For all music lovers, for those who dream of becoming like I Daft Punk and of creating songs even without being master composers, a nice gift has arrived from the company Magix, which has released a free version of its famous Magix Music Maker program . This software is a very powerful sequencer that allows you to create music by mixing sounds and musical samples or chords already played together so as to put them together along a horizontal band timeline (multitrack).
You can therefore create a whole new song by combining different rhythms or playing some chords and setting bass loops in a loop so as to create remixes or dance music even of excellent quality.
The following is a brief description of a very complex program, which can be used to play with sounds or in a professional and advanced way.
The download of Magix Music Maker Free can be done from the official website of the program and is a free version with some limitations, namely: 425 sounds and loops, 1 Soundpool, 3 virtual instruments, 8 tracks and 8 effects.
To overcome these limits, which however do not affect the complete functioning of the program, you must buy the premium version from the Magix website.
Note that the installation brings with it a sponsor program that can be refused by asking to do a customized and non-automatic installation.
Those who have never used this type of program could immediately find a demo from which you understand how it works: the music plays the timeline in the center of the window, above which you can drag the sounds and tracks that, played together, with the mouse make up the song.
The free version allows you to add up to 8 tracks in the timeline which can be enough to create simple songs and for beginner use.
On the right is the Soundpool, with predefined audio loops.
Soundpool is one of the best features of this Music Maker because it includes multiple audio loops that can be combined together to create music almost automatically.
The free version of this music maker only has 1 Soundpool with 425 predefined audio loops which are bass laps, drums, guitar, strings, singing and other instruments.
Each category contains multiple audio tracks that you can simply drag in the timeline to start creating the song.
Below the timeline, you will see a keyboard or piano with which you can play chords and notes to add to the song.
The Master effects, selectable from the Effects menu at the top, allow you to modify and improve the sound quality of the music tracks.
They are compressor, reverb, 10-band equalizer, limiter and echo, each supplied with various predefined presets that can be applied to music tracks to modify sounds even to single audio loops.
In addition to master effects, you can also add other Distortion and Filters audio effects.
One of the 3 virtual instruments is the " Revolta 2 Synthesize r" musical synthesizer with which it will be possible to develop classic EDM synthesizers, new sounds and heavy basses with a 16-step sequencer that can be used to create personalized rhythms.
The free version of "Music Maker" offers 16 presets that you can edit and use on this synthesizer for creating new sounds
The other two instruments included in the free version of Magix Music Maker are the Concert Grand LE Piano, for playing chords and melodies with the piano and the Vita instrument, the sampler for playing instruments other than the included sound library.
Other tools included with the virtual guitar amplifier, called Vandal SE and the Midi editor, to create custom rhythms, melodies and chords using the PC keyboard and mouse.
To create a MIDI track you need to add a MIDI object to any of the tracks on the timeline and then open the MIDI editor by clicking on the panel to add your chords.
In addition to creating new music, you can also import existing music files and edit them with all the tools offered.
in the end it is possible to save each project in WAV, OGG format or as a Windows Media Audio file.
