The offer now "ends in 8 days" (33400+ sold).

The Movie Studio being offered is the basic version and is not a good deal - I would advise against using it as it has been stripped of too many essential editing tools - Platinum is fine. Getting Vegas Pro Edit 18 is a good deal, along with the other stuff.

I'm surprised more Vegas users are not using Music Maker as it's a great tool for quickly making music for intros/outros, segues and transitions using Soundpool loops. And, if you have any musical ability at all, use VST instruments to create the above, including some sound effects.

Similar with the VEGAS Movie Studio basic versions, never really recommended here.

@john-brown the only bargain for VMS users is the VP18 not any other thing stuffed there

I got music maker when I bought VMS16P way back, installed and removed after an hour. It needs a lot of media resources and to buy more and more sounds. It may be good for musicians.

Now is the perfect time for VMS users to get Vegas for a great price. As mentioned above, at least for me, the rest of the software is of no use. Also, Mercalli won't work with any of the software listed. I have no idea who that is for unless you have MS Plus or higher and/or VPX.

Hi,

I got music maker when I bought VMS16P way back, installed and removed after an hour. It needs a lot of media resources and to buy more and more sounds. It may be good for musicians.

Creating songs or short musical pieces in Music Maker using Soundpool loops is quite simple. Not much musical ability required. Along with Music Maker Premium, which includes 5 Soundpools, credits for 3 Soundpools Complete Bundles, and 1 Soundpool Collection, in the Humble Bundle, are vouchers that can be used to purchase even more Soundpools, so you are off to a great start. Yes, you can always purchase more Soundpools (only when on sale) but you select what you want and need.

Here is a tutorial that I did recently on getting and using Soundpools:

There is also Song Maker AI that comes with it that automates the creation of songs using Soundpools. Again, pretty much no musical ability required. Select the Genre, Soundpool(s), Instruments (from the list), Song parts (from the list) and create. Don't like it, press on Create again. Export to wave.

Since you paid for all of this, it would be to your benefit to learn how to use it.

Please, that is your opinion with which I disagree. Because you may not think that Music Maker is useful, others may. When you diss something like this, you are implying that because you personally don't have a use for it, it can't be any good. This influences others negatively and that is wrong. There are a couple of million Music Maker users out there who probably like Music Maker and find it useful.

I realize that I dissed Magix Movie Studio basic, but I did not diss it from ignorance or because I don't know how to use it - I most certainly do know how to use it. I dissed it because, from my experience with Magix nle's and replying to user queries on the forum, most users would probably be quickly disappointed, especially after looking at the Magix site and seeing what Platinum does; on the other hand, some may like it and not need much in the way of tools.

I really can't understand why Movie Studio basic is included in a bundle with Vegas Pro Edit; same with Mercalli v5 (except that it's a cheap way for MMS Platinum users to get it).

removed after an hour

Personally I consider you need more than an hour to seriously try a progamme like Music Maker. A few years ago I had both Acid and Magix Music Maker installed. Music Maker was only the free version. But both programmes were fascinating to play with and create "music". But I'm not musically minded and had no real use for my "productions". The programmes eventually got removed when I had a pc cleanup. I certainly don't consider Music Maker a waste of time.

@EricLNZ Magix Movie Maker? 😗

Thanks @vkmast - now corrected in three places. Just confirms I'm not musical, I've movies on my mind not music!

@john-brown, You are correct, all what I write is my own personal opinion, as this is a VMS sub section of the VP forum, my call is to alert VMS users regarding their dying Video Editing software.

I guess in the Music Maker forum your call would address other HB benefits.

dying Video Editing software

My VMS17 Platinum isn't dying. It is performing well.

Overlooked in this and other threads is Sound Forge Audio Studio 16 that comes with the Humble Bundle. SFAS16 comes with Vegas Pro and Post, but not with Vegas Pro Edit, so that is another plus.

@FayFen

In the Music Maker forum, users were told about the Music Maker package and vouchers and the other software, including Vegas.

its a SCAM I bought it but can´t download it, they did the same to the argentinians on steam they sold the program for cheap, then they repented and blocked acces to the program and processed refunds and there are not problems with my computer, I just installed plug in alliance's vsti's and downloaded ableton 11 update

@Ceslic there are customers reporting that they bought, downloaded and installed software from this HB bundle. So your accusation of a SCAM is most likely false. Have you tried to download using another browser? (Chrome may not download without a workaround, search the forum. Btw, HB is not Steam.)
