Hi and welcome to the forum

A few tips on posting in the forum:-

Please read this topic and put the following information in your profile signature so we do not have to ask for it: 

  • Computer specification - processor make/model, graphics card or chipset make/model, audio card or chipset make/model, RAM,  hard drive configuration and sizes?
  • Windows version and is it up to date?  Press and hold down the Windows key and the R key - in the dialog that opens type in winver and press enter.
  • Software full name and version number - as found under Help, About . . .

Also when posting please include the following where applicable:

  • Audio and/or video file formats being imported
  • Export format and settings used
  • MediaInfo data on audio or video - see below

If you have issues with importing audio or video please use to analyse a problem clip and post the results from the Tree view in MediaInfo

Also add any other information you think may be relevant.

If you want to post examples of your work with a Magix program  there is a separate section of the forum - click the Media option at the top of the page.

The Community rules are to be found using the link at the bottom of the page.

If you want to create music for commercial use, using any of the Soundpools, please see this article and this comment.

Thanks.

Assuming you are using the latest version Music Maker you can purchase additional soundpools, instruments and effects in the Store tab in the program.

If you're new to music making, i would suggest loops loops loops. Work with loops and soundpools to get a feel for music arrangement. YOu can transition into MIDI, hardware and vst instruments incrementally, but loops will have you making completed songs in a very short amount of time.
Soundpools are a bit more advanced than plain loops, using phrases in different keys, so it plays like an instrument.

https://www.magix.com/us/soundpools/ you can hear demos for any soundpool available, actual songs from the soundpools.
Keep in mind that audio and music making is a massive rabbit hole, so it's best to start out simple.. music maker is free, and there are lots of other free resources scattered across the web.. probably too many to be honest. Ultimately, you have to go with what encourages you to produce, so soundpools/acid loops are a great introduction
