If you like digital music: trance, techno, house music and like using those creative right brain juices?...go with this..it's EXTREMELY EASY!! As a musician my whole life working with audio files, this is the most user friendly I've ever seen. it's fun and almost addictive! i reccomend it to anyone.

I was looking for an easy way to mix music for fun, and when I found the MTV Music Generator at such a low price I decided to try it out. I don't regret it at all. Using the Music Generator is so much fun-- mostly because it's so intuitive and hassle-free. You can make Rock, Techno, House, Beat or Bass & Drums tracks, choosing & editing hundreds of bass lines, drum loops, melodies, vocals, percussion and sound effects (like scratching). I was just a little dissappointed that you can't make hip-hop tracks, but considering the price, I can't complain. Besides making your own songs you can also join a group online in "Music Jam" and mix interactively with people from all over the world, or create a 3D video to accompany your song. You can also convert your songs to MP3 or WAV format if you want to burn them onto a CD. Overall, the MTV Music Generator is a great buy, I'd recommend it to anyone.

MTV Music Maker is fantastic! it is the best music software program on the market (even better than acid and a lot of other expensive programs). With it you can use a large collection of fantastic previous made loops, or--once your more advanced--you can make loops of your own! you can add tons of funky effects and make an endless about of groovy tunes. . .

The only problem is the poor quality in the sounds, keep in mind the sound quality is still good, but just as long as you keep your song to a minimum on the number of sounds at one time, for example: Bass and Synth and some Percussion will go great, but all that plus vocals, extra synth and more advanced musical combinations will turn up a little distorted. But the sound quality is still good enough to impress your friends, or maybe to add to a video cd of your own. But, as long as you don't care about having super professional sounding music you'll love this program!

I first bought and used this program back when it was only available on the Playstation, in 1999, and fell in love with it instantly. Disappointed in the limited memory a PS1 memory card offers, I immediately pounced on it when it came to PC, and I haven't regretted it yet. I have made, with this program, over fifteen songs. I HIGHLY recommend it.

I had written a previous review about being unable to install the software with any version of directx higher than version 7. As it turns out, their customer service rep told me how to get past the directx error that would prevent installation. After that however, the program would not run. Have been communicating with the customer rep for several days. According to the info on the jewelcase, ATI Rage Pro chipsets, (what I'm running), are supported. Still the program will not run. Customer service has tried to get it to run, and they did reply promptly, but at this time I can only give this program 1 star, as IMO, a well written program should not fail to run when it's requirements are met. This program did run at one time on my computer, the only two things that have changed on my machine is the Directx version, and the video,(turned off the integrated graphics and installed a video card). It is a good program, to bad it will no longer run.

Perfect for beginners. Great UI. It's been years since I used this, but I remember it being very cool. Now I use Cubase and Fruity Loops.

I love this software! Wouldn't believe me if I told you that I saw this in a store for 10 bucks over two years ago! Heck, it's probably even less than that now.

I've always wanted to make my own music, but making your own tracks are extremely easy with this software! If you get a hookup into the Internet, you can compete with other "musicians" and have a Music Jam! I know I sound like a nerd here, but I love the fact that you can be extremely creative with the pre-made beats and make something that is completely of your own doing. I haven't made my own riffs yet, I haven't had the time.

Some drawbacks: It doesn't play all the time. The sound goes out when you start playing (and for some older computers, this was the case with the DirectX setup; it's not compatible with them). At other times, when I did get to play it, the sound got distorted, and at other times it would cut off in the middle of a sound track (the program itself would shut down), and I had to start over again. Not good when you're getting to hear your track or adding another instrument! Don't forget to save when you can! And the vocals? Yuck! I just stick to the instrumentals.

Otherwise, if it runs well, anyone can enjoy it. You can easily mix genres of music and make them sound good, even danceable. If you get a hold of this cheap (but valuable) CD, you'll be possibly be making tracks better than the pros!

Ihe price is way to high why pay more than 38$ for the pc version of this game when it was out for only 25$ in stores at the time
