Cakewalk Pyro 2004

5 stars (Great value, easy to use, works great) - I've been reading the reviews for this product, and I have to say that I'm extremely surprised at how bad some of them are. I have a lot of old audio tapes with live recordings, and I wanted a way to convert them to digital format, edit the tracks, and possibly clean up some of the sound. Most software that offers these features is pretty expensive. The next cheapest alternative I found was $80. Since I am completely new to this, I wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much money. I didn't want my ignorance to get the best of me. I tripped over this product in a store, and purchased it without hesitation. A $30 mistake is much easier to swallow than an $80 mistake. The one thing I didn't do was read the reviews first, which I usually do. I have to say, I'm glad I didn't because they may have swayed me, and I can't complain. This software does exactly what I want it to do. It allows me to use a line-in to record from my tape deck to my PC. It allows me to easily cut the recording into tracks. This is made easier by the visualization feature. It's a lot easier to cut tracks when you can see the fluctuations in the volume. It allows me to do some simple sound cleaning. And an added bonus, which I hadn't considered, it allows me to record directly from streaming audio. So if a band or someone is playing a live show, I can capture it and enjoy it again. I wish I had this software years ago! For $30, you can't beat it! 4 stars (No Problem Mon) - I dunno what people's problem is, maybe they are using Windows 98 or something. But for Data back-up and music compilation, it couldn't be simpler or more reliable (so far -it's been a few months). So, what's the Problem? 1 stars (Never got it to work) - I had the same installation problems. THe program would install and I could open it, but nothing worked. I couldn't play any audio file. I just got the same error message that the file could not ...

Movie Edit Pro 10

5 stars (Lots of extras for less money.) - Movie edit pro now contains a special gui to aid in combining 2 or more clips via alpha channel or (blue, green, white, or black screen). There are so many features that I haven't looked at all of them. This version seems more stable than the previous version (fewer lock ups and it runs quicker on my ancient PC). 5 stars (Incredibly Awesome) - I have reviewed Movie Edit Pro 2004 and this program is A LOT better. The main thing that impressed me was that stability of the program, as well as Magix eliminating errors. It preloads the media files for you when you are importing or editing, to reduce skippy playback. When I say errors, I mean that with MEP2004, I had an error every movie I did. It was really annoying. MEP10 has eleminated those errors and provided more useful help in the help section. I love the new features! Surround sound: Oh yeah!. Now I can use my audigy 5.1 card when editing. The look of the program has improved to make it more modern. HD video and 16:9 sounds really cool. The new story maker is actually really cool. There are a ton of interesting effects and presets that you could use. I haven't yet tried to use the TV tuner part of the program, but that sounds pretty interesting. DV to MPEG2 sounds good because you can take camcorder footage and convert to MPEG while importing. Okay, now the DVD software that comes with this is not the best, but they have added things like the ability to move the titles and buttons anywhere on the menu, as well as 3D fonts. I haven't yet tried track-freezing, but it sounds like you can edit easier that way. Alright, now lets look at the price of this software. 60 bucks! For an editor this good! Thats amazing. This program supports features that almost no competitors have in the $50-$100. I think they should have at least made it $100. Whatever. Works for me. Definately a Best Buy. Magix has stepped it up a notch. This is good software! Ryan ...

Magix Music Maker 10 Deluxe

4 stars (Big Improvement Over MM2005 Deluxe, But Still Not Perfect) - I have been using Magix Music Maker since version 7, and have seen it progress in terms of stability and features. This version is the most capable and stable yet, although it is not without problems. To summarize the functionality of this application, it is a clone of Sony's Acid program. It is a loop sequencer with which you can quickly put together loop-based musical compositions. Included is a set of loops of varying styles to get you off the ground quickly, as well as a series of virtual synthesizers to create your own sounds. For the price, you get a lot right out of the box. Central to the program is the main sequencer, which is simply a specialized grid onto which you can drag and drop your loops and synthesizer tracks. There is the ability to individually manipulate track data by varying volume and adding fade in/out effects, as well as a rather extensive collection of special effects for creating 3D effects in your audio. There is also an integrated effects rack for tweaking and "fiddling" to get the sound just right. The synthesizers that are included are varied in nature and include a beat box, a drum machine, a "virtual drummer", copper, silver, classical guitar, a grand piano, an ambient sound generator, and a couple of others. While these are all useful, I have found that one cannot generate the "right sound" in every situation. Particularly limited is the new "LiViD" synth (Little Virtual Drummer) which seems to be just a loop-based drum generator with prerecorded tracks that allows you to tweak the drum tracks in a few interesting ways. While the built-in synthesizers may leave you wanting a little more, there is a VSTi host for integrating other synthesizers that are downloadable from the net to allow you a wider range of unique sounds. In MM2005D I had consistent problems with the VSTi host, but the problems seem to have been addressed in this new version. Adding a couple of...

Finale SongWriter

5 stars (Learning to read and write music) - I purchased SongWriter without knowing how effective it would be in teaching how to read and write music. It turns out that it is excellent... especially when you have a piano keyboard connected by MIDI to the computer. Very user friendly. ...

Music Creator Pro 24

2 stars (Great features, but partially unusable, with terrible suppor) - I bought Music Creator Pro to create sound tracks for the video projects I've been putting together, and it's a very capable set of tools. The MIDI and recorded sound mixing, effects, and automation would be perfect for my application - if they worked. The description of the product on Cakewalk's web site is accurate, and the user interface is not very difficult to understand. I installed the software on a fast Windows XP machine, and soon discovered that it would crash when the drum pattern paint tool was used. Cakewalk's tech support has been very slow in their responses, taking at least one day and sometimes more than four to respond. I still haven't received any help other than advice to reinstall the product (I did), make sure I have the latest drivers (I do), and delete a couple of configuration files (I did). The drum pattern tool still crashes the application, and in the course of working through the tutorials (the ones I can use) I have also discovered some features that appear to be globally disabled. Two weeks after installing the product, I'm simultaneously very impressed with the features and capabilities, and very disappointed with the responsiveness of Cakewalk's tech support. If everything worked the way it was supposed to, I would probably rate Music Creator Pro with five stars. [update] It's now a month since purchase, and the software still does not work correctly. Cakewalk will not support this product by telephone. If you call their (non-toll-free) support number, you are told that they only support Music Creator Pro by email. They have failed to respond to either of my last two email messages, the first of which was sent two weeks ago. ...

ACID Music Studio 5

5 stars (Great. Simple and easy to use.) - I wanted a simple full featured recording program that would rival Garageband and this is it. No complaints. Well worth the excellent price. 5 stars (I think this thing is AMAZING (But I'm a novice at this)!!!) - I can't believe there are NO reviews for this thing (as I write this)! I wanted this in mainly order to re-mix my favorite songs. I got pretty excited reading the box, and more excited when it arrived. I installed it and started running it and all of the sudden I found myself thinking "uh-oh, this is wayyyy over my head." But, like many programs, all you have to do is just start experimenting and playing around with it, and in no time, you will get the idea. The versatility this allows you to have with so many aspects of any track you import is incredible (and NO, I am not on Sony's payroll). The software comes with an honest-to-goodness, spiral-bound, hard-copy MANUAL! How rare these days! So you can be like me and take it to work to read on your breaks and then race home to try out the new techniques you read up on. The interface also has a "How Do I...?" button that covers a lot of varied functions, and it has a great, integrated, step-by-step approach that actually *teaches* you AS you do it. A great "hands-on" approach. I just can't begin to say how impressed I am at it's comprehensiveness and design. I sat with it for about 2 hours to do my first (serious) 4-minute-song re-mix, but when I was finished, I had a great track - all burned to inkjet-printed disc, and ready to give to my wife (it was one of her favorite songs). I like any software that actually allows me to *accomplish* something I really want to do, and this software did exactly that! Unless you're a super-techie who would stick his nose up at anything that runs with less than a $500 price tag, I think you'll be happy with this. I guess I should mention for those that want to *create* music from loops and so forth, it's still just as versatil...

4 stars (This product kicks.) - For the novice or the pro you can do a lot with this software. One negitive is the clicks and pops you hear when you are mixing and playing back a sample. However these clicks and pops don't get recorded so its just a listing problem not a final cut problem. ...

Apple GarageBand Jam Pack 4- Symphony Orchestra Mac

4 stars (Very Useful) - This product is amazing. IT allows you to do so many different things. You can mix and match loops to make virtually any sound. And if you want to make original music, the variety of instruments at your fingertips is almost endless. I've been using this product with garageband 2, and whether your composing music for a film or just messing around, this product is for you. I especially enjoy the brass and woodwind instruments they give you. It allows for a huge grand score, similar to a John Williams song. You can also do some awesome solo pieces. The violin is my favorite for solo stuff. It has such a beautiful sound! I can't really say anything negative about this product, except I wanted more instruments to use. They give you a lot, but I still wanted more. The thousands of loops and many instruments makes this pack well worth the money. 5 stars (garageband) - This is so cool! I really recommend it. It is so fun to make your own music with this program. It has all kinds of genres and all kinds of instruments. When you start making a song it is so fun that you can't stop. This a really fun passtime. ...
