MAGIX Music Maker 2016 Live

I asked for PC Disk.... I received a empty box with a online download if u wanted just to download it i wouldnt of wasted my time and money on the PC DISK. Version i am NOT a happy customer

Im a long time DJ, podcaster and amateur but budding electronic music producer. Ive slowly began learning various Digital Audio Workstations (D.A.W.) over the past 2 years but have never used Magix software before. Primarily I used FL Studio but in the beginning I found it very overwhelming and complex so I was looking for something simpler. Although reviews seem to be mixed I thought I would give MAGIX Music Maker 2016 Live a try. Here are my thoughts;

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.

Its the real deal with the newer features relative to the 2022 version, but we are left without Beatbox 2 and imposed the piano reel style sequencer which I have always disliked.

No star I ask for the PC dic and all I got was a box with a code that doesnt work it was a waste of time and money

Nice

There is a reason why the box edition (no disc – card with download instructions only) is $27 while the regular download is $99. It does not include the 4 Premium Soundpools that are advertised on the product box (only the 6 Standard Soundpools get installed). Magix customer service says it refers to a couple of samples in the “live” application, but that’s just damage control. Those are not Soundpool sets.

After installing this on my computer I had nothing but problems with my computer. I think that something that as bundled with it did not agree with something on my computer. The program itself was difficult to use. It had a lot of problems with getting hung up, running very slowly and it just wasnt easy to figure out how to use the program. Granted Im not highly technically inclined, but I can usually get around a program well enough to figure it out. This software was confusing to me. Because of the computer problems I was having, I ended up uninstalling it, doing a system restore and running a cleanup software just to make sure nothing harmful was left on my computer. I probably could have figured it out if I had sent more time on it, but I really just wanted it off my computer.

Ordering the 2015 one also.

Descent music maker for the price and very easy to learn to use. This software is easy enough to learn that my six-year old had no trouble learning the basics within minutes. The majority of it is simple drag and drop with sample music pieces, sounds, and vocals that are included. Had a little trouble getting the mic to work with this software, which I previously never had an issue with, but it was ultimately resolved. Ive had no issues with lag at all as some other reviewers have mentioned.
