 People
who make music on their PCs often take it rather seriously. They've
got MIDI keyboards, fantastic drum sets, and more samples than
you've got shareware. Last year young Daniel Beddingfield's "Gotta
Get Thru This" got to number one - and it was made on his
home PC. In 1997 a youngster using the pseudonym 'White Town'
got to number one with a track called 'Your Woman' that he the
wrote on his laptop. Using our fantastic full version of MusicMaker,
you can get fantastic results first time.
Music Maker is a great program that lets you make your own tracks
without all this fuss. It's like baking a rich sonic cake. You
build your piece layer by layer, adding different beats and samples
to eight separate tracks until the finished product is something
you're happy with. The software also lets you source your own
snippets of sound by nicking different bits and bobs from your
favourite CDs and MP3s. When you've finished you can save your
track in a popular audio format or upload it to the Magix website
for all to hear.
It's not just audio though - to complete the experience you can
also mix in a video backdrop of gyrating girls and psychadelic
patterns for you to nod along to. And if you really must, you
can even import your own MPEG clips that feature you grooving
along to the track you produced.
It comes with buckets of professionally produced sound and video
samples for you to muck around with, and you can also use loads
of great various synthesiser plug-ins to help create your own
sounds. If you want to use MIDI files to remote control soundcards,
external samplers or synthesisers then you can do - they're intergrated
into the software. And once you've exhausted your own CD collection's
sounds and samples don't worry - there's thousands more on the
web.
Upgrade
Music Maker 6 provides lots of opportunity to make great songs
on your PC, but what happens when you want to take your tunes
to the next level? Well. Magix Music Maker 7 is the next step
up. It's packed with lots of features that are missing from the
great version we gave away. With Music Maker 7 you get a song
wizard that makes it incredibly easy to make a song from scratch.
You also get support for the blindingly popular Windows Media
and Real Media file formats, allowing you to save your work so
that others can listen to it through a web browser. You can also
go much higher than eight tracks, adding more layers to your tunes
when you want to add depth and texture.
There are two versions you can pick from. The Classic version
costs £29.99, and the Deluxe version costs £59.99.
Both are laden full of features that provide state of the art
recording studio technology, and an expanded range of powerful
but easy to use tools that let you make music and produce videos
faster and more straightforward.
Classic Version
The classic version makes a great introduction to the world of
PC music making. You can build songs up to 64 tracks deep, and
enjoy access to over 2000 sound and video clips from genres including
hip hop, disco, rock and Eighties that promise to spice up your
productions no end.
Deluxe Version
Pay a little extra for the souped up version of MusicMaker and
you enjoy a raft of extra features. There's 96 possible track
layers to work with, and over 3000 sound and video samples. You
can also burn straight to CDs, and a VST effect plug-in converter.
