Music Maker Jam was developed to be a music generation application that allows users to create their own songs. Users can operate the software without any direct musical knowledge, so anyone can craft unique and amazing songs using this software. While the utility in the application is designed for those with little musical experience, experts might find the app simplified compared to the expensive professional music suites. Music Maker Jam lets users make songs in one of three preset genres, which include jazz, tech house, and dubstep.

When users open up a new style to create a song, they'll be greeted with an 8-channel mixer. Each channel contains a part of the overall song, whether it be an instrument track or synthesized sounds. Users can also take advantage of the included sequencer in order to control the progression of the song through different harmonies. The software even allows users to add sound effects to completed songs while they are playing.

There is no denying that Music Maker Jam is able to help users create songs as soon as they download and install the software, but there are some limitations in what the software can do. There aren't many sounds and instrument samples to work with, so users could easily get bored or run out of new mixes. Of course, the app is still quite a bit of fun, and it is a great way for novices to see if they have any interest in moving to more complicated song production. Users who have multitouch tablets can even use the application with Windows 8 through such a system and that added control opens up new utility for the user.
