ever managed to do anything, but you've gotta start somewhere I suppose.

Get Logic. The timestretching is better, the pitch shifting is better, and it does all the things Acid can't (of which there are a LOT).

Logic isn't like ProTools when it comes to programming.

It's just a more complex interface than Acid - which you'll get used to.
