5.0 out of 5 stars For what it is...OUTSTANDING, May 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Music Studio 7 (CD-ROM)

I have used Magix Samplitude in a professional studio setting, editing radio commercials and doing audio for video work. This product is about three features short of the $1,700 (approx.) version of their pro audio program, Samplitude. It's incredible. When I first saw it, I thought, "They must have stripped the program bare, but at least it has the interface". Upon receiving this product, I was shocked, it's essentially Samplitude Studio, and it has a full MIDI sequencer to boot, with some of the most realistic instrumentation I've ever heard.

It doesn't record 96K audio (only up to 48K - perfectly suited for pro work), can't burn CD's directly from the timeline (who doesn't have alternate CD burning software these days? - it's built into WinXP and others), and doesn't have a built in de-esser (which you can emulate with it's extensive EQ settings).

All in all, this is an incredible program that is mature, stable and has most if not all of the features of it's big brother Samplitude, which has become a staple in studio settings.

I'm buying two more for my business!

3.0 out of 5 stars Silly cripplers are a flaw, May 30, 2002

I bought this hoping for something somewhat more intuitive than Cakewalk or SoundForge to cut some MIDI files I wrote into MP3's and then burn them onto an audio CD so I could send them to friends.

The plus side is that it accomplished this task fairly easily and stably --- always a must for Windows software running complex artistic tasks in real time. I did add some minor echo and reverb special effects with the software to some of the MIDIs. Higher levels add annoying white noise and sound awful. You have to tinker with the virtual knobs to get the sound you want.

The biggest flaw in the package involves MP3 files, and it's a whopper. They try to limit you to writing thirty, and once you are over the limit they want to nick you for more money. Whoever designed this moronic misfeature must have never played around with the Windows Sound Recorder. Load in a .WAV file, and that programme that came with my Win98 is happily to save the file as a Windows .WAV with MPEG-3 compression. All it takes then is to change the filename extension and there you have an MP3. Have to lower my rating on account of this stupid and easily evaded cripple.

This software might be useful to people who want to get some simple tasks done and don't need a high end package. But if you use it, you have to have the patience to suffer fools gladly.

1.0 out of 5 stars YIKES....I ONLY HAVE TWO WORDS...., October 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Music Studio 7 (CD-ROM)

DON'T BUY. O.k. I have a few more...this thing crashed more than a drunk pilot. It lagged and locked up on me so many times i'm going cross-eyed. I liked version 5 deluxe a heckuvalot better than this. I was warned about 6 so i stayed away. I wish i were warned about this one. Give this vampire the old wooden stake! DEFINITELY buy 5 over 6 or 7. Or just stay away and find a nice sonic foundry program. They cost a whole lot more...but if you can afford it...get it.If not, look around for magix music studio 5 deluxe. You won't be sorry.
