In this video: it looks easy to add in autotune. I tried this (pasting the .dll file into "Vintage Effects Suite" folder), but when I click "FX" on the Mixer, I can't select "VST FX". It doesn't appear!
I am using MMM14. What is the problem? Is it because I don't have Producer Edition?
Hi,
A few things here - I would NOT add .vst to the Vintage folder, keep them separated so you can move, modify or delete the .vst that you add. Simply create a folder called plug-ins or something and place all your DLLs there.
Second, simply pasting a .dll for a plug-in is not sufficient, you need to add the plug-in in Music Maker. A quick check of your manual will describe this process nicely. You should have a copy of the manual in the installation directory and on the program DVD.
Third, not having producers addition is a problem. It may be preventing you from adding plug-ins.
Finally, why use auto-tune with Music Maker? If you're using the even the basic version of auto-tune it cost three times as much as music maker. It's a bit like putting a diamond necklace on a hamster.
Why not use the elastic audio that comes with the product... or is that missing from the basic edition?
In a nutshell, version 14 requires the "Producer Edition" for VST support. So, that's the main problem here.
Beyond that I can second what Justin said about putting your external VST plug-ins into their own directory and also about whether it makes any sense to use this plug-in in conjunction with a product like Music Maker. Samplitude, yes. Maybe even Music Studio (basically the smallest version of Samplitude). But Music Maker? Then again, why not? ;-)
Don't get me started on the producer's edition vs. basic here - I have written in several previous posts the shady way in which Magix made this shift back to an earlier dist. model and suckered many people out of their money.
