MIDI Studio CD?

What is the copyright date on that?

I have an older M-Audio Oxygen 8 USB keyboard, great for traveling and notation. I use the MAGIX Samplitude which is the professional version of the Music Studio, but...

I am not sure if what you have is current, I have used MAGIX Music Studio products since 1997. and I have never seen a MIDI Studio release before.

The copyright date should give me a clue, this would also be a clue if it will work in Windows 64 bit systems as in Vista 64 or Windows 7. If it is to old, it might not even be Windows 32 bit compatible.

MAGIX MIDI STUDIO v1.113
CD-ROM for Windows 95/98/2000/XP

 

I'm looking at E-Bay. A friend (fellow musician) gave me the keyboard, so I want to put it to use...but I have no midi software...

Ah, well unless you have those Operation Systems listed I wouldnt do that.

You can use the Music Studio 14 by MAGIX, if you have Windows Vista (32 bit) see if you can find that... its a few years old.

If you have Windows 7, you need the newer software since WIndows 7 is 64bit.

But there is more to it that just the OS, you also need to make sure you have a output source, such as a real sound card... otherwise you will be using a wave table, which is very generic sounding.

Try downloading the trial to the MAGIX software first and make sure it works, then you will know if its worth the purchase.

I do have XP. I'm a guitarist. I don't care about the sound quality of the midi, it's for my 3 year old daughter to learn a bit o' music. Thing is, I'll just plug it in and hope it works. This is my research before I do anything really futile...
