Hello, I have Magix music maker premium, am thinking about buying upgrading to music maker premium 2021, looking at the difference maybe am missing something!!!!! but my music maker premium seems like its better than the 2021 version, my premium version has more than 5.500 sounds and loops, a lead synth drums engine, loops designer remix loops intuitively, and the ability to add 96 tracks and the 2021 version is saying something about 8 min tracks I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS! IS THAT 8 TRACKS TO RECORD ON ONLY? OR 8 MINIT OF RECORDING TIME ONLY TO RECORD? and what does this mean do I have to buy more tracks if want to add tracks? in the 2021 software?   WHAT DOES THIS MEAN  Fee-based activation? DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR ACTIVATION?  FOR MP3 export with Windows Media Player 10 or higher Formats for the free version of Music Maker can be activated in the Store via the "More Tracks and Forma" pack.

@kyoung You can download Music Maker for free and enter your premium serial number. All premium features of your Music Maker Premium version (if it's not older than 10 years) should be unlocked in the new version except new features that were added in the new version. You can use your old loops in the new version.

New features can be unlocked for $10-$30 dollars in the in-app shop but it would be less expensive to get an upgrade to the current version.

A minimum of 8 tracks is available. You can add many more.The reason it says "Min. 8" is to distinguish it from the free version which has a maximum of 8 tracks.

@kyoung

In addition to @SP. comment - unlocking the program with your older version will not give you all the functionality you have in the older version.

MMM2021 is the first 64 bit version of the program and is a new purchase/upgrade to get all the functionality, upgraded Instruments.

You will not be able to use the old Instruments until you purchase and install the VST-Bridge function.

Note: it may be more economical to buy the Upgrade for Premium version - it could work out cheaper than buying the extra functionality, features, Soundpools and Instruments piecemeal.

If you do not let MMM 32021 replace the older version when installing, the old version will still be fully functional.
