Does anyone else find MMM2016 Premium to be awful to navigate

Coming from MMM 2013 Premium , I think 2016 is awful.

Works fine on my system , but , it is overly complicated to use now.

It is way too cluttered , and navigation is horrible.

Is there any way to make it kind of look and or function like MMM2013?

I am very disappointed , but I am still trying to learn the 2016 version (I still have 2013 installed so I can continue to make music without frustration).

I still love Magix as I have been using them since 2005 , so any knoledgeable help will be appreciated.

Hi

There is no way to do this.  The new layout - which IMHO is better - was introduced (IIRC) with MMM2015.

IMHO the frustration you are having is exacerbated by reverting back to MMM2013, ie it is a case of one step forward, 2 steps back with MMM2016.

The best advice I can give is to stick with MMM 2016, you will learn to navigate it much more quickly then if you keep reverting back to MMM 2013.

Have you looked at the new version 2017 yet? It is different from 2016 and my first reaction was negative. It has some flaws but it is still simple to use.

I find both 2016 and 2017 simple to use. What are you having problems with?
