Let’s hope that will lower their prices.

Crazy. Magix Music Maker was my first ‘daw’ experience back in 1995. Got it in the bargain bin for $20 (two weeks of my saved allowance at the time). Surprised they’re still around, even more surprised they just acquired ACID. Fun fact: Drum’n’Bass badass John Rolodex wrote some of his best stuff (imo) in Sony Vegas.

Started using acid from v1, i really liked how it time stretched and was one of my first Daws.
Became problematic for me and I don’t think it was as good when sony took it over.
And now renoise does what i need and more.
