Add single cymbal crash in Music Maker 27.0.3.34

Hi I'm new and have used the "Music Maker - Feel Good" sound pool to build a tune, but I want to add a single cymbal crash to the end and can't figure out how. I have the Jazz and Rock drum kits as instruments. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Arabic Adventures 1 & Song Maker Problem

Why does Arabic Adventures 1 not work properly with Song Maker? I have all the proper updates installed, but it is only this one soundpool that gives me trouble. It will only generate a drum or a percussion track using Song Maker, nothing else.

RE: Does anyone feel like it's cheating?

Of course it's cheating but it's fine for a bit of fun. As mentioned use the midi editor to create drum tracks or to edit drum tracks made by real time recording. Everyone who makes drum tracks in real time using a midi controller would make a short

Does anyone feel like it's cheating?

I'm referring to using premade loops from soundpools. I'm trying to keep away from them as I can't help feeling it's cheating. But I have to admit, I struggle making drum tracks manually as any slight timing errors are magnified by accumulative

Unfortunately no replies. Could someone try this in SF AS 13? It seems to me the Bitmachine, the Delay and the Filter plugin (of the Magix Plugins) are locked to 120 BPM. But this might just happen on my Windows 7 32 bit computer. I'll also try on

Hi Neil, In order to have a track pick up what you are playing, you need to turn on the monitor (speaker) for that track. You probably have the speakers turned on for only 1 of the tracks. Turn it on for track 2. If you want to record MIDI to more
