Loading Show Files into Muséik (3.0)Updated a month ago

Once you have Muséik installed on your computer and your Show File(s) downloaded to the same hard drive you will need to load your media into the platform. 

To do this we first need to store the Show File(s) in the proper location.

• Check to make sure that your files are uncompressed (they should not end in a .zip extension, the file name should end with .ion.

• Make sure you are working with the Show File and not a folder.  Sometimes when you unzip your Show File on a Windows machine it is stored in a FOLDER with the same name as the .ion Show File.  If this FOLDER is placed in the Library folder Muséik will not recognize the Show File inside of it. Please move the .ion Show File up one layer so it is stored at User/Documents/Museik/Library.

• Go to your file directory and inside your Documents folder double click on a folder called Museik.  Inside that folder you will see another folder called Library. Double click on the Library folder to open it.

• Move all your Show Files to the Library folder. The file path should be: User/Documents/Museik/Library. Muséik will only recognize media files stored in this Library folder. If they are not stored here you will get the invalid license error when you try to open them.

• Inside the Muséik interface there are eight media bays, each labeled "ADD TRACK".  Click on the text "ADD TRACK" in the top media bay. A file directory will pop up. Navigate to User/Documents/ Museik/Library. Your Show Files should appear in the Library folder. Click on the file you want to load and then click "OPEN".   The license will take a moment to unlock, and then you will be ready to move to the How To Engage File section below. 

HOW TO ENGAGE AND PLAY A FILE

• To the left of the media bay (now populated with the title of your Show File) there is a small circle. Click on it. The circle will turn white and the music score will appear in the top window in your interface.

  

• Press the space bar to begin playing the media.
