If you're looking for a high-quality reverb with plenty of user control, Sony's Oxford Reverb might be just what you're after.

Version 5 of Acid Pro is the first major upgrade under the Sony Media Software badge, and has taken two years to arrive. Does it keep pace with other manufacturers' loop-sequencing packages?
