Make your own cool tracks with MAGIX Music Maker 2013. Even beginners can get amazing results in no time at all. With the audio building-block principle, useful tutorial videos and endless options, you can easily create your own songs and share them with friends. With over 3000 loops, MAGIX Music Maker 2013 has everything necessary to make real hit singles just like the ones on the radio. The huge selection of loops and sounds are professionally produced by top musicians from around the world and include a wide variety of genres like Hip Hop, Rock Pop, Tech House, Chillout, Eurodance or Electric Jazz. New effects and instruments that are normally reserved for professional DAWs are all part of the deal and bring the sound to the level of a real studio production.

Simply combine loops and play around to produce cool new tracks. Give your song an edge by using the Vita Instruments to create your own melodies. Make your song even more unique with your own vocal recordings, awesome guitar riffs or your own keyboard melodies. With just one click your hit can make its world premiere on SoundCloud, YouTube or Facebook.

Adding some professional virtual instruments gives the track its own unique identity. Thanks to the complete band sounds available in the Vita 2 sample player, the authentic orchestra sounds in the String Ensemble and the powerful sounds offered by the Rock Drums, an amazing track is only a few clicks away. And for those who want to think "outside the box", it's easy to record singing, rapping or some real guitar. No matter how the program is used, one thing is always guaranteed: studio-quality results!

The next step to the perfect sound is the mix. The integrated mixer allows detailed mixing and a huge selection of effects with handy pre-sets are perfect for refining the sound. With a bit more experience the user can go beyond these pre-sets and make fine adjustments to the effects and other modules manually.

The final step in the Music Maker process is the release of the new hit on Facebook, YouTube and SoundCloud. It can also be burned to CD with just a few clicks. And for anyone who wants to take things to the next level, the song can easily be transferred from MAGIX Music Maker 2013 to Samplitude Music Studio 2013 for further editing and fine-tuning.

Auslogics Antivirus Comfortably Achieves Another VB100 Award From Virus Bulletin

Auslogics Antivirus achieves its second VB100 award in the last year demonstrating perfect detection rates and zero false positives in the summer 2012 tests by Virus Bulletin.

UK, September 24th 2012; Auslogics Antivirus v.15, security software by the Australian-based Auslogics Software Pty Ltd, has recently achieved its second VB100 award in the comparative tests run by Virus Bulletin. The testing was done on the Windows 7 operating system during the summer months and completed in August 2012.

According to Virus Bulletin, “…everything went very nicely indeed, with blazing fast scan times…, very light overheads… and a light impact on our set of tasks… Detection rates were really quite excellent, with consistently high scores throughout the Response sets, no issues at all in the WildList sets and no false positives either. Auslogics thus comfortably earns its second VB100 award.”

Virus Bulletin is an independent authority that is widely recognized in the industry for its unbiased tests and reviews of antivirus software. The VB100 award, first introduced in 1998, is given to antivirus solutions that are able to detect 100% of “in the wild” viruses during both on-access and on-demand scans, while producing absolutely no false positives when checking a set of files known to be clean. Virus Bulletin recommends looking at how consistent a software company’s product is in passing the tests and obtaining the VB100 award, which, according to them, is an indicator of how well the antivirus software is supported and kept up to date. With Auslogics receiving the perfect score of 100 and getting the VB100 award a second time in a row, the company proves that their antivirus solution deserves to be in the top spots on AV comparison charts.

Auslogics Antivirus v.15 includes all of the previous version’s features, such as real-time protection to stop threats before they can do damage, active virus control to defend against newly created viruses, vulnerability scan to discover your system’s potential security holes and recommend ways to fix them, game and laptop modes to limit the use of system resources when you are gaming or when your laptop is running on battery power, privacy control to protect your sensitive data, and other features. At the same time, it includes such innovative additions as the Auto Pilot mode, which makes the program completely silent on a user’s computer, the Rescue mode letting clean up tough infections when the operating system is unable to boot, and the Browser Sandbox mode that allows isolating the internet browser to prevent online threats from spreading to the hard drive. A complete list of program features can be found at www.auslogics.com/en/software/antivirus.

“We are extremely proud and honored to receive such a prestigious award for the second time in a row,” says Anna Lind, Auslogics PR representative. “It strengthens our commitment to ensuring the high quality of our software and gives our customers another reason to choose Auslogics products.”
