The VST support allows different effects and instruments to be added. Those into more modern music than me can use Vandal SE to create rock riffs. You can make your own backing with the Beat Box 2 and Drum Engine. Once installed you can download Power Guitar (as with the package above).Ī feature many may like is ‘No Wrong Notes’ which allows you to correct automatically any out of place notes. To install you need a DVD Drive (the box does state a download is possible if you do not have a DVD drive but you need 7.5GB of hard disc space so it’s not a download I would enjoy doing. However the specifcations probably require Windows 7 or 8 as you need a 2GHz processor and at least 1GB or RAM (2GB recommended). Like the package above it is stated to work on Windows XP and indeed I still have an earlier version running on such a PC. It includes a version of Music Studio free of charge which has a price attached to it of £49.99. If the package above is slightly beyond you then this may suit you better. The Samplitude Music Studio 2014 is available from the link below for £39.28 with free delivery.Ĭlick image to enlarge Magix Music Maker 2014 For those you need or want it the final touches can be fully automated. Those you know a little will appreciate the built in DN-e1 synthersizer. While this can be used by top end specialists it also works for mere mortals and if you have a 64 bit processor with multi cores then it really comes into its own.įor those with a Touch PC then being able to adjust by touch the sounds and levels makes it more like a professional music studio but in your lounge or bedroom. The synthesized instruments are first rate in the box of the 2014 version are Vintage Organ, Pop Brass and Electric Piano and once installed you can download Power Guitar. However even the humble vocalist accompanying themselves can be helped by this software and for those whose pitch is less than perfect the software can even manipulate this.

Once you have input your music it allows you to edit and arrange even bring in up to 128 tracks with the right features.
