With the New MAGIX Music Maker 14 -- It's All About Making Your Own Music

MIAMI, FL, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
With the new MAGIX Music Maker 14, the worldwide music software market
leader(1)
presents more than just another release of its original program for
loop-based music production. This latest version includes virtual MIDI
instruments for authentic e-guitars and orchestral sounds, as well as over 1,500
audio loops that sound custom-produced, making it a universal tool for creating
all kinds
of music. This latest edition takes the whole art of creating music on your PC
beyond Dance and Electronica to show its strengths in Rock, Hip Hop, R&B,
Latin and other mainstream pop genres. The new MAGIX Music Maker 14 is
available at top retailers, online partners and directly from the MAGIX
website at http://www.magix.com/us/music-maker/.

Professional results for both beginners and advanced users

MAGIX Music Maker 14 remains the easiest solution for creating
professional-sounding music. Beginners without any musical background or
previous technical knowledge can quickly experience success. Advanced
usersvalue the straightforward workflow and generous space for ideas by taking
full
advantage of the 64 built-in tracks. The new Vital Instruments, named after
their outstanding sound quality and authenticity, complete the stylistic
spectrum of both versions, while the Power Chords create rocking electrical
guitar sound. In addition, MAGIX Music Maker 14 contains high-quality MIDI
orchestra instruments like strings, woodwinds and brass to round off your music
repertoire.

Performing live becomes even easier

With Live Performer, single sequences of the song can be assigned to
individual keys. When these keys are activated, the corresponding sequence will
sound precisely on the beat. This is especially useful for live performances,
when you may decide which passage to play and how often according to the mood
of the crowd. Vital Instruments can also be played live, so that, for example,
the performer can be accompanied by a guitar, piano or an orchestral ensemble.
For those who would rather rely on professionally-produced sound loops,
MAGIX Music Maker 14 offers over 1,500 new audio and MIDI loops from all genres
created by internationally recognized producers.

Collaborate with other musicians worldwide

The User Live Chat complements the band rehearsal room in MAGIX Music
Maker14, allowing the user to connect and exchange knowledge with others
directly
from within the program. With Screen Sharing, all processes can be displayed
on the screen of another PC user, for example, showing the steps to creating a
remix. The overriding principle of all tools in MAGIX Music Maker 14 is that
their ease-of-use lets you concentrate on the main thing: making music.
