so, made a song with MMM 2013 but looks like there is 16 sec long vocal loop that I can`t see/find. so, I deleted absolutely all instruments (of course 1st made a copy of my project), but as I pushed the Play button, there was still this sound. but can`t see that at all to remove it. 
does anyone knows how to find hidden instruments/objects (to remove it)?

Hi,

Ah, the famous phantom vocals from the great beyond.

Place the playback marker at the beginning of where you hear the phantom vocal, stop, then scroll down the arranger with the right side scroll bar watching for the offending track to come into view. If you set up your project for 99 tracks, you may have to scroll down a long ways, but by default, you probably only have 16. When you find it, you may express yourself out loud with some kind of incantation or chant, then move or delete the loop.

The best way to find such part is by ZOOM which you can use from right bottom of the arranger. There are Plus/Minus/Zoom. Or you can use short cut keys hope this will work or check Magix PDF manual.

Increase clip size (zoom in) Ctrl+Arrow up
Reduce clip size (zoom out) Ctrl+Arrow down
Zoom 1 frame Ctrl+1
Zoom 5 frames Ctrl+2
Zoom 1 sec Ctrl+3
Zoom 10 sec Ctrl+4
Zoom 1 min Ctrl+5
Zoom 10 min Ctrl+6
Zoom view between start and end marker Ctrl+7
Zoom over whole arrangement Ctrl+8
Increase track pitch Alt+Arrow up
Reduce track pitch Alt+Arrow down

If you find that part of the music you can then delete it or if it is in one object you can split the part then delete that.

Delete Del
Split T

Additional: To find out the vocal loop you can mute all track and just let one track play at a time. Suppose there are 10 tracks in your project, let track one play and mute all others. If you can not find the vocal loop you are looking for this time just play 2nd track then third and fourth until you find the vocal loop. If you play all tracks all together then it will be difficult task. Just Play one track at a time. When you find the vocal track then follow the methods I have talked above.

 

Hope above answer will be helpful.
