Pros and cons

The software is great, as soon as you open it you can start recording yourself and save and add effects and exports your audio with ease.
Overall good experience easy to make beats with my own style quality sound very good i like music maker.
With Music Maker I like the drum sounds and some of the sound patches were awesome. It makes my music creating very much fun.
I have to use it, I'd feel cheated if I did use it after the hundreds of dollars I have spent on it.
To even make remotely decent music, mix packs have to be purchased. And the customer service is terrible.
This eats away your money and is frustrating to have to use.

Perfect tool for music tutorage

Reviewed 2 months ago

I believe that Music Maker is a great choice for music education, thanks to its extensive media library and instrument management features. It offers students a wide range of creative possibilities and allows them to learn the basics of music production and composition in a fun and engaging way.

Pros

I have found Music Maker to be a valuable tool for teaching music production and composition to my students. In a few words, I can say that the main advantages of using Music Maker in a music education setting is its extensive media library and instrument management features. The media library in Music Maker is well-organized and easy to navigate, making it simple for students to find and use the sounds and samples they need for their compositions. The software also includes a wide variety of virtual instruments, from pianos and guitars to drums and synthesizers, allowing students to experiment with different sounds and styles.

Cons

There is not a lot of complaints for this use case. However, Music Maker at times is too complex for some students, especially beginners. It takes a while to master the software and its features and some students find it difficult to navigate.

A great addition to any Magix video editing software

Reviewed 10 months ago

perfect when working within Magix video editing softwares.

Pros

I got Magix Music Maker as an add-on from a Magix Video Pro X purchase. It is also available on trial version of Video Pro X. I had initially dismissed it as one of the many sales campaigns but later realized how well it integrates with Video Pro X as audio editor. I have always used it to enhance the audios for my videos within Video Pro X and it works perfectly! It eliminates the need to edit audio with another external DAW.

Cons

While it has been a great tool within Video Pro X, I still find that I am more inclined to use other DAWs for more complicated audio recording to mastering tasks. I like it more within Video Pro X.

A great option that offers a mix of features and easy to use

Reviewed 3 months ago

It is a great product for those who want to make music quickly and easily. It is also very affordable and has a great sound library. The only downside is that the library is limited, so you may not always find the sound you are looking for. However, this is a minor issue and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to create music

Pros

I found about Music Maker through the purchase of Magix’s Video Pro X and decided to give it a try as it was included in the offer. It integrates very well with the video editor but still stands out on its own as a great production software. It is easy to use with a lot of features. I am able to easily create say a beat or even a complete song within no time by using the drag and drop feature. The...

Cons

The software does not support some of the latest audio formats such as FLAC and Ogg Vorbis and the interface can be cumbersome to use, as it is not as intuitive as some of its competitors. Music Maker can be a bit slow and clumsy when dealing with complex tasks. Additionally, its Piano role is quite basic and could use some additional features. For example, it would be nice to be able to add multiple notes at once and to be able to copy and paste sections of the piano roll. Additionally, it would be nice if there were more options for editing and manipulating the sound of the piano roll.

My overall experience with music maker was very good.

Pros

The program was easy to use and exceeded my expectations regarding a final end product. Any glitches were minor and I came to the solution myself, without having to contact customer support.

Cons

I didn't think there were any features that seemed to be missing. However, my project I was working on was relatively simple and straightforward.

Produzioni musicali al volo con qualità audio ottime

Reviewed 15 days ago

Ottima esperienza con Musikmaker con il quale ho ottenuto piccole/grandi soddisfazioni. Consigliatissimo nelle piccole produzioni musicali.

Pros

Ad un costo contenuto è possibile ottenere prodotti audio di ottima qualità. La facilità nel montaggio delle tracce audio è veramente il punto forte. Ho utilizzato il prodotto fin dalla sua prima versione ed ancora, in certi casi, lo utilizzo per comporre velocemente basi musicali per spot video e pubblicità.

Cons

Non si possono chiedere funzioni avanzate come in software dedicati e professionali per la gestione di audio in studio di registrazione o produzioni di alto livello. Le funzioni semplificate (che sono il punto forte di questo software) diventano la sua debolezza quando si inizia a chiedere di più.

Quick Idea grabber

Reviewed a year ago

If you want an easy DAW to capture ideas and play around with this will do the trick. Don't expect to do anything serious with it though.

Pros

It is fairly easy to start a music project with this software. Using midi was pretty easy to get to and figure out without any instruction. You can buy software instruments for a decent price.

Cons

Sometimes my projects would freeze up and I would lose what I was working on. On several occasions I had to restart a project when I couldn't edit any midi tracks.

Come personalizzare la musica a tuo piacimento

Reviewed 2 months ago

L'ho trovato davvero molto utile e importante nella realizzazione di tracce audio da inseriere nei video promozionali della mia azienda. Un software molto utile e alla mano.

Pros

Music Maker è un software molto utile e davvero interessante per chi vuole modificare tracce audio a proprio piacimento. Per chi vuole integrare la propria voce o uno strumento, o magari vuole inseriere un loop che si ripete, Musica Maker è il software perfetto. Dopo un pò di pratica tutto inizia a diventare più familiare ed alla mano.Che sia la versione gratis o la versione premium (acquistabile ad una cifra davvero irrisoria), Music Maker è il classico software che non deve mancare sul computer di chi ha bisogno di modificare tracce musicali.

Cons

Inizialmente ha bisogno di un pò di pratica per essere compreso ma una volta presa la mano va tutto in discesa.
