MAGIX Music Maker MX 18 provides professionals and amateurs the edge in combining sounds and loops to produce their next big hit. The software already came with an instant archive of more than 1,500 samplers from any musical genre and offers its users more choices from an online gallery of two thousand audio clips. The recordings were done in studios where professional musicians and producers have collaborated on various projects. Aside from pre-recorded loops, the Music Maker also has a set of virtual percussions and stringed instruments that produce realistic sounds that seem to come from an orchestra or a band playing on stage. It even has options for filters and effects applied to the sound of instruments and the samplers to make them reverberate a little or to distort them into resembling analog sounds. Users can upload and share their work on social media sites from inside the program.
