Product Description

Amazon.com Review

While there are plenty of at-home music-making programs to choose from these days, Magix Techno Music Maker has all the features and functions necessary for making your own videos to accompany your music.

The package is broadly aimed at beginners and experts alike. For those who are novices at digital home recording, the integral Song Wizard is constantly on hand to help you through the process. With a little nudge, the Song Wizard will show you how to use your mouse to select your musical instruments, to decide the length of a song, and to create and modify sounds and samples that will eventually go in the mix. Echo, reverb, timestretch, and pitchshift features are also available at the touch of a finger. The truly clever part comes when you press the Video button: a number of modules will appear, with small preview thumbnails to show what you're getting. Choose one of these and figures dance, screens go wild, and landscapes and cartoon characters do your most whimsical bidding. It's kind of like being Steven Spielberg without all the effort. Or money.

Extras include a rather splendid retro-style techno synthesizer, a similarly sassy hip-hop synth, a mixer, a copy function, and a kaleidoscope. And, when you're finally done with your Quincy Jones impression you can send your proud production to a friend via e-mail, or, remarkably, post it on the Magix Web site. --Sean Thomas

This review is from: Magix Techno Maker (CD-ROM)

Well,here you go.They have plenty of already made cool techno songs that you listen to forever and then once you get used of making your own music thats even funner.Im not a d.j. either but I can use this.Its easy...and im only 14. Games I recommend to buy: Worms 2, Age of Empires:Age of Kings, Gamefest:Classic Pinball Magic, Truly I think these are the best games on the market.

I think that Techno is a good music. I like the product. When I listen to the sounds and put them all together, they sound neat. You should buy it. Games I recommend: Worms 6, Delux Baseball 2, Hockey 4.0 for Mack, and the first demo disk on Playstation ever. Buy them.
