Hello,

I also got mine through Humble and had a few issues getting everything going. I also chose Synthwave as one of mine and it downloaded pretty quickly.

If you close MM it will warn you about any in-progress downloads and show a window of their progress. After successfully installing mine I noticed 3 others with gibberish names that were stuck at 0%. It may be a borked download. I would try closing the program and re-install them again.

Hello. This is not the same issue as the one I am facing. It still happens after reopening the program.
In fact, I even tried reinstalling the program, but the same problem happened them. Actually, the other stuff I had downloaded before are still there even after completely uninstalling and reinstalling the program... That's a really bad software behavior. Uninstalling MAGIX Music Maker doesn't even remove the "Connect" adware it installs.

I fixed my issue by deleting the "Music Maker" folder from the "MAGIX Projects" one in my Documents.

Hi,

Watch my tutorial on Soundpools and where they go, including the ones purchased through the Store; they go under:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Soundpools\Shop

Check out this folder. Even though the install seems to stall, check to see if the Soundpool was actually completely installed. Some users have reported that the Soundpool installation was actually completed.

If not, try deleting the subfolder with the name of what you are trying to install and try again.

You should not reinstalling MusicMaker for things like this. There is no relationship between the program and a download problem with Soundpools.

Uninstalling MusicMaker does not remove Soundpools. I have more than a hundred Soundpools and would be horrified if uninstalling a version of MusicMaker wiped out my Soundpools. I do keep a backup just in case of disk failure.

Uninstalling MusicMaker does not remove the folders under My documents. If it did, it would wipe out your projects, recordings, exports, etc. Under C:\Users\User_name\Documents\MAGIX\Music Maker, there are some folders with names that start with ShopManager. I don't know what happens if you delete these, but doing so may solve the problem. This would be a question for Magix. But definitely, do not wipe out the rest of the folders if you have projects saved there.

. . . . Actually, the other stuff I had downloaded before are still there even after completely uninstalling and reinstalling the program... That's a really bad software behavior. . . . .

That is correct installer behaviour, any thing created before installation and after installation - the installer/un-installer knows nothing about these so does not remove them.

. . . . Uninstalling MAGIX Music Maker doesn't even remove the "Connect" adware it installs. . . . .

This is a separate program and has its own installer/un-installer Magix Network Sync as does Magix Cloud Import - these are launched from the MMM installer - and can be removed from the Windows Control Panel, Programs and features and/or Add or remove programs depending on the Windows version.

In addition to John CB's comment about un-installing/re-installing for issues like the above - this should only be done as a last resort and where the initial installation is corrupted.

. . . . ShopManager.I don't know what happens if you delete these . . . .

They are recreated on next run.
