Summary: absolutely "BLEW" my mind....
Review: THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. I LAY OUT LOTS OF LYRICS BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO USE ANY OF THE PC MUSIC CREATION TOOLS VERY WELL. WITH THE MADPLAYER I CREATE MY OWN BEATS, BASS LINES, AND LEADS INSTANTLY AND THEN LAY MY VOICE RIGHT IN... I AM SO AMAZED BY THIS PRODUCT. INITIALLY I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT AND WAS VERY SKEPTICAL OF WHAT IT WAS AND WHAT THE QUALITY OF THE MUSIC WOULD BE. AFTER GETTING IT AND PALYING AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY ITS POWER. I BROUGHT IT TO A FRIEND WHO IS A MUSICIAN AND PRODUCER OF SOME LOCAL UNDERGROUND HIP HOP, HE PLUGGED IT INTO HIS SOUND SYSTEM IN THE STUDIO AND COULD NOT BELIEVE THE SOUND QUALITY AND EASY OF USE. IN A MATTER OF MINUTES WE LAYED OUT A NICE SERIES OF TRACKS TO USE ON A CD WE RIPPED.
I HAVE HAD THIS PRODUCT FOR TWO WEEKS NOW AND KEEP GETTING MORE AND MORE HOOKED ON IT. I FIND THAT I BRING IT EVERYWHERE I GO AND JUST PLAY AROUND ALL THE TIME CREATING LOTS OF GREAT MUSIC. ON THING THAT WORKS GREAT IS TO USE JUNGLE OR DRUMnBASS STYLES AND SLOW THEM DOWN AND USE THEM TO LAY RAP VOCALS OVER. I ALSO FIND THAT I USE THE FM RADIO A LOT TO SAMPLE OFF OF... THE SAMPLES ARE THEN MIXED WITH THE MUSIC IN REAL TIME. QUALITY AND FEEL OF THE MADPLAYER ARE GREAT, I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE SILKY FEEL. MY ONLY COMPLAINT INITIALLY WAS THAT I WANTED TO SAVE SAMPLES IN REALTIME IN THE SONG AS I CREATED A SONG... I FOUND OUT YESTERDAY AFTER VISITING THE MADPLAYER WEBSITE THAT THE COMPANY IS RELEASING A FREE UPGRADE NEXT WEEK THAT WILL LET ME DO THAT... I ALSO DO QUITE A LOT OF VIDEO EDITING AND HAVE BEEN USING THE MADPLAYER TO GENERATE BACKING TRACKS FOR THE VIDEOS... SINCE WHAT COMES OUT OF THE MADPLAYER IS COPYWRITE FREE "ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY" I AM FREELY USING THE MUSIC AND MAKING SOME GREAT VIDEOS AND DVD'S FOR MY FRIENDS.
IN SUMMARY, THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST PERSONALLY EMPOWERING I HAVE EVER SEEN. ITS HAS GIVEN ME CONFIDENCE TO CREAT MUSIC, SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT HAVE MUCH OF A FEW WEEKS AGO.....

Summary: Making Beautiful Movie Music Together
Review: This is a product that keeps getting better and better with each upgrade that the company posts on its website for free. The last update turned it into a whole new product by letting me record my voice in realtime over the music and save on the smart media card. It is now as close to a portable recording studio as one can get. I am into making beats and rhyming over with my teenagers and with this product it is now so easy to do. Why am I writing a review, because my kids can not put it down long enough to write one on their own. We are talking of getting another one for an upcoming birthday present.David "dubdub" Henderson

Summary: MadPlayer more than lives up to the hype on the box!
Review: When I got my MadPlayer, I wasn't really sure if it would live up to the hype on the box, but I found out fast that this little unit really DOES MORE than they say it can. It lets me create my own CD-quality songs, and I may not win a Grammy with them, but they sound real good to me. I even put the CD of Madsongs I made (I love that I can burn my own MadCDs...) on my stereo when my friends came over, and they wanted to know where I got the hot trax. They didn't believe me when I said I made them, but then I showed them my MadPlayer and made a song, right there on the spot with it, and now they all want one, too. That was a while ago, and since then I really got into all the stuff you can do wiht the MadPlayer (I needed to get with the Manual for that, and that was definitely worth the study!) Now that I got the free upgrades off the MadWaves' web site, it's even easier for me to make music, cause now with what I learned and with the upgrades I can record my vocals and sounds and stuff in real time, burn them to my hard drive, and lots of other cool stuff. I'll never be a professional musician, but with MadPlayer I don't need to be because me and my friends think MadPlayer already makes me sound like one.
