Hi, I'm using MAGIX Music Maker Premium 2014 program to record. I want to know if you have to merge (join) two tracks recorded separately in one. I can drag and place one next to each other on the same track, but I want her to BECOME ONE WITH THE SAME AUDIO CONTROLS. I've tried tudoe could not, but I think that gives to do it in such a complete program. I will be very grateful for your help :)

Some information is not clear therefore my answer might not be what you want but please read below:

"two tracks recorded separately in one" (did you record this on Magix?)

"I want her to BECOME ONE WITH THE SAME AUDIO CONTROLS" (if you have recorded on Magix in that case you can do only by using your saved project and do manually) or

If you got files in audio format such as wave, mp3 etc you can normalize volume by right clicking choose Volume then Normalize. Refer screen shots from MMM 16 Premium.

If you got audio files with different volume in that case re export them and try to use Normalization as per your version.. Refer screen shot.

Did you try Grouping? You can group objects as you wish? Refer screen shot .

Sorry if my answer is not what you wanted.

Hi,

Perhaps you could post a screen shot or explain better what you are trying to do. I will take a guess at what you may be trying to do.

You should not mix different types of audio clips on the same track. For example, do not try to put a guitar then a piano audio clip sequentially on the the same track. Each one should have its own effects. Use the mixer or apply the effects to the object (clip).

You cannot mix different midi instruments on one track.

You cannot overlay one audio clip overtop of another one on the same track. It will replace it. For example in the image below, you cannot take an audio clip of guitar playing (or anything else) at the beginning of track 4 and try to superimpose it on an audio clip, guitar or otherwise, at the beginning of track 1. You cannot superimpose clips onto the same track. They have to stay on separate tracks.

If you have an audio (not midi) guitar clip on track 1 and you recorded another guitar clip on track 2 that will be before or after the clip on track 1, then you can simply drag the clip from track 2 onto track 1, so long as there is nothing in the way on track 1. Then you can apply the effects to the track using the mixer. But, like I said, do not do this with different instruments. Use the mixer and apply the effects to the separate tracks. You can also save effects from the track or object and then apply (load) them to other tracks.

The reason that there is a mixer is to get the effects done up per track.

Finally the mixer allows you to apply overall effects to everything. As well, you can mix down the song and apply the effects to that.

I suggest that you read up on this in the manual.

Let us know what it is that you are trying to do because we are not sure that we understand.

Good luck with FL. However, whatever it was that you seemed to be trying to do, which we couldn't really understand, you will have exactly the same problem with FL or anything else. You cannot mix instruments on the same track with one over top of the other, unless you first create a file with them mixed together.

Oh yeah. Dumping MM as soon as able.

@PJtelelman,

Why? Do you have problems but have not asked any questions? Read the manual?

The other gentleman decided to go to FL Studio, no longer called Fruity Loops, which bills itself as a DAW. The bottom of the line program costs 99$ and here is what it can't do, according to the FLStudio site:

No audio recording.
No Audio Clips.
No Automation Clips.
NOT all plugins

Music Maker is not a DAW, even though it is the bottom level of Samplitude Pro, which is a DAW, and one of the best on the market. With Music Maker, you can record audio, use audio clips, do automation, use plugins, do midi, and use the various instruments, synthesizers and effects tools, assuming that the user clicks on the button to download and install them, not to mention use the thousands of Soundpool loops that come with it. You can also import video and do some simple video editing or fairly complex dubbing.

What the other gentleman wanted is in Magix Music Studio, which is a baby DAW, or in the next step up, which is Samplitude Music Studio and a junior DAW. As far as I could figure, he wanted to create a Submix bus, which cannot be done in Music Maker, but can in Music Studio. A submix bus combines several tracks. It controls the volume, panorama, and effects settings of all tracks that are “routed” to the submix bus. For example, all drum tracks (hi-hat track, bass drum track, etc.) can be combined to one submix bus so that the entire drum kit can be controlled via the volume controller of the submix bus. He was just using the wrong Magix product.

For anyone who doesn't take the time to learn, or bother to read even the basic part of the manual, this program is not for that person. In fact, there are no programs with any amount of complexity that can be mastered without a manual and without a lot of learning and effort.

So, if you have a problem or a question, please feel free to ask, and include sufficient details as indicated on the 'Pose a question' screen.

And if you haven't gotten very far, take a look at my tutorial under the Tutorials tabs for new users of MMM2015. You might find it instructive.
