Magix Music Maker and Sound Pool

Magix Music Maker Basics with the Sound Pool Collection

My kids are really into the odd computer programs and this was one that they really wanted for a Christmas present. We purchased it and I am really glad we did. You can create songs, wave files and sound tracks to use for presentations, slide shows or just to enjoy listening to on your own. The Magix Music Maker is up to version 11 and they just keep improving it. Here are some of the key features that Music Maker has:

Real 5.1 Surround Sound
Mastering Suite
Vocal Tuning
Multi-sampler
Automatic harmony recognition
Studio reverb effects
and Over 2,500 sounds

We purchased version 8 and they have gone through some changes since that one pretty quickly. We also purchased Magix Sound Pool collection to have a starting library of wave sounds to use in creating music. The sound pool comes with 5000 wave files, 8.5 Gigabytes, of music and some vocals. Mostly it's small loops of sounds using one or a few instruments that you can add into the Magix Music Maker to create your sound creation.

The Sound Pool contains these collections of music:

70's Funk
90's Disco
Ambient
Dance Electro
Disco House
Drums and Bass
Easy Listening
Hip Hop
One Shots
Rock Pop
Techno Trance

It also includes a sample demo created from each of these collections to show what you can do with the Sound Pool and Music Maker. There are several collections with varying types and sizes of sound files that you can purchase.

That catchy ring tone with the silly looking alien is not the only music creation you can make. You can create some really good waves files to add to presentations, slide shows and just about anything you want to add wave files to. The Magix Music Maker comes with audio codecs, synthesizer, and audio mixer to create music. You can also purchase the versions of Music Maker that creates accompanying visual effects like the ones you see when you use most any wave file players like iTunes or Windows Media Player.
