Review: For the money, this is a very powerful product. I was looking for a software package to edit my mp3 files before I burn them to a CD. You know how some songs have an annoying intro, or just go on forever? Now you can easily cut out pieces of the song or just fade out - and then burn them onto your favorite mix.

That's just the beginning. You can also:
overlap tracks (creating a non-stop mix)
separate left & right channels
fade in or fade out
add your own drum beats
speed up or slow down the song
create a loop
change effects like tone, distortion

and that's just what I've learned to use in the first week!

So if you're looking for a way to manipulate your music files and don't want to pay $$$ for a professional music studio, this is the way to go.

Review: it ain't at all easy. This interface is not user friendly. There are a multitude of features that require extensive practice to use effectively. Unlike many software programs, there is no "undo" command, so once you've messed things up, you have to start over again. The tutorials are amateur, and the printed quick start guide assumes you are not a novice. I'm glad I bought it, but know it will take more than the four weeks I have had it to figure out how to make it worth the money.

Review: Magix "see-hear-feel-create-lose work" should be there new and improved slogan. Overall this program is not horrible if it wasn't for some bugs. First off is the positive witch is for a relatively low price you can start remixing and editing music. This software comes with 2 programs one of witch is Remix R. This program is not very useful and the only thing of use I found is changing of the tempo of mp3s. Then you get the DJ Music Maker witch is done relatively well for a lower budget program. If you have the music and sound effects then you can make music relatively easy. Yep, now it's time of the negative. First of all this program is made in Germany and the programming could have been better done by a 12 year old. You often get messages in German and secondly, when you get an error message instead of being like a normal program some messages actually keep coming up over and over again, never stopping. The result you need to close the program and lose your work. Overall I think this is a decent program that is made bad by [the] programming. If I sound angry then so be it. After working over 5 hours on a song continuously I had an error message pop up so I had to close the program. Luckily I had just saved it, but what do you know the sounds and pieces do not load even though they worked 20 seconds ago. ... Also beware that if you have a computer that is not decently fast then this program may not work well. (I have a 1.3g processor w/ 384 mb of ram and I was experiencing some slow down with the music maker.)

Review: Most music Software just provides you with a mixer and a couple thousand samples to rearrange and then save the rearrangement. What this piece of software lets you do is scan audio CDs that you have in your collection or /wav files on your hard drive and manipulate the sounds you scan. /boggle What this means is that you can create your own samples and then make sounds out of that and then songs out of the loops, for a truly orginal sounding song rather than cut and paste versions of other people's sounds.

After you make some of your own songs you can then load two sets of songs up on their digital turntables and mix your own music together just like DJs in a club. It's pretty much the whole nine yards if you want to create truly orginal mixes of your own music. Fantastic!
