Sure it doesn't have the same capabilities of other DAWs, and I bet it'd be easier for someone older to figure out more complex interfaces.but it most certainly allows users to focus on learning about effects and production basics without having to spend 1000 years learning the interface itself. I used Magix Music Maker for about 3 or 4 years before moving onto Acoutica's Mixcraft, and ultimately into Studio One, Ableton, and Reason (the latter two being what I use most frequently), but to this day, I always tell first-timers about Magix Music Maker. I had a casio keyboard that had MIDI capabilities, so I made all of my tracks using that or clicking notes into the MIDI editor.


It had everything I needed to quickly and simply make digital music. The first thing I noticed was how simple everything was. I stumbled across Magix Music Maker back in 2007 or 2008. (My computer was not the quickest, everything froze frequently- and I was quite an impatient little girl.) I started messing around with DAWs around 11 or 12 years old (I'm 24 now), and I'm going to be very honest: I thought that FL Studio's interface looked like controls on a rocket ship, and because I didn't understand how to cleanly manage all of the windows for tracks, effects, instruments, etc.it was just too complicated and too resource heavy. When asked "What's the first DAW you've ever used?", more often than not, people will respond 'FL Studio' or 'Garageband', with 'Audacity' sneaking into a few responses.īut I want to know: Did anyone else start out with Magix Music Maker?
