MAGIX Music Maker 11 Deluxe Review

Good Points
What I like about the programs is that it gives you exactly what information you need to know and shows you how to use the digital and audio parts for recording and charting your music so you don't have to chart it yourself by hand. That alone is amazing! It's what I like best since I do everything myself.

I've learned more from this softwsare than Pro-Tools, Sonar, or Cakewalk put together.

Bad Points
PAY ATTENTION!
This software demonstrates the basics of using the software, but doesn't demonstrate the use of the acoustic drums and electronics drums.

Whatever you do...
DO NOT USE COMPRESSION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR WHATEVER SOUND YOU ARE RECORDING!
If you ever listened to my first album recordings, you'll understand why they turned out the way they did!

General Comments
The Germans gave us some great engineering and this is one of them. It's actually worth more than what they are currently selling it for. I got mine for under $100 bucks, which is priced appropriately for the contents inside the programs.



This is the only affordable out there if you are truly on a budget.

However, if you're gonna spend some booco bucks, then go with Pro Tools, Sonar or Cakewalk.



I have figured out a better way to use the audio program without the use of any compression at all!



When you run out of mp3's, just place an order for more and you'll get a whole lot more to make more than enough mp3's.



As for the customer service, but you get more bang for your buck when you can figure out how to use the digital programs, the drums and drum machines.
