    That seems like remarkably robust software for something pitched towards teens in 2003. It's like there's enough structure for someone that is just getting started but also enough flexibility that an artist like yourself can legitimately make a song and video. And like you said the limitations help combat the creative paralysis that comes from th paradox of choice. Loving the "using retro creative tools in the modern world" content!

    Cakewalk was the first DAW I used to record my band's music, but not long after I started using Magix music maker and even though it was a later version than this, a lot of the effects in the "FX rack" looked and worked the same. This video really took me back.
    From what I remember, Magix was pretty affordable too. At least compared to other recording software out there. I never used the video editing stuff in Magix and after watching your video, I kinda wish I would've messed with it. Thanks for making this video! Also, your song ended up kind of being a banger!

    I have Magix Music Maker for PlayStation 2, which my mom bought for me back in 2003 when I was 12. I never did own any of the PC versions. I can tell some of the audio and video samples from Magix Music & Video Maker 6.0 are also in the PS2 version. I totally remember the "I am evil! I am inside of you!" and the "I know why" vocal samples, as well as that video clip of the guy in the red shirt dancing. Magix Music Maker and MTV Music Generator were fun to play around with as a kid.
    I don't know if the PC versions of Music Maker have this, but the PS2 version has some pre-made songs with videos that you can listen to/watch. There's one song I really like that has a Latin-American/dance kind of feel with a Spanish female vocal harmony, and I remember creating an extended version of it because I thought the original track was too short.
    An updated version for PS2 called Music Maker Deluxe Edition includes the ability to record your own vocals with a SingStar microphone, but I never owned either of those.

    Honestly, that was pretty legit. Hits all the vibes and was a perfect bulls-eye!

    I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel, sooooo many memories came back rushing through my head!
    I remember using Nero Wave Editor to record vocals, Cool Edit when it was still owned by Syntrillium, and Pinnacle Studio for video, with Sony Acid for samples and loops... I still have the first demoes I recorded back in 2005, I'm literally tearing up 🥹🥹🥹

    While I was using Cakewalk and Logic (at my friend's house) to record stuff during this time period, I dearly wish I knew about stuff like this - the one-stop-shop to creating music and video is just awesome. Very nice jorb!
