A few months ago I found pleasure in it, just to tinker with Amazon reviews instead of Customerpictures small videos made from the pictures. Without background music, these "moving pictures" but not upbeat enough. Royalty free music gibts in the network, especially in Youtube, plenty. The problem is usually that each of these self-styled composer has its own rules for the use of his music. Specify the name of the video and a link to the site, or only the name or only the site that has annoyed me.
Only lay on the ground, "own" music behind the images of a video, I bought in anticipation MAGIX Music Maker 2014. With what I already speak well, I scratch probably only at the surface of what the program actually delivers. But my expectations were exceeded.
One can choose from six categories (Styles):
Chillout [Vol. 8th]
Dance [Vol. 1]
Dubstep [Vol. 2]
Hiphop [Vol. 15]
Rock Pop [Vol. 8th]
Techno [Vol. 16]
In each of these categories can be found, for each genre to match, corresponding sequences such as synthesizers, bass or drums. These individual sequences can also be combined as desired between the individual styles. Many of these sequences can even adjust the key [C major | D minor | E minor | F major | G major | A minor | B flat major), which increases the possibilities many times over. So far I have with each other and set "Block for block" each other manually. Copy and paste sometimes helps; o) just two days ago I found out that you can complete with the "Song Maker" with just a few clicks and in a matter of seconds with Title intro, verses [max. 2], refrain [max. May 3], Bridge and Outro produce. So easy as it gets if you only need music for background music.
Particularly simple and clear I find the menu. If you have "Meisterwek" has finished, you can save it as xxx.MMM file to secure it or to re-work. If the title appears perfect, you can do it easily as xxx.mp3 / WMA / WAVE file (and others) to save. I have not yet seen a single time in the User's Guide. As already mentioned this is due to the well-structured acting (for me) menu.
Just to make it even briefly to mention: The installation went smoothly. During the application, it was yet to no crash or the like. So the software is absolutely free of errors [Windows 7/64 bit].
My Conclusion:
I'm creating from the multitude of possibilities, "own" music absolutely thrilled. The function "Song Maker" you - even without the slightest musical knowledge - the opportunity to generate useful background music without great expenditure of time. I had not been the time for me to deal more with this Prgramm. Therefore, any queries I can probably not always answer satisfactorily. For MAGIX Music Maker 2014 I forgive a perfect score, because my expectations were exceeded.
