magix music maker 16 how to add to soundpools

While it would be a great program for people who have a bigger interest in creating their own sounds (amateurs and professionals) it is also great to play around with and finding out just how easy some of the effects in your favourite pop tunes can be created. It is great fun to use, being able to add in your own sounds to existing tracks, changing pitch and tempo or even adding echo and reverb (among other effects). Overall I found Music Maker to be very powerful, fast and easy to use (even for me as a beginner). Once you are happy with your track you use the Song Maker to create your finished track and can export it into a variety of different formats (mp3, WAV, WMA etc.) or can burn it straight to a CD. Once laid out you can then record your track or playback to preview it. Once you have your basic track / loops you can then start adding it more loops, instruments, vocals or sounds, rearrange them, cut bits out, fade bits in/out etc. The screen layout is very easy to understand and you drag your loops, instruments etc.

It has a wide range of instruments you can use to add into your tracks and with it all being drop and drag it is very simple to use, even for a beginner with no musical experience. Music Maker comes with 1000s of loops and sounds for you to create your own track from scratch or edit an existing track and comes with some samples (jazz, hip hop, rick, techno etc.) that you can play with. So I started by watching some of the very handy tutorial videos (you can find them here). So after installing, it was time to start using. You will also need Windows 7 or above to use (I am using it with Windows 10). Installation is straightforward from DVD or digital download but you do require a lot of disc space, around 7.5GB, a minimum of 2GB RAM and 2Ghz processor. Yes, you will have to spend a bit of time getting acquainted and learning it, but that is the same of any new software you would use. Although the software at first glance looks like it will be complicated, it really isn’t. Music Maker by MAGIX lets you create your own music and sound, produce your own songs and all very easily using your PC.
