Review: This Magix Music Maker 2004 Deluxe software is better than I expected. As a user of magix products I am aware of their quality but what I have now I could not honestly anticipate until I loaded it on to the hard drive of my PC. The changes from previous incarnations are subtle but make it easier to use. A novice will be encouraged to find it easy to use and create great sounds while more of an expert will enjoy discovering what more it can do. The samples themselves sound fuller and not as dark as previous magix samples. The easy to use files make it easier to identify sounds that blend well together. The synths have been improved and the new guitar synth, and piano synth are a challenge to the more advanced users. With all the other new features such as the vocaliser who needs to hire an expensive studio to do demos? The style of music that can be made is wide but I don't like the Nu Metal guitars, I'll stick with my Fender Strat thanx, but the drums are great. The video clips are good but to be honest they are not what I'm most interested in. There is a danger that if you use this product you will become adicted. If this is the case then there are not enough samples contained on the discs. I'm eagerly waiting for the soundpool collections vol 5 to 8 to be released. All in all, this is a great product to begin with or even to continue and become an expert. |
