Yeah that's bannable, but my question is what are the rules for Magix Music Studio?

It's totally different, and is very professional. Not sure about the license though.

Protip: Anything from MTV Music Generator to Magix can produce good, and legal music; however, if while using the software if you are simply ordering pre-made loops into a song-type thing, then you are not producing legal, or good music.

I started with MTV Music Generator which I wouldn't suggest to my worst enemy :)

Regardless of this fact: they serve a purpose as a good introduction to music production, and teach you many of the basics of the user-interface without creating any bad habits, or even requiring any knowledge of composition! If you are interested in learning how to produce, I would certainly suggest Magix as a self-introduction to production, as this is how MTV Music Generator served me. Once you're really comfortable with the advanced features of Magix, jumping into something like FL won't be much more than a short step.

A couple of possible legitimate uses of Magix/MTV Music Generator/etc. would be to:
A.) Create your own patterns using the samples it comes with, I can't imagine that they wouldn't allow or expect this-- but you still might want to check the manual, because even MTV Music Generator required that you send Codemasters a copy of the song and ask for permission. (after this of course, you might even be able to add effects like Flanger, Reverb, Delay-- the issue with people using Magix is that they often don't really know how to use it, and it doesn't require you to really know how to use it to make music sounding stuff.)

B.) Import your own samples , order them into patterns, and then make a song. Magix would never have any way of finding out if you used your own samples or not, and you're not even putting any of their intellectual property, you're just putting samples in an order...

If you don't know music, but you still would like to produce, it's never too late to be in band for a year or take music lessons (playing is the only way to learn music!) BUT, if you really really want to learn how to produce, but don't have time right now to learn music, Magix is a big step in the right direction. Just get in sync with the advanced features of Magix and you'll be well on your way some producing some epic trax like mine.

If you've bought a license to use the loops, you can do whatever you want with them as long as you follow their terms of use. In most cases it is perfectly legal to combine several loops and call it your own. You're gonna get a low mark for creativity and originality, but as long as you've purchased a license to use the loops it's fine. People here tend to think that using loops is illegal and infringes on copyrights, but it doesn't. As long as you have a license to use the loops in a commercial production (which is usually the case when you purchase loops), you're in the clear. What would be the point of selling and producing loops if it was illegal to use them?

SAMPLING pre-existing copyrighted songs is illegal and could get you into trouble (without proper permission). I'm not familiar with every detail of the Newgrounds TOS, but if somewhere in there it says NO use of ANY loops under ANY circumstances I'd be very surprised.

I'm interested in the Magix TOS, the fact that they prevent you from uploading your music to Newgrounds is pretty bold. This seems to be an example of when they give you a license to use their software but not claim it as your own work/profit off of it (I'd have to read the whole TOS to figure out exactly what bindings are in place). If people would just read the TOS instead of clicking yes every time they see a block of text these forums would be much less cluttered!

yes but how many people actually sit down and READ those.

apparently fl studio has the same situation - with that big fiasco a while back.

And the point is - most people that use magix DON'T buy the license to use the loops - so as far as this site goes - it's just easier to ban anything made from that program..

I'm such an audio FAG! Actually, I'm THE audio fag!

ALSO! My sig isnt there just for show - click it! CLICK IT! NAOWWW!!!

Buhhhhh?

Magix Musix Maker 14 might not be the best music tool out there, but I don't understand why it's use is bannable? It's more or less a fully featured DAW.

I can understand earlier versions, due to their similarity to the eJay range, but Magix has changed quite significantly over the years...

It even has elastic audio!
