Magix Music Maker 16 One thing I have that seems annoying with Magix Music Maker 16 is that it comes with this plugin called Vandal SE Guitar amplifier and it doesn't seem to allow you to use it as a live amp (play and hear directly).
I thought it might just be to allow you to apply effects to the clean guitar you have recorded previously on the timeline which indeed it does do after you have played and recorded it.
Bummer :( that's a great amp with some awesome effects but why cant you just use it like an amp with all them effect pedals etc. So I googled it and the only info on a forum I could find was someone replying to this question can it be played and heard directly and the answer was no.
Well I have found a way simply do this. Press M to bring up the mixer select the effect Vandal SE Guitar amp plugin just above the volume sliders on for example track one there is a drop down menu thingy.
Then this will bring up the Vandal amp in screen. Just move it slightly out of the way and click on the same track channel on the mixer that is still up behind and select audio record as the input/option, not midi etc.
Then hit the play button on the timeline in the main program and it will loop a no sound at all empty song. Remember not to record any other sounds on the whole timeline first unless you want a bit of backing like bass and drums etc. Now you'll find it is live and as your guitar is strummed it comes directly out of the speakers.
Woot it works and I guess its then possible to either record this via other wav recorders or just mash out playing with all them awesome effects.
This was achieved by plugging a standard practice amps headphones output socket to the line input on the PC via a step down adapter to 3.5mm phono or whatever it is lol.
