Questions & Answers

Dear all, To tell you guys the truth, nothing is wrong with the software, it’s a great application. I have been using the FL Studio since its birth, but comparing this application with FL Studio, it is much easier to learn and more or less it gives you the same result with less effort. To make my lecture short, don’t get disappointed, please follow my instruction and you guys will have a happy ending. All soundpool files are located in C:\Program Files\ MAGIX\MusicMaker16Premium_Download_Version\Basic_16 Now, open The MAGIX Music Maker 16 application: Click Add Styles... And a window will appear which will say select a directory which contains styles. Within that window, navigate in the look in selection. C:\Program Files\MAGIX\ MusicMaker16Premium_Download_Version\ Basic_16 Now click the OK button at the lower right side of the window and you will see add styles window is in progress. Close the application and reopen it. That’s it folks a happy ending, and don’t forget to pass your new found knowledge to someone else. Thanks

I'm in the same boat as many of the other posters. I purchased Magic Maker 15, as well as Sound Essentials vol. 6, and both worked. In the past MM 15 would get stuck at the media pool loading phase and I would have to manually shut it down through Task Manager. Upon re-starting it the program would work again (most of the time).

No longer sadly. I don't know if it has to do with a recent Microsof update to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, but the damn thing won't load at all now. It was working 2-3 days ago. I'm getting a bit fed-up with Magix's product to be frank and I am not impressed with the programming. It's a wonderful system to mix music with but the stability is subpar and I will not be buying anymore Magix products if this is what I have to look forward to.

Yep! I just spent the last week downloading Magix 16 with content. (2 Gyg)
And I have the same problem. Content files don't integrate with the program?
$105?.....The South African Rand is 8 Rands to 1$......Yep! almost R900.
That promotes an issue of dissapointment.
I am busy doing an uninstalation.
Thanx for the advice.

Thank you magixrocks99percentoftheti
I will give that a try. Sorry just getting in to respond but had some Videos to get out, been a real struggle working with Magix, I LOVE writing Music on it, but now I get static on the MP3 export.

Hello, I am having the same problem. The first installation was successful, but I had duplicate programs and soundpools but I upgraded. Long story short I uninstalled MM15 and reinstalled it. After all that time MM15 had problems locating the sound pools.

Here's what I did. Go to Start > Search > Type in Magix > then search "EVERYWHERE." Delete anything Magix related. Even any save files. If you want to keep your save files then transfer them to another computer.

I would restart the computer. That being said. Turn off all antivirus and firewall. Now after that download MM15 from scratch and install it.

I DID NOT CLICK RUN. I SAVED THE FILE THEN RUN IT. WHICH IS WHY I ASKED YOU TO TURN OFF VIRUS SCAN AND FIREWALL.

If you have a CD then go ahead and install it. At this point my soundpool was clear, which was a sight I never thought I'd see. It was amazing. Now activate your product. After it restarts itself then click on the link to obtain your soundpool content packets. After you see all four packets available for download then you can go ahead and shut down MAGIX. I downloaded all four packets at once, yet again I saved them to disk rather then running it. Note: don't move any of the files after you save them. It may cause problems. I mean like don't ever move them. lol I wouldn't risk it.

After they are downloaded install them one by one. Do not open MAGIX at all during any of the installations.

If you have problems obtaining the packets then keep trying. MAGIXs' site has:

[abnormal, celestial, concealed, dark, fabulous, fairy, ghostly, heavenly, hidden, impenetrable, invisible, legendary, metaphysical, miraculous, mystic, mythical, mythological, numinous, obscure, occult, paranormal, phantom, phenomenal, preternatural, psychic, rare, secret, spectral, superhuman, superior, supermundane, superordinary, supranatural, transcendental, uncanny, uncomprehensible, unearthly, unfathomable, unintelligible, unknowable, unknown, unnatural, unrevealed, unusual]

problems. That's right. All of the above.

Now after all that it worked! I had one copy of MM15 on my computer AND I had one copy of soundpools in MM15! Put the gun away! Sweet beautiful sound coming from my speakers! IT WORKS!

If you have any questions feel free to send a message my way.

Horriably frustrated! I have uninstalled MM15 then Re-Installed it, and now I'm confused. I reinstalled it. Here's my question. ON THE RE-INSTALL should I not include the Music and install the Music seperately. Because I have duplications now, some music works, some do not. AND I also have the Soundpool DVD Collection 16 to contend with. If I Install it, it comes up with a seperate pannel and all, what's up with this? I really want to get to work here. I Love when I can get a song done, but really this is difficult.

To elaborate on one of the other posts, here is what worked for me to get the soundspools working.   I deleted MMM 15 and reinstalled it.  The program opened up and I registered it and then shut it down.   I then installed all the 4 soundspools in order and restarted the program and the spools were there.  Hope this helps somepoeple because I played with it for a long time with no luck.

magix music maker team are there any other options i am not getting anywhere. your step by step procedure doesnt work either.

Hello,

here you find a general description how to download and install the sounds into MAGIX Music Maker.

In order to be able to download synthesizers and sound packs, the following steps will have to be completed once.


Proceed as follows:

- 1. To be able to use Soundpools during the test phase, please download part of the content for free. Click the following path in the program to do so: "Help" -> "Update program / upgrade function" -> "Download free synthesizers and soundpackets..."

- 2. Download the content to your PC (if multiple content packs are offered, then it is recommended that all content packs are integrated into  MAGIX Music Maker.)

- 3. After downloading is completed, navigate on your PC to the downloaded file and open it by double clicking. The sound pack will now be installed.

- 4. Open MAGIX Music Maker and click the button "Add styles" in the Soundpool (this button is not visible in Easy mode).

- 5. Navigate to the MAGIX Music Maker program directory. For normal program installations this will be "C -> Programs -> MAGIX -> Music Maker". Select the "Basics" folder and confirm with OK.

- 6. Restart the program. All of the sounds will now be imported and available immediately after program start.


After activating or purchasing the program, the remaining content will be able to be downloaded for free.
