Why does my Songmaker (Premium 15) show all of my Styles?

My songmaker only contains a few different style to choose from although my soundpool contains all of the sound dvds that I have copied on to my harddrive. Can someone explain please, they the songmaker doesn't include ALL of the sound styles that are available to me in my soundpool? Thanks

Songmaker?  I assume you mean Music Maker 15 Premium?

I'll try to answer your question, even though it is a little short on clarity and specifics.

It seems to be a common glitch in the MM-15 program.  I've found the best thing to do is to delete and then reload the soundpools.

First, open MM-15.  Then, go to File > Settings > Program Settings OR simply hit the 'Y' key. Make sure the "Use Installed Soundpool Even After Reset" box is NOT checked and click on the "Reset Soundpool" button.

The soundpool should now be empty. Close the pop-up by clicking OK.

Click on "Add Styles". Go to the folder...C:\Program Files\MAGIX\Basics_15...and click OK. It should then load all of the soundpools contained in the Basic_15 folder, which should include the added styles for the Premium upgrade.

If you have other Soundpools that you've loaded elsewhere on your hard drive, you will need to click on "Add Styles" and go to the appropriate folder(s) to load those as well.

Sorry about that!  My mistake.  I misunderstood.  So many people who ask questions here either do not know or don't bother to use the correct terminology.  Since you had, it threw me, and I just assumed you misspoke.

Plus, I just never use the Songmaker feature.

At great risk to myself, I've come to the conclusion that Songmaker will only recognize the default styles that came with the Basic or Premium version you have.

Even if I put other styles into the Basic_15 folder and reload the styles, only the default styles will appear in the Songmaker menu.
