Our Review

Magix Music Maker free version

If you’re determined to give Magix Music Maker a try, you’re in luck. You can download this program on your PC and try it for as long as you want for free. However, there’s a catch. There are three versions of Magix Music Maker, each of which packs more features than the previous one.

Naturally, the free one has the least amount of features, while the following two have gradually more feats. We’ve included an edition comparison table just below, for your convenience:

Therefore, depending on your music production needs, you are free to choose the edition you’re more inclined to. However, we’d recommend to download the free edition and see if it fits your needs, to begin with. The Plus and Premium versions aren’t exactly expensive, but you should be able to tell right away if Magix Music Maker is what you’re looking for, even from the free version.

How to install Magix Music Maker

It’s worth mentioning that Magix Music Maker comes with a downloader, so you have to let it retrieve the installer first. The installer components are worth roughly 800 MBs in size, so depending on your Internet connection, it might take a while.

However, once the content is fetched, the setup process unfolds pretty quickly. You can adjust a bunch of options such as destination paths and desktop icon creation. Please note that by default, Magix Music Maker installs additional software that you might not need. Make sure you uncheck this option during installation if you don’t want extra software on your PC.

Magix Music Maker’s interface

Magix Music Maker greets you with a familiar, user-friendly interface. There’s a piano roll at the bottom of the screen and a bunch of tracks in the center. You can find loops, instruments, a file manager and the Magix store at the right part of the main window.

Underneath you can view the content of the item you’ve selected. For instance, you can access soundpools (which are collections of songs), and view their content sorted by instrument type. Clicking an instrument lets you perform a quick leap to the specified sub-category.

If you feel like the basic free content is not enough, you can head to the store section of the program and purchase additional soundpools. Therefore, you can enhance the tool’s usability without having to purchase the Plus or Premium editions.

How to set up Magix Music Maker

If you’re not exactly happy with how things are in the audio dubbing software tool or just want to take a look around, you can access the configuration section. Here you’ll be able to adjust general options, but also some parameters regarding the import, Audio/MIDI, video, and folders.

For instance, you can set the playback autoscrolling feature to Mute, Slow, or Fast. More so, you can save project backup automatically at a given interval, set the program interface to dim when opening dialogs, hide news, choose text size for readability and touch, display notifications, automatically check the media pool, choose the desired audio quality, or hide unavailable loops.

You can configure more than just what we’ve mentioned, but we’ll let you discover these adjustable settings all by yourself. We’re not here to spoil your fun, after all.
