    The music aspect of the software receives mixed reviews, with many users praising its ease of use and suitability for beginners looking to experiment with music creation. However, several complaints highlight limitations due to locked features behind paywalls, crashes during use, and a lack of original sound creation capabilities, leading some to recommend more advanced software for serious music production. Overall, while it can be a fun tool for casual users, those seeking a comprehensive music-making experience may find it lacking.

    • “This is one of the most amazing pieces of software for anyone who is new to making music.”
    • “It has helped me to create copyright-free music for my YouTube videos and streams.”
    • “It's a fun way to work on songs and practice the mixing of music for future experiences.”
    • “This always crashes when I'm in mid-song development and I have a very beefy PC.”
    • “In conclusion, I think you shouldn't invest your money into Music Maker; it is very limited, and it's designed to be a money sink rather than a full-featured program.”
    • “The loops in Music Maker are ridiculously expensive.”
  • stability6 mentions

    The game is frequently described as buggy, with users experiencing various stability issues that can hinder gameplay. While some players managed to troubleshoot problems, the overall impression is that the stability is lacking, leading to frustration.

    • “Although it tends to be really buggy, I'm not surprised for something that can be free to download.”
    • “Start/stop marker system occasionally buggy, usually annoying.”
    • “Eventually, with some troubleshooting online (since the built-in troubleshooting is awful), I figured out what was wrong.”
  • humor2 mentions

    The humor in this software is perceived as unintentional and stems from its poor quality, leading to a sense of hilarity; however, many reviewers express concern over its potential to mislead or exploit unsuspecting users, particularly children.

  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization model is widely criticized as a cash grab, particularly discouraging hobbyists from engaging in music mixing unless they opt for pre-recorded clips or loops. Users feel that the program prioritizes profit over creative freedom.

    • “From what I saw, this is just a cash grab. It's only not one if you want to use pre-recorded clips of items or if you want to use a loop.”
    • “A huge cash grab program that discourages hobbyists from mixing music.”
  • graphics2 mentions

    The graphics performance is noted to be compatible with a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, suggesting that the game is optimized for mid-range hardware, providing decent visuals without demanding the latest technology.

  • gameplay2 mentions

    The gameplay is described as straightforward and unremarkable, lacking any standout features or innovations.

  • story2 mentions

    • “When they band together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a different story to the world, for we shall own all the media.”
  • optimization1 mentions

    The game is praised for its excellent optimization, as it can run smoothly on older hardware, such as a school computer from 2007, indicating strong performance across a range of systems.

    • “The game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate, even on high-end systems.”
    • “Optimization seems to be an afterthought, leading to frequent crashes and long loading times.”
    • “Despite the low system requirements, the game still suffers from significant lag and stuttering.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players indicate that grinding in the game can be quite demanding, often requiring significant time investment or multiple attempts to progress effectively.

    • “The grind is satisfying and offers a real sense of progression.”
