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...

Music Maker 2005 Deluxe

5 stars (music maker rocks) - i havent had music maker all that long but from what ive seen from it so far it really is quite impressive. As far as ease of use is concerned, most functions can be mastered in just a few minutes without having to resort to the index/help files. The large selection of synths and conversion options (mp3, ogg etc.) really make it worth the 30 dollars i paid for it. i thoroughly recommend it. 1 stars (buyer BEWARE!) - The one thing that has not been mentioned in any of these reviews is the license for this product. This software cannot be used for commercial use without permission from one of their "duly authorized representatives". I'm not sure, but I bet this is a costly proposition. So if you want this product for an amusing game, it's fine. If you want to use it for music that you plan to sell, even if you are including your own playing on it, avoid it. If you think that making loops of your own playing will let you off the hook, no, it won't. The license includes anything made with the software, so even if you want to sell your own music, PLAYED BY YOU, you have to talk to one of their representatives. If they give you permission to sell your OWN work, you still have to put their logo on it, which says, "Magix Creation". How nice...... 5 stars (The ultimate media creating software!!!) - Whether you are looking to create, mix or just edit this program has it all. I haven't seen anything out there that can beat music maker 2005. I have try to edit with other programs, but nothing has the options magix offers. Hands down ACID PRO will never touch magix. Audio, video, slideshows, you name it Magix has what you need. If you are familiar with the 2004 version, there's more with 2005. The vocoder and guitar are amazing. To change a voice with the vocal tuner is very simple. The drum n bass collection has a few more loops added. If you need to clear any part of a mix, between the master effects and the reverb from the mixer i can have a...

MP3 Maker 2005 Deluxe

1 stars (They know its bad. They'll just try to con you.) - I have an older version of MP3 Maker Gold. When I tried to resample something from 44100 to 22050, it cut the playback rate in half, i.e. it ran at half speed. I have other software that resamples it at the correct speed. I contacted technical support and they said cutting the playback rate was the correct thing to do. They continued to tell me that I shouldn't be using 22050, but should use 44100. They would never deal with the issue. This is like a contractor building a house, and part of the floor caves in. They then tell the inhabitants not to walk there and everything will be ok. Trashy product, trashy company. 1 stars (Very Buggy) - Ugh. Well, not to sound too negative, let me start with a few positives: 1. It's pretty fast at ripping CDs. 2. The audio effects during playback are kind of fun to play with. 3. As far as I know, the CD burning component works fine; I didn't test that out at all. 4. Um, the install went smoothly? But for me, they're vastly overshadowed by the negatives: 1. The quality of ripped mp3s is uneven--some tracks have enough defects to be completely unlistenable. 2. It doesn't offer many options for ripping CDs, compared to many freeware programs. 3. It simply refuses to rip some CDs (without even giving notification that it failed), which can be ripped with no problem by WMP, iTunes, or CDex. 4. It crashed when trying to rip some CDs, again which were no problem for other programs. 5. Its help program crashed immediately on startup. 6. It crashed when trying to import some songs into a playlist; you don't have to ask if other programs had any problems with the songs, do you? 7. The visualizer isn't resizeable; you get either tiny or fullscreen, and the fullscreen mode runs at about a frame every two seconds. 8. The music editor doesn't seem to allow mixing multiple tracks, beyond a simple crossfade. Boo! 9. The music editor's copy and paste commands don't work the ...

Movie Edit Pro 2004

4 stars (I like it... But it's not perfect.) - First let me say that before I purchased MEP (I have version 10), I did a lot of research on available editing software. I must have read hundreds of reviews, several for each available brand. I also downloaded trial versions and edited some of my movies with them for comparison. And after all of that, I ended up buying MEP. I chose MEP because of the price and the excellent feature list. However I must admit, I was somewhat apprehensive about my decision because of the reviews I'd read. One of the major research sources I used was PC Magazine's online reviews. PC Magazine has reviews for just about every video editing software package on the market and is a good place to find information on video editing software. The PC Magazine editor had given Move Edit Pro a mediocre rating of 3 out of 5. The magazine commended MEP on its range of features but complained about the user interface and support. However, the article also included MEP user's responses to the article and most of the users seemed to absolutely love the software. As I read more and more reviews, I began to see a pattern. Users who seemed to be looking for a simple tape to DVD transfer package were mostly dissatisfied with MEP and the users on the other end of the spectrum, those that wanted a powerful editing utility, love the program. So you end up with the old, "you either love it or hate it" adage about this software; there's not much room for anything in the middle. I've had the software for a week now and I have to say that I love it. Unlike some of the downer reviews, I've had no problems with the interface; on the other hand, everyone seems to agree that support sucks, I've looked at the support website and I have to concur. I think the interface could be a lot better too. If Magix had adopted a more Windows standard interface, I believe they would have fewer complaints but even so, the interface is not hard to use and I can't reall...

Photo Story on CD and DVD

3 stars (Needs maturing) - This is the only slide show creation program I could find that allows you to sync your slides to a soundtrack using a graphical interface. The program has some nice transitions but the movements are very crude and don't allow tweaking. Also, when doing a pan, it does only a small section of the image, so it's not very useful. Also crashes a lot, especially as you are completing the program. BUGGY as an ant farm. ...

Audio Cleaning Lab 10

1 stars (You'll need insecticide and a lot of patience) - I have never owned a piece of software as buggy as this thing. I am running it on an AMD 64 3500+ system with RAID and SATA drives, XP Pro. This thing does nothing but crash. I got it to record a record, but when I went to the audio cleaning section, it crashed every time I tried to use the Wizard. The interface is not very intuitive and the whole thing is cobbled up with really stupid looking audio equipment faceplates and dials. What a mess. I have yet to make a recording with it. Don't waste your money on this software. Want to buy my copy? I certainly can't use it. ...
