Has been tested on several computers and notebooks in current hardware configuration under the Microsoft Windows versions XP, 7 and 8 in 32 and 64-bit configuration.
After completion of the principle problem, but some sluggish install the program (thankfully program-related functions can not be deselected) was the starting acceptably quickly and shows a contemporary uncluttered user interface.
The extensive and increasingly higher, but stylistically still expandable SoundPool can be very clear, but not quite fall freely manage. Nevertheless, the stability achieved in total a clear progress. Grown significantly is the amount of usable filters and effects.
The partially strongly present in older versions latencies when recording via MIDI keyboards have now been reduced to an acceptable level, thereby lengthy post noticeably reduced and more efficient working possible.
Fortunately, the software is already attractively priced in the context of the 20-year anniversary at the MAGIX Music Studio as an encore.
My Conclusion:
If you want to from the point of manageable cost and mainly in upscale amateurs produce music, gets to the MAGIX Music Maker 2013 despite minor defects recommended program with very extensive functionality and a high fun factor.
A comprehensive musical training is not mandatory for sonically pleasing results.
The largely intuitive not presents the user with too much mystery, which help the included sample videos.
To further edit the sound material the MAGIX Music Studio should be a permanent part of the software.
The price / performance ratio I as well want to call up very well.
