@Alex-Kirkwood Are you taking about a audio feedback loop?

mm..Not sure. It's coming through midi usb rather than audio/Mic socket

@Alex-Kirkwood Can you upload a screenshot of your Audio/MIDI program settings via the blue arrow icon above the text box? And please upload a second screenshot of the settings of the window that appeared after you clicked on the "Advanced" button. In this window you usually configure the settings of your audio driver.

@Alex-Kirkwood I cannot see the screenshot of the "Advanced" button window.

@Alex-Kirkwood Can you expand the Realtek options by clicking the plus icon? Normally, Realtek is the manufacturer of the sound chip on your computer's motherboard. This is selected in your driver settings. This also means that the sound should be coming out of the computer's standard audio outputs, not through a USB MIDI device connected to the computer. So this doesn't make sense or your problem description is wrong or I didn't understand it correctly.

Would installing Magix on a different laptop help? I assume you can install Magix on another device?

@Alex-Kirkwood Thanks for the screenshots. Your Realtek settings look good. Maybe you could disable the Mic input option temporarily, in case there is some kind of feedback loop.

Without correctly understanding what your problem exactly is, I wouldn't advise to install the program on a different device. Maybe you can describe step by step what you are doing and what isn't working in your opinion.

Thanks. I'll let you know the outcome. I appreciate your help

Hi

. . . . When I try to connect my midi controller to record music it starts the play it's own music in a loop . . . .

Try connecting the MIDI controller to the computer before starting Music Maker.

Please learn how to take screenshots, the mobile phone images are very poor quality - here is a tutorial on how to do this.

Hi, here's what happening. I reinstalled Magix on a much faster laptop. Not much better. I'm trying to record midi tracks using my synth. When I try to record, it's like the DEMO track starts playing about 20 secs after I start, a short chord sequence. I have tried going into the prof settings under import section and switched off automatically play stuff, still the same

prog settings sorry

I am trying to record using the free analogue synth and Cosmic Pad instrument

@Alex-Kirkwood The demo MIDI of each Vita instrument is mapped to a MIDI note (usually a low note outside of the play range). So, if you play this note and hold it, the demo MIDI will play.

Ah. This makes sense! Is there no way of switching this off? It seems an incredibly annoying thing to build into the program, especially for people like me who like to play big chords

No matter what I play it seems to set it off! Such a frustrating program for those of us that want to use a midi keyboard rather than writing the midi notes
