MAGIX releases MUSIC MAKER 2026
Europe's number one DAW for beginners offers more convenience and inspiration than ever before with a new loop browser and genre filter.
Following the successful launch of Video deluxe 2026, Berlin-based company MAGIX is set to release the latest version of its other top brand in June: MUSIC MAKER 2026 marks the 34th edition of the software manufacturer's best-known product. "The new MUSIC MAKER aims to do one thing above everything else: reignite creativity when producing with loops and samples – in an environment that makes getting started easier than ever and delivers great results in no time," says Johannes Ernst, head of the audio team at MAGIX. MUSIC MAKER 2026 comes with sophisticated features designed to significantly improve the creative workflow. With the newly developed loop browser, the program offers a consistently modern and intuitive user experience. The redesigned interface is clearly structured and allows quick access to the right sounds – without long search paths or nested menu structures. All areas of the software follow a uniform design, which makes operation more consistent and simplifies production

About MAGIX MUSIC MAKER
For three decades now, the product name of this popular music software has literally been its mission statement. Back in 1994, MAGIX launched MUSIC MAKER, a production software designed specifically for beginners from the same minds behind the professional DAW Samplitude. Unlike traditional production environments, MUSIC MAKER uses a straightforward, loop-based concept that quickly turns song ideas into professional-sounding results. At the same time, it offers all the features of a full-fledged audio sequencer. With over 3.3 million copies sold, MUSIC MAKER is Europe's most successful music program.
