Instrument Recording did not save with the project.

JMRSNL wrote on 8/15/2019, 10:06 PM

So I began a new project. Started by using my piano instrument and recorded my 1st track with my keyboard. Then moved on and recorded 2 other instruments and then I got some soundloops in then completed my project. I then saved the project then the next day I opened my project and all the tracks with an instrument recordings were gone. The only tracks that stayed were the soundloops. What happened at this point? Is there a certain way I was supposed to save my instrumental recordings? The day before i was able to loop and cut my recording. Why wasn't it saved the way I left it? Thank you. I looked through the manual page 85 about midi but found no solution. FYI Music Maker 2020 premium edition, Window 10.

@JMRSNL

Welcome to the Magix forums.

What is the setting under Program settings (shortcut P)>Folders on your computer for "Recordings"? I've attached a screenshot of mine below, which is highly customised so will be different to yours.

Have you checked the contents of whichever folder is shown on your screen?

I have the same problem, issue isn't not knowing where are the projects, but files and bars disappiring from saved projects. It doesn't save at all, even if you hit that save button and others save's it won't save "whole".

I have the same issue. I think I pinpointed the problem to be that if I cut a MIDI track somewhere in the timeline, it doesn't save them. I tried it with a project where I recorded a long track to the topmost slot, then copied it to 2 lower slots and cut them a few times. Then I saved the file and when I went to another file and came back, only the topmost track was saved.

before saving

after saving

 

It doesn't matter if there's an instrument set for the lower slot either. I think this is a huge bug that needs to be addressed instantly. Where can I report it?

Drum instrument at slot number 2.

Still dissappears after saving.

Hope someone can tell me if I'm using the software somehow wrongly.

I have had so many issues with Magix products and is time to jump ships, their support is not helpful. I am having similar issues as well , this software is so frustrating, it does weird stuff. I spent the whole entire day working on a song only to open it to find out it didn't save. The support isn't great and i think is time try alternate softwares.

This bug hasn't been solved yet, so it seems be a very complex internal problem. But I've read some days ago, that a fix should be available in one of the next updates. As long as the bug is not solved MIDI tracks should be exported before closing the project just to be save. Then it is possible to reimport them, if they are missing the next time the project is openend.
