Only Two Soundpools? I need more. How?

I just bought Magix Music Maker (v24.0.1.39) with Windows 10, and there are only two soundpools available (I have searched my harddrive) and both of them are quite bad and skimpy. I assume I have to purchase more of them if I am to create music which I like, mainly classical and flamenco guitar, bluegrass banjo, and love ballads. How can I obtain such soundpools, and how much do they cost?

See this post further down this forum page.

. . . . My question does NOT refer to "Mufin Player" . . . .

You would have seen Music Maker on the list of software if you had scrolled down in the selector.

Hi,

Once you have downloaded everything, in the Loops Window, click on the gear wheel at the right and select "Add new Soundpools." They should all be in the same place. Watch my tutorial on Getting Started in MusicMaker under the Tutorials tab.

If you are talking about making your own music, then you use the instruments and record what you play into MIDI.

I searched my hard drive and could not find any additional soundpools other than the two default ones that came with the Music Maker program. However, I discovered that a website called “Music Maker Jam” had 4 free soundpools, so I downloaded them, and to my great surprise, they worked. They also had other soundpools (none of which seemed very appealing) but they were available for a price. The additional freebie soundpools have the same instruments as the original soundpools (I thought these music- making programs were supposed to have numerous instruments!) but the additional sounds are fortunately superior than those contained in the default soundpools. I hope this helps any newbie who is as frustrated and disappointed in the Music Maker program as I am.
