MAGIX Music Maker 2014 - PC/Mac - £59.99 (Premium version £89.99)
THANK goodness it's autumn because it's this time of the year when the folk at MAGIX delight us all with yet another top-notch offering in the form of the ever-popular Music Maker.
It's simply one of those rare products you cannot fault or do without.
They know their game. They add bells and whistles every year but leave the core intact knowing full well this product is head and shoulders above many of the high-end and damn expensive DAWs on the market today - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
How the heck do MAGIX keep turning out superb music programs yet keep the prices within easy reach of all budgets?
Yet again we have a musical masterpiece with MM 2014 - ideal for beginners, intermediate musical adventurers and pros alike.
No rocket science, no mega-thick manuals, just pure pleasure and enjoyment.
I have been playing about with MAGIX products ever since they emerged as the new 'must-have' product since the demise of eJay and the good old 'Band in a Box' many years ago now.
The Music Maker range is so popular worldwide that even Steinberg over the years have attempted to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with MAGIX with their own 'similar product' called Sequel but to my mind MM remains the King.
The key to this program is it's sheer simplicity.
Drag, drop, mix, master - there's your track!
And never forget, Germans are renowned as the world leaders when it comes to sound production (Grundig, Sennheiser - need I say more?) so when it comes to the squillions of loops and samples included you will hear the ace quality ooze from every note.
You get loads of construction kits which each contain parts in seven keys so you have loads of scope for mixing and matching and genres include Rock/Pop, Techno, Hip-Hop, Dance, Chillout to name but five AND don't forget to also buy the Soundpool DVD Collection 20 which gives you 8.000+ sounds. Enough to keep you going all year until MM 2015!
In the 'next step up' Premium version you get the more advanced mixing program with 5.1 surround capability plus the added bonus of Music Studio 2 - free of charge yet worth £49.99 on its own!
I cannot speak highly enough of anything MM so head on over to the site to see for yourself.
