In my case, I had the software installed into the usual C:\Program Files, and everything else on a different physical drive. Very handy if you want the core program on your C: drive, for example, and sound files, project files, etc, stored elsewhere. Custom allows you to specify the installation directory, and directories for the software to store soundbanks, project files, etc. Two files, the installer and a readme with the installations instructions, which are simple enough double click on setup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts.

For me, on an 80Mbit fibre connection its not so bad (a couple of minutes), but I can see that anyone on a slow DSL connection this is an issue. but so far it seems to work under Vista SP2 fine!įirst, lets be upfront with regards to the biggest drawback concerning todays giveaway: it is a 680MB download.

When install is complete it will offer to run music maker on closing the installer and the program starts up, you may need to configure the ASIO driver to use the proper sound output device, I did as it tried to use the HDMI digital output despite no HDMI display device being plugged in.

Now if you run the executable mm25_setup.exe in the same folder it will allow you to install the product under Windows Vista SP2! Open the ini file in say notepad.exe and scroll down to the line: that's not the end of the story! because the installer is not wrapped in the GAOTD wrapper we can extract the contents into a new folder and FIX that restrictive setting! Where the contents are extracted into a folder called "setup", navigate to setup\product\mm25_SetupInfo.ini Running this on i3 dual-core 3.7Mhz machine with 8GB ram, Windows 10.ĭespite the indifference over the specs of this free edition I got curious if this truely was NOT vista SP2 compatible like the system requirements and their website says and initially with the embedded installer as configured it does indeed refuse to install under Vista SP2 demanding Windows 7 or above to proceed. This probably explains why it was limited to eight tracks.

That makes it IMPOSSIBLE to do any kind of sound layering by repeating, for example, the same short vocal loop offset in time across two or three tracks, and still have sufficient tracks left to create a rich sounding song.īut no matter - when I did that as an experiment, and had eight tracks occupied at once, the sound produced was full of clicks, pops and stutters, the hallmark of a piece of software which is not handling Windows sound correctly. I deleted #8, and was able to add it back with "Add Track".

Sometimes it disappears completely.Īlso - there are ONLY EIGHT TRACKS! At least if there are more, I haven't figured out how to make the program add them. It appears you can place it at a starting point mid-song and start playing from there, but - sometimes it will come back to that spot when the end is reached, and sometimes it will go back to the very beginning. Plus, the "red moving line" seems to have a mind of its own. But it's unbelievably frustrating not to be able to build a song by adding pieces without having to deal with this annoying bug. If you play around with the "red moving line" a lot, eventually you can get it to recognize the new extent of the timeline and have it play the whole thing. As I add loops on to the end of the timeline, 90% of the time the program does NOT recognize that the loop has been added, and plays about 1/2 second of the new piece then jumps back to the beginning. Turns out the purchased sound loops only work when you are logged into the store through the program! God only knows why.īut as it turns out, the program is basically unusable. cannot be read by MAGIX Music Maker" error.
