A friend of mine recently purchases the Magix Music Studio 2015, and we have yet to be able to record anything. The input qaulity is horrible. Scratchy, cutting out, overall, its a mess. I thought this might be a problem with the equipment, so I shut down the program, and opened up the audio manager for my PC (Realtek HD Audio Manager), without Magix running, recording and playback are perfect. Next I tried lowering the input volume, thinking maybe that was the issue, we brought it down to as low as -30, and the quality didn't improve. So, I'm at a loss here, what can I do to improve this?

If you need anymore information, let me know.

Thanks.
