I really liked Magix Music Maker 2004 Deluxe. I got it for 50 bucks new at Meijer. It installed easy but every once in a while it had a problem and it would exit the program. It doesn't do it anymore so I think I have it figured out. I already made 2 songs from scratch that sound unbelievable! This software kicks ass when it comes to making great music. There are way too many features to describe in just one review. Definetly get this though if you want to make up music or record your own. It will save you a lot of money.
