MAGIX Music Maker 2016 Live

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!

My 16 year old son makes music. He is a songwriter, sings and plays guitar, uke, and piano/keyboard. He is always looking for better microphones and music software. This software is fun and fairly easy to use for someone new to music making. The pre-recorded sounds make it quick and easy to put a song together. Once thing I was excited by was that the program can easily record your own vocals and instrumental arrangements. However, the editing is a bit clunky. My son is still struggling with how to do vocal overlays and how to edit just parts of the song or even cut them out completely. He has a laptop that is a couple years old now, but is built to handle music and video and we had no problem running this software. One thing I will say is that this is NOT professional recording quality. Some of my sons other software programs do a better job of creating polished and clear recordings.

Easy to install. Fun to use. I really like the product and happy with how user friendly it is. Came with a ton of extra add ons... still learning new features every time I use it!

Nice

I’ve used other similar software in the past quite successfully but this Magic is confusing, poorly structured, too many pop up ads and not worth the money.

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

When I was offered this software to tryout and write a review for, I at first wasnt going to take them up on the offer. Ive had some experience with a couple previous versions of Magixs music software (Music Studio 5 & 7) and for reasons I dont remember never made much use of them. But Im glad I did accept the offer. I dont know if my attitude has changed or that the software is just that much better than before (probably a combination of the two). I will say this after having tried this software, if I hadnt gotten a free copy of it I would have gladly paid for it.

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.

Im a novice at this music creation business. Ive looking for software for creating my own music, NOT just mix together some prerecorded loops. Im thrilled that MAGIX Music Maker allows me to do precisely that.

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