Hello, I know it was released a long time ago, before windows 7 even, but has anyone successfully installed sony acid 7 (music studio or pro) onto a Windows 10 machine?
I purchased Acid Pro 10 a couple of years ago and the thing is broken,
I was waiting for some kind of upgrade or fix to be released, but it's just never happened,
Thanks.
Hi - I used Sony (Acid) Music Studio 32bit on Windows 10pro 64bit until recently when I updated to Win11 pro 64 bit. Music Studio 10 works with both -- and Music Studio 7 should work, as well, but.... Make sure you have installed MS 7 in "Compatibility Mode." When you start the .exe installation file, RIGHT-CLICK on it and choose Show More Options, then choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility." Win11 likes to do it automatically, but it may ask the last OS that worked. Choose Windows 7 32bit. Then go to your Windows settings and make sure your microphone is allowed for all apps & desktop apps. Good luck.
I've had some success running Sony ACID Music Studio 7 on Windows 10 by using compatibility mode. Right-click on the installer, go to Properties, then Compatibility, and set it to Windows 7. After installation, do the same for the program executable. It’s not perfect, but it’s a workaround that might help until there’s a better fix for Acid Pro 10. Hope this helps!

Thanks, That was just the info I was looking for, managed to find a seller in Germany who has a few NOS Sony Acid music maker 7 Discs for sale on ebay.👍
Be good to try and get back to when the software worked somewhat properly,
