Since Dec.21, Chip.de (German) are giving this away via their 'Adventskalender'.

MM2013FULLFREE

According to the description this is the Full Version of the program, i.e. not a limited 'Silver' or 'Soundcloud' Edition, which means it might be interesting.

Does anyone have some more info on this software? How good is it? Could this actually be used as a 'daw' or is it more or less just a loop arranger? And what about plugin support? Google wasnt really helpful in finding out and the Magix site doesnt seem to work properly here.

Any and all info appreciated.

Think of it like:

There is MM2013, then MM2014 and probably 2015.
Above MM is Music Studio(MS) with the same annual stuff.
Above MS is SMS - Sampltitude Music Studio and annual stuff.
Above SMS is Samplitude ProX2.

So imagine really cut down version - years ago.

So look at MM and what is new for 2014 version, unless 2015 arrived.

SMS I tested for 2014 and 2015 and is very good value for money.
In the same range is Cubase Elements - both price and featurewise.
In the same range is Mixcraft 7 - better featurewise than both above actually but same pricerange.

But Free is free - so get a taste of it. But SMS CE and MC is really little money for what you get.

Fun to play around with. Great for making quick arrangements. I don't understand why it is so looked down upon. It made me hungry for a real daw

Good point - I guess I'm still one of those feature-hunters.

I guess Music Maker 20xx is the base version

If the base version comes with the Revolta2 synth, it sure is a great freebie

Perhaps this will help?

For beginners Magix Music Maker is a great DAW, especially with the tons of samples and loops!

If I had some kids with interest in music, I'd give it to them...

Gave it a quick install (not easy for an English only speaker) and Revolta did not appear to be a part of the software. That's as far as I could tell though because I couldn't understand most of the text that was being displayed to me.

Perhaps others will be more informative than myself

There's really no option to change the language?

But are they cleared for use in tracks?

As I remember one of the drawbacks with Magix DAW's is that sample content is not cleared. If you use samples in a track and want to put that out, you need to pay more.

For the Soundpool(s) you need to buy a commercial license - if you want to use them commercially -, for the other samples not, as far as I know...

None that I could read!

That's why I said for kids it's a great DAW to get into music production. I wouldn't use the sample content to produce commercial music...

There are some sample based instrument, but the main sample download content is Soundpool aint it?
