Music Maker won't work

Joey-C wrote on 4/26/2024, 7:09 PM

I have Music Maker 2023 Premium. In any project, when I use the in-app piano roll, with no external midi objects or anything, it will not make a sound when I press the key. The record button works with the piano roll, it just dosen't make any sounds untill I press the playback button. I updated the app with the new patch, fixed a few of my bugs I planned to report here, but not the piano roll one.

@Joey-C Navigate to File > Settings > Program Settings > Audio/MIDI. Here you must select an ASIO driver, for example the Music Maker ASIO driver, otherwise you'll not get any real-time sound.

Ok, I did that, but i was not able to do the "Music Maker ASIO driver". It just keeps going back to "none". I am able to enable the "2016 low latency" and the "ASIO4ALL V2", but not the "Music Maker ASIO driver". It will still not play sound.

@Joey-C

Do neither the "2016 Low Latency" nor "ASIO4All" allow you to hear the sound?

yes, neither of them work. I was just able to enable "Music Maker ASIO driver" but I still can't hear the piano roll in real-time, and when I press play, It's just static.

okay, I reset project settings and stuff, didn't work. Set the ASIO drivers, now there is static on my laptop when I play audio even when Music Maker is closed, lol. I'm gonna reboot my computer and hope that fixes it.

UPDATE: Reboot fixed this issue

@Joey-C Static problems can be caused by incompatibility of the Magix Low Latency driver and your hardware. Since Magix Low Latency is based on ASIO4ALL, it's possible that ASIO4ALL will also cause these problems. Then uninstalling Magix Low Latency will help.

What is your computer hardware?

Alternatively you can try to install the free demo version of FL Studio which will also install the FL Studio ASIO driver. This driver might have better compatibility with your hardware.

Hmmm, the thing is, I've been using Magix Music Maker for at least a year now and have never had these problems. It just happened one day maybe a week ago. I actually already have FL Studio installed, and I'm not a big fan. I like Magix alot better. I will check out the link you sent.

Okay, uninstalled the low latency. No more static happening 👍. But, still won't play music on the piano-roll. Is there a chance that I may have muted the piano roll or something? Is that even possible? Another point of intrest, I can't click the keys on the synthizers themselves. My PC hardware is as follows:
