Beatbox could not be loaded

David-Inman4969 wrote on 6/24/2023, 11:46 PM

Potential reason:

An empty track cannot be added to the project

I keep getting this error on MusicMaker Premium

I've tried a reinstall several times and Did a deep clean with Ashampoo uninstaller

which identified and corrected registry entries but to no avail.

Has anyone had this same problem and knows how I can fix it so the program will load??

Thank you

@David-Inman4969 Try resetting the program settings under the File > Settings menu or try to rescan the VST path in the program settings.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it locks up the program and denies me all access. It starts to load then throws up the error and locks up. I wonder if there's some way beatbox can be repaired outside the program....

. . . . It starts to load then throws up the error and locks up . . . .

What does the error message say - please quote in full or post a screenshot of the error message.

This could also be a graphics card issue - what is your computer specification, Windows version and program version, see this topic for what is required and please quote processor and graphics card make/model in full, and also what monitor/screen resolution(s) your are working with if this is a laptop.

I would suggest you put this information in your profile signature so we do not have to keep asking for it.

Are the graphics card drivers up to date?

Are you using an external USB drive?

To clarify: The program was running just fine until (as well as I recall) I clicked on beatbox
to see what it does. I had just started a new project without any content added.
I am running win11 Home MusicMaker is the latest version I'm running on an Alienware Aurora 9
Drivers are up to date and MusicMaker is installed on C: But I do have an E: Drive

I solved it. When the error for beatbox happens I hit the esc button and it loads a requester

that says beatbox.vst can't be loaded. Click the "x" to close the requester and it might come up again but just keep closing the requester till you can click to close the beatbox window.
