For longer samples of more than 15 seconds, you have the option to automatically activate the Remix Agent. If needed, this can be a valuable tool for further processing the samples.

Another point concerns the descriptive adjustment for short samples. This is a useful option for lower performance capacities, as it ensures efficient processing for quick handling. You can enable this option as needed.

Magix Music Maker offers the ability to read audio CDs analog. However, be cautious: Reading protected CDs is not possible. Simply test the function with your CD to see if the import works.

The MIDI editor represents a separate option. You don't necessarily need it at import but can call it up manually at any time. If you were to automatically activate it with every MIDI file, it could be cumbersome.

Additionally, you can activate the preview window in the media pool for audio and video files. This ensures efficient access to the imported files. Make sure to open the media pool to see your activated formats.

Next, there are more file formats that you can enable or disable. Keep all of them generally enabled to avoid problems while working with different formats.
