Repeated Bugs and issues with Music Maker

Bradley-Oates wrote on 4/19/2021, 9:13 PM

I've had a lot issues with bugs in this program and wondering where I could go to get some answers to them.
The current project I'm working on the program crashes almost every two minutes and I have to restart it in order to be able to continue.
This has become nearly unworkable and multiple other projects I have tried have had similar conclusions where bugs have either locked me out of being able to finish a product and it is an ongoing problem.
If the program worked it would be great, is there any way to get this to be the case in my current situation.

@Bradley-Oates You are at the right place to get some answers. We just need to know what bugs you encountered.

If you have very complex projects and encounter problems with Music Maker it is a good idea to switch over to Samplitude Music Studio which runs much more stable and has much more features. I personally don't use Music Maker for anything more than just putting together some loops for which it works fine. More complex things like MIDI editing and automation are a pain to do in Music Maker or basically not possible.

Hi

We need more information - Music Maker full name and version, computer specification, more details on what you were doing at the time of the crash, and are there any error messages - see this topic for more details of what is required and please quote the full name and model numbers of the processor and any graphics card installed.

Also post a screen shot of the Program settings, Audio/Midi tab, and the pane that opens when you click the Advanced button on the same tab.

That is what I'm doing in Music Maker. I'm using MIDI tracks and it is crashing religiously.
what problems have you had.

As for what I was doing, there is no error messages, I'm working with in program MIDI devices and the program will freeze up and refuse to take any commands.
It happens after I press the pause button on some occassion.
As for computer specs and program listing that may take some time to find.
