MAGIX Music Maker 2016 Live

I got this so my teenage niece and nephew could play around with it when here, They are both musically inclined and I knew this would be fun for them,. Yes, there is a learning curve and there are issues with it crashing at times, but theres enough on there to keep them busy and they can have fun with it. They arent music pros so they dont need some expensive software. I think they will become better with it over time and they have the patience to figure it out. And its productive fun learning for them. Its important to know what our going to get and if you have the proper expectation of the limitations, then you should be fine with this.

Its funny. The samplitude pro demo program that retails for $700+ works perfectly fine and is made by the same company. Music maker can barely run for 5 minutes without crashing! The program is so feature rich and I would love to use it as my main DAW but it is unreliable at best. My computer is a full xeon class workstation with 32gb ram and quadro graphics and dedicated sound. The program has no reason to crash and glitch and fail to load audio or recordings. Its like they purposely crippled music maker to push their higher end products. Do yourself a favor and dont waste money like I did on this junk program. It has potential but should have never been released in this buggy state. Ive tried it on 3 other computers with the same results. It doesnt matter if its on windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 or vista. The program will glitch and will crash especially after recording something great. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

This is a fun program. You can hit the ground running because of its simplicity.

Nice

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.

The item did not work. It was returned but refund had not been issued. Do not recommend to buy from them.

My daughter has a youtube channel and she can never use music without it being flagged as copywritten by youtube. This software helps her create light music (or dark) for her videos without having to worry about copyrights. Its easy to use and suits her purposes just fine!

Ive been using this app for a couple of days now. Ill say at the outset that Im working on a machine with an I7 Processor and 16GB Ram, so my machine can easily handle the demands of this application. What Ive found is a very easy to use and remarkably powerful recording application. Its terrific for making background tracks for tutorials and home videos. There is an enormous library of pre-made sounds to choose from which can be added to tracks with a simple drag and drop. Once added, you can split audio objects, change pitch and tempo, and custom fit them to your needs. In addition you can set up your keypad to work as a keyboard, or if you have an electronic keyboard use that to play music. If you are a singer or a player yourself, you can connect your guitar, vocal mic, or other instrument to your computer and record live sounds as well.

I disliked the fact that it seemed like a full program but ended up a demo.

I have not been able to even watch the intro video. When I tried to get support, there is no way to get in touch with anyone.
