EZDrummer 2 Demo works for a bit then sound cuts out

[DivideByZero]

Hi,

Downloaded the demo today and installed. Running just in stand alone to have a play with it, at first it worked fine. For maybe two to three minutes. Then the sound just stopped working. After trying a few things I thought I would reboot my PC. That hung as Explorer was unable to play the logoff sound, so it seems like EZDrummer 2 had actually crashed my soundcard device.

Any ideas what I can do to look at this issue?

i7 4790k – 8GB ram – 2 sound cards (gaming – creative Xfi was not in use, but I was using the line 6 POD X3) Windows 7 x64.

I’ve not had issues like this with the POD X3 before now, I have been able to play and record with no issues. The only time I have ever seen a problem with the POD is if I am rebooting Windows and switch it off before I play the logoff sound (as it will then try and change the active soundcard while trying to play a sound), but that’s pretty standard and to be expected.

As for the demo, I just installed and used it. Not sure what, if any, settings I used on this.

Hopefully someone can help as this is eating in to my 9 days and I really want to get it tested.

Thanks, James

It’s looking like this is probably a hardware issue with the device (despite it being good under other very similar setups). I have raised a ticket with Line 6 based on info through their forums.

That’d been my guess…but I have no experience with either of those particular soundcards. I assume that they are both external.
I have used EZDrummer2 with a number of audio interfaces without issue.
(Tascam US-800, M-Audio ProFire 610, Avid ElevenRack, Fractal AxeFX II as well as my MacBook’s built-in output)

Maybe we can focus on a solution that helps you to do whatever it is that you hope to accomplish during the demo period….
what do you hope to accomplish?

Thanks for the reply.

Having managed to have a quick look at this, I’m really liking it. The main point for me buying this will be to use with Cubase, basically, to save me having to program the drums and velocities manually (which is slow dull work with a mouse). This should be fairly straight forward, but the main thing I want to see if it will help me is adding triplet fills. That’s a pain in Cubase normally.

In the manual mode, I am liking the fact that you drag bits in to the track and can then drag fills over the top of them. I have yet to try and see if you can drop a triplet fill over the top and what that does to time signatures.

Any advice on changing time signatures mid track?

Thanks
