When you first initiate the program, you can view an online introductory video, download sound packages for free, or load a demo song. MAGIX Music Maker is a complex software, so novices would have a hard time getting around it, but they have plenty of interactive tutorials at their disposal, and they can also access online forums for help.

The view mode of the slick interface can be switched from easy to advanced, and you can choose from three music styles – hip-hop, alternative rock and techno trance. Each category comes with its own sample instruments. Hip-hop contains bass, drums, sound effects, pads, sequences, string, synth and vocals, alternative rock has bass, drums, guitar, keys, pads, synth and vocals, while techno trance instruments include bass, drums, pads, percussions, sequences, synth and vocals.

The InfoBox displayed on the lower right corner of the interface guides you every step of the way. In order to create a song, you simply have to drag sounds from the media pool to the arranger.

You can zoom in and out of the view, use SoundVision to show all available sounds graphically, use a real-time mixer with master effects to professionally mix all the tracks within an arrangement, use BeatBox to easily create beats, apply audio effects (e.g. resampling, time-stretching, pitch-shifting, Gater, reverb, echo, equalizer, compressor, distortion, essentialFX), and more.

We had a lot of fun exploring MAGIX Music Maker, and we did not find any errors. The program uses a massive amount of system resources, which is normal, and its audio effects are trully professional. We definitely recommend it to all users.
