What are soundpools?
Soundpools are collections of audio loops and samples that are organized by genre, style, mood, and instrument. They contain thousands of sounds that you can use to create your own music. Each soundpool has a BPM (beats per minute) and a key that indicate the tempo and the tonality of the sounds. You can combine sounds from different soundpools to create your own unique style.
How to download soundpools?
There are two ways to download soundpools for Magix Music Maker 15: through the program itself or through the Magix website. Here are the steps for each method:
- Through the program: Open Magix Music Maker 15 and click the button "Add styles" in the Soundpool (this button is not visible in Easy mode). Navigate to the Magix Music Maker program directory. For normal program installations this will be "C -> Programs -> Magix -> Music Maker". Select the "Basics" folder and confirm with OK. Restart the program. All of the sounds will now be imported and available immediately after program start.
- Through the website: Go to the [Magix website] and browse for the soundpools you want. You can filter them by genre, price, rating, and release date. You can also listen to previews of each soundpool before buying them. Once you have chosen the soundpools you want, add them to your cart and proceed to checkout. You will need to create an account or log in with your existing one. After completing the payment, you will receive an email with a download link for each soundpool. Click on the link and save the file on your computer. Then, open the file by double clicking it. The soundpool will now be installed.
How to use soundpools?
Once you have downloaded and installed the soundpools you want, you can start using them in Magix Music Maker 15. Here are some tips on how to use them:
- Drag and drop: The easiest way to use soundpools is to drag and drop them from the Loops window into the Arranger window. You can adjust the length, volume, pitch, and effects of each loop by using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts. You can also cut, copy, paste, move, delete, and duplicate loops as you wish.
- Mix and match: You can mix and match sounds from different soundpools to create your own style. All loops are compatible with each other, so you don't have to worry about matching the BPM or key. You can also change the BPM or key of your project by using the Master Pitch or Tempo buttons.
- Add vocals and instruments: You can also add your own vocals or instruments to your project by using the Record button or by importing audio files from your computer. You can edit your recordings by using the Audio Editor or by applying effects such as reverb, delay, distortion, etc.
- Export and share: When you are happy with your project, you can export it as an audio file (MP3, WAV, OGG, etc.) or as a video file (AVI, WMV, etc.) by using the Export button. You can also share your project online by using the Upload button or by burning it on a CD or DVD.
