Product Description

Bring the entire, historic, grand La Madeleine, Paris cathedral and the Cavaillé-Coll organ into your studio! For the first time ever -- in any sampled pipe organ -- the original cathedral ambiance is included via release triggered samples. Combinations and pedals, all windchest activity, all interferences, and all bellow noises are captured with breathtaking accuracy. Well just hear the difference.In 1846, the organbuilder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (1811-1899) provided the Èglise de la Sainte-Madeleine in Paris, consecrated in 1842, with the organ that today enriches the monumental nave of this church both visually and tonally.Earlier attempts to digitally sample the original sound of a pipe or a pipe-family (a "stop") employed small samples which were artificially looped, often without their original attack phases, and the characteristic sound of the pipes was lost. The solution was to employ the patented EndlessWave technology (exclusively licensed to NemeSys by Conexant Systems, Inc.). Via EndlessWave, digital samples can be streamed from a mass storage device such as a hard disk without the usual latency access time restrictions of mass storage media. ... Read more

Elegant simplicity if you have a recent system
Requirements or rather reccomended systems are rather high but if you have a recommended system and the burner and reader are compatible this program is more than adequate for the beginner.
Although Nero is nice with all it's bells and whistles and control panels and options Mediaworks or just Pyro are miles ahead in terms of simplicity. My Mom has a copy as well as myself.

Does not recognize CD burner on my HP media center
My wife purchased this product for me for Christmas and I must say at first it looked extremely easy to use. However it would not recognize I had a DVD RW drive in my HP media center PC when every other application I have has no problem using it. For a CD burner it is pretty useless if it does not even recognise your drive as a burner. Then both my CD drive and DVD drive disappeared from my system (Not physically of course). The registry entries for them became corrupted. I had to do a complete rebuld of my system and it took me about 8 hours of time to get it back to a working state with my previously loaded software. I have deleted all traces of it and am taking it right back to the store. ... Read more

Version 8.2
I've got Version 8.2 and have had none of the problems mentioned in previous reviews. I've tried all the big names (itunes, napster, realjukebox, windows media player) and this is my software of choice.

Faster rip & burn than the others makes it #1 with me!!

Quirky: When it functions properly, it's decent.
The first MMJ version 7.5 functioned properly. MMJ suggested an upgrade to 8.0 with a fee ($19) and an upgrade key. After the upgrade, MMJ bombed: MMJ Server problems, screen freezes, hangs and plenty of reboots. Because I was able to burn 36 songs, I uninstalled MMJ (the initial downloaded version) and purchased the boxed version for an additional $30. I've downloaded more than 100 great classic songs (another $100) and frankly MMJ needs to modify their software. The boxed version MMJ, with ANOTHER upgrade to download, burned 4 cds and then crashed again. MMJ Tech support frankly wasn't helpful. Online message boards/forums state MMJ is prone to popups, registry corruption and spyware that interferes and/or corrupts MMJ. Jeez gents can't your programmers solve your software issues? MMJ 8.2 is a decent program when it functions. However, in its present form, it's a software crap shoot. I still use MMJ 8.2 plus but I run spyware/adware and registry correction software after 3 uses and each time we find spyware/adware and changes to the windows registry. Jeeez. MMJ fix the glitch; make more money. Satisfy customers.

Depends on one's expectations
Unlike most of the others who took the time to review this product, I have to say that I found it to be everything I hoped it would be. I was in the process of thinning out my cd collection and was looking for a program that would allow me to turn all of the songs my one hit wonder cd's into MP3's and this software delivered exactly that. I like the way it organizes the music and can honestly say that it has done everything I asked of it. I think the difference between myself and the other reviewers is that I have only a marginally effective grasp of the inner workings of my computer. My expectations were naturally lower, and I have to call myself a satisfied customer.

What kind of Music software is this ?
I bought the program about a week ago, and now know why one user described it(in a former review) "userunfriendly and Junk"
Not only caused it system-problems on my PC but it is also the most confusing and unreliable music program which i have ever worked with. I could only guess, why it got 5 Stars on a other review. But after reading the Review several times again and again, i realized, "who" probably wrote the 5 Star review.

MusicMatch Does Not Deliver
MusicMatch Jukebox Deluxe 8 did not deliver as promised. The enclosed software did not display properly; though, a download of EarthLink's co-branded MusicMatch software fixed the interface problem. The promised three month trial of MusicMatch MX Gold using the User ID and Password supplied on the CD envelope resulted in nothing: no trial period, no upgrade to CD quality sound from MusicMatch Radio and no access to MusicMatch MX ArtistMatch. I had been pleased with the free MusicMatch Jukebox software, even with its limitations; I am very unsatisfied with the buggy software and false promises of the purchased software.
UPDATE: Worked with MusicMatch customer service to try to correct my issues. Although they were very pleasant, they were not able to figure out how to offer the three month trial period to MusicMatch MX Gold. ... Read more

Great Stuff, Just Not Enough Of It
I must say that this program is pretty good. The samples are high quality and the program is easy to use. The only thing is I find myself making my own samples more than I use the ones that came with the program. If you want to hear something made by this program, check out mp3.com/Ryan_Jacob and play "Speed".

It can be a powerful tool for creating rhythmic textures, vocal effects, morphed synth sounds and more.PansIn normal effects, panning is pretty boring.

With Spectron you can grab regions of frequencies, pan them, modulate them, or envelope trigger them. ... ... Read more
