I can't use this program (Music Maker MX) I tried for over 2 hours and everything I put together sounds like crap. I don't know enough about music to use this program. How do I get a refund and cancel the part of my order that has to do with Music Maker, the download and the companion disk of the software. I want to keep Magix PC Live.
Sorry Charlie...that's not likely to happen. Once you've purchased it and used it, it's yours.
If you were unsure of your musical aptitude or ability to use the software, you should have tried out the free trial version first.
Two hours is hardly enough time to really get a really good feel for using the software. It's also highly likely you haven't read one word of the owner's manual.
If all you're looking for is instant results, open up MM, go to the Edit menu, click on Song Maker (or W key), punch in a few parameters, and let MM do all of the work for you. But, what's the fun in that?
If you're REALLY that disappointed, you can always uninstall it, and sell it (assuming it is a physical DVD) to someone else. If it's the download version, your only option is to put some effort into learning how to use it.
I purchased it. downloaded it and have not used it. After reading the bull about copyright limitations I do not even want to begin to use it.
I even read the extended licenses... in my opinion the price is not bad. Excuse me...the Unlimited license. But after reading the license for the Unlimited.... it is about as usless as a one ply toilet tissue... right... pretty shitty. Who would buy it.

And your point is...?
You don't need to quote the license terms to me as I am already well aware of them, and they are perfectly reasonable to reasonable people. BTW...the license you quote applies ONLY to the soundpools. You are free to create your own "art" for which YOU will own the copyright, and you are free to do whatever you want with them.
The gist of the problem is this, (and I quote)...
I don't know enough about music to use this program.
Hello, I currently have Magix Photostory installed on my computer, and I like it so much I just purchased Magic Deluxe. However, I didn't check to see if the system requirements have change since I originally purchased Photostory. I have Windows XP as my operating system. Will the Deluxe version work on my computer...? If not, I need to cancel my order. Thank you!
By the way, I have not received the product. (I requested the hard-copy version.) I do hope I can use it, as I really do love working with Magix...!

You've also bumped up a nine year old thread about a different program. Photostory will not work with XP.
Further to what Graham mentioned, there is no such program called "Magix Deluxe" and why are you posting under MusicMaker if you're talking about PhotoStory?
Hello @Veganarian,
