it seems to me that you have a problem with your soundcard. If you have microphone noise recorded, it seems that the Music Maker recording process is working.
You need to check the mic and the soundcard options in your system. This is especially tricky if you have connected more than one external input source. You have to make sure that you chose the mic.
In the Music Maker rec Menu (red button click), you can check:
- that you have selected the right sound card channel/input
You should have mentioned your Magix version, your OS, windows xp, vista or 7. Also name of sound card and if you use any audio interface etc.
Any way, Please check the following first.
Look right below, you will see your Speaker icon(for audio) double click it, and check the volume level, if sound is not mute, line in or mic is selected(it depends on your windows version)
Click on Control Panel of your computer click on Speaker Icon (sound) then click on Recording Tab and check if Mic or Line in is selected if not choose it.
Open your Magix Music Maker
click on computer keyboard "R" it will open Audio Recording windows look at No.3 Quality, under this put check mark on Playback while recording, you can choose other settings too if you like, also when you use mic you can monitor sound level where L and R are written, if you click on Volume mixer you will go back to the place SOUND you used from Control Panel, this is also short cut to access it. Click on it and see.
When done leave and again on computer keyboard click "P" key, it will open Program settings/Audio Midi device, look at left, you will have Driver option, it is better to choose ASIO driver for low latency. Otherwise choose according to your sound card. Click ok and leave.
Remember during recording very high volume is also not good therefore, please check the level in advance.
After making these adjustment you are ready to record.
For recording track, after making above settings, open Magix Music Maker mic must have been connected. Click on Record button again confirm settings when Audio Recording window open, start recording it will be recorded in empty tract.
