Cant get cubase to recognize superior drummer as VST

[tjiscooler]

ok so I have Cubase LE5 and have been using EZ drummer fine for years. i have just bought and had superior installed but I cant get it to show in in cubase

it works in the solo player fine. I downloaded both 32 and 64 bit as recommended, and ive also moved the .dll into steinburg VST folders as well as the same place the EZ .dll is located (C: programfilesx86,VST,toontrack. which woks fine) but i cannot get it to show up as a usable instrument.

Any help? been at it for hours and im going nuts.

Where did you move it from? You realize moving the .dll will break any future updates correct? As now, the updater won’t know where you moved it to.

sorry, I meant copied/paste. I copied it into the same folder as the Original old EZ drummer dll because i knew cubase was for sure looking there.

Ok. Where did you copy/paste it from then?

so i removed the copied file so things were back to normal. I set a new cubase path to programfiles>VST>Toontrack>64bit this is where ezdrummer2 and superior drummer2 dll files are located originally but nothing happens after hitting update paths in cubase

EZdrummer 1 still works fine in cubase. as do ezdrummer2 standalone and superior in the solo program as well, so I dont get it. im on windows 7 64 bit. old ez drummer is 64 bit as well no problem there.

Is your Cubase LE5 64-bit or 32-bit?

pretty sure its 64, ill check again

ALSO i just downloaded the trial version of reaper just to see what happens and it automatically picked up EZdrummer2 and Superior 2 no problem, BUT it did not pick up the original ez drummer haha. so im totally stumped

The EZD2 .dll should replace the EZD1 .dll.

thats odd, because ez drummer 1 is still working fine in cubase

[Scott]

Well, I should say, the EZD2 searches the original install location of EZD1 and replaces it. It won’t replace it if the orginal EZD1 .dll was moved or copied.
