I want to create my own music and use my own piano sound, not a VST instrument. BUt that seems to be the only way to turn it into and audio and put it on itunes. i looked at the magix manual and it says to export it and then add it back in, but it doesn say HOW to add it back in. does anyone know what im talking about? please help. i have Magix Music Maker 16

Try this....when yu export, you have to name the file and also tell Magix what folder to put it in.  When you go to add it back in, Magix will ask for name of file, and where can I find it ?  If its a format Magix likes, it will then download it for you....by the way, yu also name the type of format

"I want to create my own music and use my own piano sound,"

To use the voice(s) of your piano, you need to record the audio output of your piano/keyboard.  You need to connect the audio output jacks on the back of your keyboard to the audio input(s) of your sound card or audio interface.  Then, make an audio recording in MMM.  MIDI and VST's are not involved in this process.  If you are using a laptop that doesn't have a proper audio input, you'll need to purchace an appropriate USB audio/MIDI interface.  In most cases, a microphone jack is NOT a proper input unless your computer's documentation specifically states that it is dual function.

If you're transmitting and recording MIDI, then using a VST instrument is your only option.

To import any compatible audio file into MMM, use the File Manger tab.  Find the file on your hard drive and double-click on or drag it into the arranger just like you would an soundpool sample.

 

so where can i buy an audio driver? my keyboard is a Casio and automatically records it as a MIDI. sorry i am really new with this and this part is frustrating me because I can't get past it....

A little clarification, please....Is the Casio keyboard one of their high-dollar ones or one of the $99 learn to play piano toys ?  I f, as you say, you want to create your own music and use your own piano sound, then how did MM get even involved ?  Are you tryng to use it solely as a recording program ?

We'd like to help you further, but we can't because you haven't given us any specific, useful information about your computer or keyboard.  Uh...no one said anything about an audio driver.

We need to know which model your Casio is.  Casio has made a zillion different models over the years. They're not all that different, but we can give you more specific information if we know which model it is.

We need to know what audio input jacks (if any) you have on your computer/sound card (usually blue), or if you have an audio/MIDI interface, which is (usually) an external audio card with all of the necessary input/output jacks.

I do not have a sound card or any input-output jacks. i have the one cord that goes from the piano into the usb port on the computer PC. im not sure what model it is im sorry

The model is (usually) a set of letters and numbers right next to the word Casio on the face of the instrument.

Without any audio input jacks on the computer, you'll need some sort of USB/Audio/MIDI interface.

If you're using some sort of USB cable, you're transmitting MIDI only.

i am only using a USB, so what else is there to use so i dont have to use MIDI?
