Hey there,
Just a quick review really... basically i wasnt sure whether to go with this software due to the number of reports of it crashing so frequently. But actually its not too bad, it does crash occasionally at first but you have to be a wee bit gentle with it. I mean it only crashes really when you listen to the different midi's available too quickly but apart from that its perfect. The functions available are top notch and as are alot of the midi's that come with the software, but i also do feel the software should have come with a few more sounds in some cases, where it does seem quite inadequate... so i will probably buy more sounds from the website to improve this...
Anyway i hope this was helpful

I've been using Music Maker since 2006 and it's the best software I know for making music at home. Easy to edit. Easy to record. Easy to export. Very user friendly. This version already fit my needs (Simple audio mixing and playing some of the integrated instruments via midi). Some times I use it's video part for uplaoding a song to youtube.

Serious musicians no doubt sneer heartily at Magix, but for the rest of us it's a fairly easy sample-based music composition suite. The interface is slick in either Easy or Advanced mode. Samples are drag-and-drop, and if you buy Magix with three or four of its add-on Soundpool DVDs (i.e.: extra content packs) then you should have a decent range of samples to work creatively with. Be warned though, that Soundpool's so-called "Ambient" packs are not cool Eno-style ambient music, but some sort of horrible American elevator music. Samples suitable for Eno-style ambient music are there, but they tend to be scattered across a wide range of Soundpool packs. Indexing of around 25Gb of installed Soundpool content packs was quick, at just a couple of minutes. You can also import your own .wav and .mp3 files. Samples can be changed using FX or have their length altered. Manipulating and moving the samples once they're in the mix is easy. There's also a good deal of power under the hood, with all sorts ways to fine-tune samples and use drum machines and software synths. The Premium version provides more of these, and also includes an audio editor, support for VST / VSTi instruments, more sound packs as standard. There is also an XXL version of Magix, which actually comes with a real USB musical keyboard. I found the speed of sample preview and general playback were excellent on a Windows 7 quad-core PC with a dedicated Creative Audigy SE soundcard fitted. I'd guess that gripes about frequent crashes are probably coming from those trying to use Magix with puny "onboard" sound chips? The samples themselves are all high quality, and even the vocals are tolerably good (enough to give your real vocalist some ideas to work with). Export of the final song is simple. It seems the musical compositions you produce are royalty-free and can be used for commercial purposes (but obviously you can't resell the individual samples, or tracks that just have a sample playing over and over again) although I guess Magix might want a slice of the profits if you used music made with the Movie Soundtracks packs on a real $70m Hollywood movie or TV series. If I were buying this as a present, then for maximum enjoyment I'd slip at least three Soundpool content packs and a dedicated slot-in PC sound-card into the package.

OK, but...
As brilliant as this software is I have one big criticism. If you only buy it by itself it is really limited. If you buy it with Magix Soundpool then it is brilliant! Read more
