Hello Community.


Can some help clear up the following points -

Are all loops from the Magix's copyrighted - and hence you cannot sell on any music made with the loops involved - or does it apply to MM17 sound pools onwards?

Also is there any way of gaining free license to use the sound pools?

Regards BIGBALL
