Go make some music 10 Dec 2010
Hello,

got this program for my little sister and she just loves it.
I was fascinated how fast she was able to make some good music.
After some days I tried and saw that there is an advanced mode. Here you got the chance to go inbto detail.
Automation, effects and so on and so on.
I could not believe that a software with this price could have this much cool content.

Not only for kids!!!

I was very pleased with this product, based on the big deal that was made in all the advertising about uploading your creations to Twitter, Youtube, etc.

However if you want to monetise your content on YouTube this is NOT the product for you. The licence explicitly forbids the monetisation of content created with this product.

Item 6 in the licence reads:

6. USE OF THE MUSIC, VIDEO AND PHOTO FILES
The music, photo and video files included in the MAGIX products may be used only for non-commercial purposes (exclusively for private purposes). Commercial use constitutes receipt of financial benefits through direct or indirect use of the files (through sale, licensing, ad banners, etc.)

So, yes, you can upload stuff, but if you expect to be the next Jessie J or something, then you need to buy a different product because Magix xan sue you if you use this product to make anything that may become commercial...

Hey everybody,

I just got that really cool product. I'm not that advanced in making music so I just thought that this porgram could help me out.
I've read some good articles about it and so I've downloaded the trial.
At first sight I was wondering about the design but then I just tried to make music with it and it worked out really good. The start is super easy and after some minutes you got really cool results. the loops are sounding very good and expansiv recorded.

A must have for for everyone who was always interested in making music but never got the chance to.
