MAGIX Music Maker 2016 Live

I have a really old version of Music Maker, and I used it to mix up some techno music in the past. This new version is designed to make music but also to be able to trigger and perform.

REVIEW UPDATE: I gave this to my roommate to figure out and she LOVES it. Shes more patient than I and she says that its awesome for creating her own backtracks for her vlogs. Review updated to 4 stars.

First, let me say that this is an amazing piece of software. Its not perfect. I was able to crash it. I attached the crash screen at the end of the attached video--for the benefit of the Magix team to improve it. The problem has to do with selecting multiple tracks at once and manipulating them together. The work around is not to select multiple tracks. Other than that, the software works beautifully. It has amazing collection of sound loops with simply outstanding digital and analog samplings and very intuitive user interface to create music. In the attached video I added a demo that comes with MAGIX Music Maker 2016 Live for a few seconds, and then Ive added an original arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner with my vocals superimposed on an instrumental version I found on YouTube. Music Maker Live makes it very easy to create and mix new samples. I hope you will enjoy this software as much as I have.

A lot of people are harsh about this product, but for a basic mixing app, I felt it was pretty darn good for beginners. Out of the box, not reading any directions, I was able to put together a mashup of the included beat loops along with clips from my own audio .wav and .mp3 files. Had the whole thing mixed and saved in half an hour. I recommend watching the tutorials on the Magix website, as that made me aware of features I hadnt discovered on my own.

Im not a musician, and I did not have the previous version of this software. So, sorry if my review seems a bit simplistic: It is from an inexperienced POV. But, bottom line? I thoroughly enjoy spending some down time making music with this software. It is a LOT of fun to use. Hours and hours and hours fly by creating music and goofing around experimenting with this software. Im glad to have it on my computer.

Nice

After some problem understanding what was going on and help form the shipper. It is working. It is more advanced than last Magix program but dfI hope to get use to it soon.

i baught this item so happy and downloaded it only to find out that the product serial number is registered in another email, i felt scammed. pls amazon help me.

The Good - The 15 Virtual Instruments are beyond reproach. The best ones are not listed on the box. They call them Object Synthesizers. One is a Groove box called BeatBox 2 that would stand against Rolands vintage GrooveBoxes. Another great VST is the Loop Designer. A Drum and Bass Beat Powerhouse. The presets for the VSTs shown on the box are Phenomenal. Namely DN-e1 and Revolta2. If the package only contained these items it would be worth every penny.

love it great music program
