      I have checked REAPER and the events track is perfectly lined up with the rest of the song. Confused. I’ve been trying at this for 2 hours now.

        If Magma says it’s missing, it’s missing from your exported MIDI file. Double check.

          Chances are you probably muted the EVENTS track or might’ve removed the track name

            I have checked. All tracks are unmuted. All tracks are named correctly. I just used the C3 RB3 Template

              I can guarantee you that Magma is not missing a properly named and exported track. So either the name is not in the correct format or it’s not being exported. Run the MIDI file through MIDI Analyzer in C3 CON Tools and post what it says.

                Make sure the MIDI you’re compiling is actually the latest version you exported. Post your RPP project+Magma+MIDI if you can’t find a solution and we’ll take a look.

                  MIDI analyzer says there is no events track. In Reaper the track is just called EVENTS and is above VENUE and BEAT. Also my drum fills have disappeared for some reason.

                    I’m actually getting stressed over this. I have tried everything. The name is correct in reaper, everything is setup fine in magma, my midi is fine. WHAT IS WRONG!!!

                      You see that marker at the very beginning of the “EVENTS” track? Make sure it’s a “Track name” and not a “Text event” by clicking on it.

                        Explain?

                        The thing that says “music_start”?

                            No, the actual track. Should be EVENTS. If all you’re seeing is music_start, then you indeed have the exact problem Magma is giving you. Ensure your events track has a track called EVENTS (just like every other track and it should be at 1.1.0) and it’s a TRACK NAME and not a TRACK EVENT. Quicker if you just post your RPP and someone will surely take a looksee.

                                Yup. You have no EVENTS track in there. And you’re going to have other issues as your other events are not labeled properly (your music start, music end and end are not correctly labeled). My best advice is to use another events track from the template and copy it into this file so it will be properly structured.

                                It should look like below

                                29116355408_497e2f863a_z.jpg

                                Then, do NOT remove the events in that track. Just leave them for now until you can get it to compile right. Then you can remove the events that don’t make sense to your song (should be only verses, choruses, etc.).

                                  Just glancing at your other tracks, looks like you’re going to have more Magma errors ahead. You have events in areas you shouldn’t have anything, so that will throw an error. See my screenshot below on your drum track.

                                  You’ll notice there is a black dot next to “Bank/Program”. The only ones that should have a dot next to them are Velocity and Text Events. All the rest should have no events in them (those markers at the bottom are events). Far will chime in and tell you to use CAT to clean those markers out, but I wanted you to understand what the automated program tool is doing.
