RE: Mixing and mastering

Hi, You didn't say which version of MMM that you are using - basic or Premium, so I will assume 2015 Premium. There are less effects in the basic version. See the tutorial on Mixing for Samplitude Music Studio on this web page which is close

RE: Movie Edit Pro 2015 Plus AVCHD Disk

Hi Are you on the latest update for MEP 2015? It should be the one John CB stickied at the top of the forum. It is common for Magix to tweak export preset settings in patches and the latest 14.0.0.172 is no exception. If you are already on it

Weird. (But that's what my wife says about me, too.) It's all from the same MPH. The stuff in it is a mixture of JPGs - primarily from a Canon SX10, with a few from an IPhone, a few panoramas created using Canon's Photo Stictch, and a couple
