MAGIX Announces Music Maker 2005 Deluxe for DJs, Musicians and Creative Family Entertainment
Now Anyone Can Make Great Music
MAGIX, the worldwide leader in music
software(1) and maker of the professional audio and broadcasting solutions
Samplitude and Sequoia, announced today MAGIX Music Maker 2005 Deluxe, the
newest version of MAGIX's best-selling music creation software(2). MAGIX
Music Maker 2005 Deluxe enables anyone to fulfill their creative potential
by quickly making high-quality music and professional-looking music videos
with little or no musical knowledge.
MAGIX Music Maker 2005 Deluxe delivers fast, professional results with easy
handling while delivering the latest advancements in music technology. The
wide variety of functions and sounds offers unlimited opportunity to create
the best music in any style and for any occasion. Now anyone can create
great music with 96 stereo music tracks, video clips, MIDI file support,
text and images, effect templates, and thousands of new loops and samples
included in MAGIX Music Maker 2005 Deluxe. CD masters can then be burned
that sound as if they were created by a professional in a traditional music
studio.
