Now I have tried many things.
At first I tried it with Cubase, Addictive Drums and a USB interface for my guitar (Line 6).
This, however, I gave sometime frustrated, since I had a) problems with the interface and its drivers, and b) Cubase but is damn complex and you probably first have to einfuchsen eternally. That was me then but far too expensive for my guitar + bass + Schalgzeug + Voice (and most only 3 chords) - projects. Certainly would be with the setup but have been possible if you as Cubase dominated sometime.
My next attempt was then the Boss BR-800th I liked the fact that you could super quick easy losjammen without PC. However, then it lacked basic things like copy and paste on the device and it was also a nightmare to get the boss's own format in good quality on the PC. I would recommend traveling the Boss for sketching song ideas certainly, but to accommodate an entire song (incl. Drum programming), it is my opinion too restrictive.
Then after some time of pausing again I wanted a try. . Earlier today yes and partly decried something:
The Magix Music Maker. Since the investment (especially for non-current version), however, was manageable, I risked it a try and got me the 2014er standard version and what can I say?
I'm excited! The whole thing is, without having read the Bedieungsanleitung, very intuitive to use. The now newly acquired Interface (Steinberg CI1), the Music Maker recognized immediately and I can now nicely with a drum loop record the guitar, assign effects etc. Per contained Midi editor is finally the accompanying drums relatively easy to customize and fine-tuning it sounds even quite alive (here and there on the Velocity screws etc.). An Addictive Drums there is sound but no zoom. For 29, - EUR Magix still has but a virtual instrument "rock drums" on. Maybe I invest still at times.
Even the song is picked up cleanly and clearly through a Shure Beta Clone and the Steinberg Interface and the various versungenen tones can often still be saved (which is even easier and more goes into the 2015er version to correct the vocals).
After installation, the way a small update was still loaded, which is to fix bugs.
Lockups or similar I have not had problems, but I had made a conscious decision for the 2014er version because Magix releases like walking unstable for a while (= be released too early).
Have the whole on a Win7 64, i5-2500K processor with 8GB Ram. Works just fine.
As it is with techno, hip hop, etc., I can not judge. The sounds that I have listened to it, are in my opinion not bad if the Music Maker offers all the effects that one needs in the area so I do not know.
