@arthur-crocker Have you re-scanned the VST paths in the Music Maker program settings? You can add Vandal through the FX rack by clicking on the plus icon in the bottom left corner after opening the rack by clicking on the yellow FX icon in the track header.

Thank you for your suggestion. I had already done as suggested and so I tried it several more times. Even rebooted the computer a couple of times and still nothing. Under Features it says that I purchased it and I received and email to that affect. I tried to download it again and it said the the voucher had been used. I went to MY ACCOUNT and Vandal is not listed among my purchases and under Music Maker 2022 Premium it shows it registered, but not activated on a device. Must be a glitch in Magix's account registry. I had downloaded the program as a free trial and then activated it with the serial number once I purchased it a few days later. Perhaps I should have deleted the trial and downloaded it again. It's strange that I saw the download bar progress, but when I searched my hard drive, I found no trace in my download registry or in the folder where it should have been. Thank again for your attention.

I'm not sure whether this will help you but I've just opened my copy of MM Premium 2022 (version 30.0.5.47), opened the FX setting for a track with an object on it, gone to the + sign, selected MAGIX plugins and Vandal SE is the first item on the list. So not in any sort of alphabetical order!

Thanks for your attention. I have the same version 30.0.5.47. The offer that I purchashed included the full version a of Vandal. Under Features in the store, It shows that I purchase Vandal. I think the problem is a registration issue on their end. What is puzzling to me is that I saw the progress indicator of the download, but can't find a trace of it on my system. May have a self-destruct function. I am contacting Support. Thanks.

HI

Vandal SE is not registered in your account at magix.com - the registrations for the edition and plugins you have are not accessible to a user.

I too have MMM 2022 v 30.0.5.47 and Vandal is available in the object, track and master Effects rack as shown in image below.

Check the Vandal is installed - it should be in the folder: C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\Music Maker\30\MAGIX Plugins\Vandal_SE and its sub-folders.

Thank you @browj2 for your assistance. I have neither of the paths that you shared above. Thank you johnebaker, I did go back and find Vandal and Vandal LE I was missing a couple of steps by not clicking on the plus button and selecting Magix plugins. After looking at your last post, I was able to locate the Vandal files. I'm curious as to why a search on drive C: Would not locate it. With nothing in Magix's registry, I wonder how we can reinstall Vandal should their be a hard drive failure or need to move to a different computer. Thanks so much for your help.
