Acid Music Studio 10 - Advertised to come with 3000 loops and samples. It came with none. Where are these supposedly included loops and samples?
Says right on the box:
"Get started with 3,000 included Sound Series Music Loops"

Are you suggesting its one of these?
@mr_ It looks like your version is so old, it is still from Sony? Have you got it from Steam? The Loops are listed there as a separate DLC you need to download. I think you need the Magix version for the downloads to work. Can you tell us from where you got this version? Sony stopped supporting it years ago. I don't think they still offer loops to download.
In the meantime, you can find some free Loops here: https://producerplanet.com/us/audio/loops-samples-250/?label[]=acid&label[]=magix&sort=price_asc
Maybe contact customer support at infoservice@magix.net and ask them to exchange your Sony version for a Magix version. Or ask them if they can send you the download link for the loops that come with the Magix version.
I got it. Thanks.
For anyone needing this info in the future, ACIDPlanet.com which is now ProducerPlanet.com has some free downloads
https://producerplanet.com/us/audio/free-download/
But the free downloads here are not licensed for commercial use, so its misleading.
And my copy of Acid Music Studio 10 also came with a code for 1 free download at
https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/loopdownload
In order to buy more from sony creative page, it seems we have to buy gift cards for it somewhere.

I just saw this. I only bought it last year. On Amazon.
i dont think the 3000 loops exist anymore, but i did find other free loops from Magix and Sony.
I also got free stuff from Splice.com
Note: That folder you mentioned is not there for me. It goes all the way to
C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common
But there is no Loop Collections folder.
It looks like they did away with it. They should remove that from the box. I bought it brand new not that long ago.
Hi
A bit of a long shot as I am going from memory, not having used Sony Acid for a very long while - IIRC the loops were installed in a series of sub folders in C:\Program Data\ . . . .
eg Sony\Acid\Music Studio or Acid\Music Studio.

@mr_ You got old stock from Sony, even if it was new in box. Sony's version works differently. The Common folder was set up by installing another Magix software, for example Music Maker. All Magix softwares share this folder.
The page is fresh, Magix is active on the listing. It shouldve been changed long ago.
Magix is active on the listing
What listing?

Assuming you mean that the product as sold to you should have been in some way changed, that is a matter for you to raise with Amazon. Magix has no control over exactly which version(s) of its products are sold by Amazon or Amazon Sellers. They "buy" the product from Magix (apparently, in this case, some years ago) at which point Magix (the company) has no further control of it.

Hi
. . . . The page is fresh, Magix is active on the listing. . . .
Can you provide a link to the page on Amazon where you bought it from, or a picture of the box.

The Common folder was created because you have installed Music Maker as you posted in this topic .

Do you have difficulty understanding English?
Re read the entire thread and then get back to us once you understand the discussion.

I just saw your second comment. I had Music Maker from a few years ago, i just installed Acid.
Either way, the files are not there. The 3,000 promised loops do not exist.
I did read that some other people got a second disc with their purchase, that im assuming was probably the loops, but i did not get that in my box. And numerous others also report not getting the fabled loops.
@mr_ I think you need to contact Amazon in case something is missing or not as described because Amazon is the seller.
You'll get the loops without problems by purchasing directly from Magix instead from Amazon. The problem is the old Sony stock which is still being sold by Amazon. Magix doesn't support the old Sony versions.
Since you have now received further advice that, should you wish to do so, you need to contact Amazon in case something is missing or not as described I will not directly respond to your totally unwarranted attack on my understanding of English.
I would, however, just remind you that politeness towards ALL forum participants is always required.
