Adjusting pitch of instruments
I tried using the WASAPI driver but it will not allow me to choose any card except the onboard Realtek. The Soundblaster looks like an available option but clicking on it does not select it To use the Realtek requires delving deeper into my system settings than I have time to do right now. I'll finagle with it this evening when I have more time.

Adjusting pitch of instruments
Thanks to both of you. Sorry I haven't been able to get back to this Believe it or not I've been having trouble with another Magix app, Movie Edit Pro Premium which has kept me busy for the last couple of days. Have been trying to get it to update to v 18.0.0.205 and it just wasn't cooperating. Finally got it done this evening so I'll get back to MMM tomorrow. I'll post back after I try your solutions. Thanks again!

Adjusting pitch of instruments
Thanks! I'll try that and post back. For some reason I can't get any ASIO driver to work except for the Soundblaster ASIO 1+2 for my sound card. It's a Soundblaster X-Fi Pro 5 1 HD USB card I have to admit, I'm still kinda new at the whole ASIO and MIDI game. Using either the Magix or the ASIO4ALL I can't get any output. I can see movement on the level meter on MM but nothing from my speakers I finagled with the settings under Audio/MIDI but had no luck.

Where to find Demo songs in .mmm format
Jeff, I'm using v 25.1.2.78, same as you. I'll look through my files again but I've only been able to find a folder named "25" which contains the _Demos directory. I copied all the demo files I have accumulated to that folder. I have about 10 files in all.

No sound from MIDI keyboard
Absolutely! I went one step farther, though. After I played around with the 49es last night, I decided I wasn't happy with the action on the keys. They felt almost spongy. Plus I had latency with hair on it even though it was set at 0. So this morning, I boxed it up and headed back to Guitar Center. I fiddled around with the keys on some other controllers I didn't look at yesterday because I was too busy being cheap. I stumbled upon the Oxygen 49 MKIV for about $70 more but I really like the action even though it's got more functions than I'll probably ever be able to learn. So I returned the 49es, paid the difference, and got the Oxygen. Same scenario. Got home, unboxed it, plugged it in and was playing in no time. Man the key action is light as a feather. Plus, the latency is gone! Talk about a win/win! Thanks again!!!

How to save edited video clip to media pool
Once again, THANKS!!! to all of you. Gosh this is a great community!! I hope one day I'll be able to help others as much as y'all have helped me! After I posted this, I stumbled across the "Save as takes" option that John suggested and that took care of the problem. After I'd edited about 70 clips I got interrupted and never got to come back to tell you. I'll certainly look into the other methods as well. For now, I'm trying to take care of all the editing so it will be done when I import all the material into the project. Thanks so very much again!!

No sound from MIDI keyboard
Halle-frickin-lujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My problem is finally solved!!!! All it took was a trip to Guitar Center, a long talk with Shawn (the resident MIDI guru), and ultimately the purchase of a brand new M Audio Keystation 49es for $99. Got home, halfway dreading that I was going to be in the exact same situation I've been in, unpacked the board, read through the brief manual, setup the 49es on my keyboard stand, plugged in the USB cable, powered it on, opened MMM which already had a Grand Piano loaded, banged around on a few keys, and I heard SOUND!!!!!!! The whole problem was that my 61es is just not compatible with Windows 10. My wife bought it for me used for my 50th birthday (back in 2011) when I was still using Win7. Same story with the MidiSport Uno. So both are probably at least 10 years old and, while they might still be useful for someone with a more advanced setup than I have, they just won't work and play (literally) with 10. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Of course, I'm not out of the woods just yet. I still have a lot to learn about incorporating the MIDI tracks with tracks made with soundpools. For example, how can I get more volume out of the MIDI track? But, for now, I really, really want to sincerely thank all of you for all your patience, assistance, and suggestions. Especially your patience.

No sound from MIDI keyboard
I finagled around with this last night until I was ready to take a large hammer to the Keystation. The last time it worked for me was with Reaper circa 2011-2012. I had some (very) marginal success with Magix during the same time period. The Keystation also worked with Reason 5. I'm really starting to believe "you can't get there from here", as far as this keyboard is concerned. . Maybe it's just time I invest in a newer model keyboard/controller. I'm going to take a ride to Guitar Center today to see what I can see and maybe find a solution.

No sound from MIDI keyboard
Jeff, I'm pretty certain I've tried every combination within settings. My MIDI keyboard does not have audio I/O. Only MIDI Out and USB Direct. What I am trying to do is use the MIDI controller to play instruments within MMM and hear it through the speakers. AFAICT, there are no MIDI settings for the X-Fi. The keyboard is old enough for Windows 10 to have built-in drivers for it. M Audio stopped supporting it years back. When I first plugged it in via USB, Windows picked it right up. It showed up in Device Manager and in MMM settings under Input Device. Then, for some unknown reason, Windows decided it didn't recognize it anymore. John, I get sound from the onscreen keyboard with no problems. I just can't get the Keystation to work. I'm aware that my Keystation is a controller only. I have not even been able to get any sounds with VST. My version # is 25.1.1.67

emmrecs, sorry. I posted the wrong screenshot...... Hi . . . . The Keystation also has a direct USB connection. It installed successfully using that and it shows up in device manager but still no sound. . . . . Check the following settings: Using ASIO output in MMM for reduced latencyIn the Creative Console for the X-Fi, check that the Audio Creation mode is selectedThe Creative X-Fi external sound card is selected as the audio out device - blue arrow in image below, and the correct ASIO or WASAPI driver is selected in the section indicated by the red arrow. If you still get no sound try the Direct sound option. HTH John EB Hi John, This is the only console I can find for my sound card. And my Audio/Midi screen, compared to yours, looks much differently. Thanks to you both!

Demo songs and collections
Holy Moley! Thanks for the ton of responses! I'm pretty sure I've got a handle on the demo songs location now but still no-joy on the collections. Under "Store", at the bottom of whichever category (instruments, soundpools, collections), there was a yellow graphic showing however many remaining credits I had. Now I have only one credit remaining and it's over "Collections". I've been unable to use it for any of the soundpools available under that category or any other. I'd I select a soundpool and click "Purchase" it takes me to the transaction screen which shows the price instead on $0.00 as it did with all the others. Then I saw something about collections on Catooh late last night so I'm wondering if that's the key to the puzzle. I'm going to try to nose around there to see what I can find. Thanks again for the help!

Cannot remember how to permanently import soundpools
Being as I've only played around with MMM for the last 5 or 6 years and I'm now presented with a paying project for which to actually produce something, I've decided to start with a clean slate, so to speak. I developed and maintain the web site for the municipality where we live. I also am the official photographer for every event. I've been using Photobucket.com to store all our pics and to embed slideshows on our site. Photobucket has become impossible to deal with and, while thinking about a decent alternative, Movie Edit Pro came to mind. I'd only ever used it, sadly, for the memoriam videos for all my family members. Now I'm the last one. But I gave it a shot mixing images and video and found it to be so much easier than any photo hosting site. My only problem is music because of copyright issues. Every single one of my videos was flagged. Back to the clean slate statement, I got an upgrade offer on MMM 2018 Premium. Since the municipality sprung for the latest version of MEP, I figured I'd buy Music Maker Premium. All the bonus soundpools, collections, and instruments made it well worth even the low upgrade price. Now, I'm installing the bonus materials while moving all my existing sound pool collections (9 thru 19 plus others I picked up along the way) to one 2 TB HDD. Then I just have to get my MIDI keyboard configured and maybe I can start to get all my original music out of my head and in .mp3 format. I have another question about all the Vita instruments I have from previous versions and how to get them into the new app. If I can't figure out how to do it I'll post a new thread. Thanks again for the help!

Cannot remember how to permanently import soundpools
Thanks! I'll try those so I can be prepared for future reference. I'm kind of in the same boat as I have a half dozen versions of music maker on my computer although 2013 is the only one currently installed. I just built my new machine about 6 months ago and am still trying to find stuff. So to make matters worse, I just stumbled across another 70+ GB of soundpools in yet another directory. So I think before I do too much else, I need to centralize everything to see if I have duplicates, etc., then go from there.

Thanks again!! I tend to forget about the non-destructive editor quality....... I'll get this done, exported & burned first thing tomorrow. It'ssuch a load off my mind now that the worst part is over. Hmmm, that sentiment is pretty universal, at least given the current situation. Thanks one more time!!

Thankfully, once I was able to get over the hump of inserting a title/panel/whatever you want to call it, the rest was fairly intuitive. Again, I'm so grateful for all your help. The end result came out pretty good despite some fixable glitches & one that, again, has me cowed. His widow & 3 kids really like what I did. BTW, I'm using v 11.0.4.4.4 (UDC2) from 2012. If it's worth it, I might upgrade to 2015 Pro Plus the next time there's a deal. The snafu that I'm stumped on is, for some inexplicable reason, when I added the text object on top of the MXV object, the process split the soundtrack at that point. Since the insertion, I have moved the text object back a bit so the end title first fades in over the last pic in the slideshow then remains on top of the MXV object. Is there some way to rejoin the audio track or is it forever split because of the insertion of the video files, or two different object types? Thanks, & I promise, this will be my last question on this subject. (For now, at least) Jack

Yeah, that's what I figured. The text objects were just too not what I was looking for. I chose "Stars Sky". So just copy & paste the frame? I'll give that a shot. Just to make sure I'm not completely losing my mind, playing the slideshow within the program is simply a preview, right? I'm getting a lot of hiccups and stutters that should go away when I export the file? One other thing I noticed. The slideshow ends at 13:00 minutes but there's an extra few seconds after that I have no access to. Upon exporting/burning, will that be removed? Thanks so very much again!

My condolences on your loss. Assuming that you have previously downloaded and installed all of the Free Addons (see under the Help tab), then go to Effects, Design elements, and look in Test images or Backgrounds for a suitable image to put behind your text. A text object has to be on another object, either an image or a video. Drag the image to the end of track 1 and extend it to match the end of the music. Select this object and create your text. Drag to text to match close to the length. I use scrolling text in cases like this. You can also overlay an image (PIP) or two at one side and move the text to scroll at the other side. In that case, you wouldn't need the background image. Thanks so much!! OK, one final (I hope) question. I settled on a background object, a ,mxv object, to be specific. Everything's great except one thing. Try though I might, I cannot adjust the time on it to anything other than its default 15 seconds. Can those backgrounds not be adjusted?

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Come back if we can help further. My sincere thanks. I've gotten a reprieve of sorts, as bad as that sounds. I have an extra day to get this done. I've gotten the times fairly close between the photos & the soundtrack- ~12 minutes & 13 minutes respectively. What I want to do now before I add the soundtrack is to create an end title frame to appear for those remaining 30 or so seconds. So far I'm not having any luck in doing that. I've tried going to the "Title" tab, selecting "Standard" then dragging the "Default" title to the end of the last photo. That winds up with the title on top of every frame in the slideshow. I tried putting it on a separate track and it winds up with the title on top of every photo frame in the slideshow. The manual, in true Xara/Magix fashion is blissfully vague, contributing not even one useful tidbit of information to help me figure it out. As usual, for some reason, the way I think of finding a topic in the index is nothing even close to the way the writers of the manual choose to create said index. Just to prove to myself that MEP MX is easier than PowerPoint, I tried creating this in that app & while the overall creation in that app is less irritating, attempting achieve effects like Pan or Zoom in PP make me want to remove the two appendages that are unique to the male of most species using, say, an ice cream scoop. So I am stuck in between two apps. Each does certain things much more easily than the other, yet both deny me the small satisfaction of generating a finished product that is anything more than a dull, amateurish pictorial review of the 58 years of my brother's too short life that any first grader could produce in their sleep. Can you please tell me how to accomplish what, by all accounts, should be such a simple, brainless task: Insert one blank frame at the end of 120 frames, on which to place a few words, then display that frame after all the other frames for about 22:03 seconds. PS. Yes, I am very frustrated. I've just lost my last sibling and my best friend & I just want to do this small & insignificant tribute. I never in a million years thought anything could be such an insurmountable, hateful undertaking.
