Thank you .. if I knew how to in the new 2022 edition I could do it

@thiesen I don't have the program in front of me right now, but I think you can do this inside the program settings if you click on the folders (or paths) tab. There should be a button to set up your VST paths. This button is only visible if your version of Music Maker has the VST plugin from the store installed.

If this isn't the case you could try to go into the folder with the program settings and delete them. In C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\MAGIX\mm30 there should be some VST scan files. I suggest you rename them or move them to your desktop. If you restart Music Maker it should recreate them from scratch.

Hi,

You need to read the BeatBox part in the manual to properly, or at least partially, understand how this works; it's not obvious. There is a button that is something like a waveform at the right of the top row of the BeatBox, to the right of the BPM info. Hold down the mouse on this and it creates an audio file. When the timer stops, drag it onto the BeatBox track or another empty track.

The audio object is loopable and copyable. You can then change the beat in BeatBox and create another audio file and drag it to the same or another track, etc.
