Home video enthusiasts will find that the program makes it simple to marry video to audio tracks and upload them directly onto YouTube. Catooh contains drum loops, sound effects and even vocals. For example, if the software doesn’t provide a specific sound that you need, you can harness the power of Catooh, an extensive online content library, to find it. Magix has included some impressive online extras for its registered users. Music Maker can also export files to be used on portable devices such as iPods, iPhones and Creative Zen. There are no surprises in terms of audio import options which include line-in, sound cards, MIDI and CD.

One minor drawback is that it doesn't include a voice reduction feature, making it difficult/impossible to remove vocals from recordings and thereby unsuitable for creating karaoke tracks. Included effects, such as reverb, chorus, flanger and cross-fade, can be easily executed but you may find yourself spending a few days exploring the possibilities just because it’s so fun. Music Maker Plus includes a processor, channel mixer, infinite cue points, effects previewer, equalizer and frequency tuner – to name a few editing tools. Of course, this translated into longer wait times during set-up but it didn’t make the installation itself any more complicated and it didn’t require a restart. The installation file is much larger than either WavePad or Acoustica. Whether you are mixing a sound track for your home movies, or DJ creating a new dance track, there are plenty of effects, loops and editing options to keep you going - plus, Music Maker is just plain fun to use. The program is suitable for any ability, whether seasoned professional or complete beginner, thanks to its simple and intuitive 'easy mode'.

The extensive features set and infinite customization capability, make it a great choice for anyone who wants to create audio tracks or enhance existing files. Both beginners and advanced users who aspire to produce professional results will not be disappointed by MAGIX Music Maker 2023 Plus Edition.
