EZDrummer Freezing

[engineerjoel]

Just installed EZDrummer version 1.1.1.

Mac Dual 2.7 PPC G5
2.5 Gig Ram
OSX 10.5.8

Host is ProTools HD 8.0.1 cs 2.

Problem:
1. EZDrummer takes about 2 mins for Samples to completely Load…..Is this normal load-time?
2. When auditioning drum sounds via a Midi Keyboard or just using the mouse to play the GUI drums, EZDrummer will Freeze in an endless loop. I have to Force Quit to stop it.

Any tips/clues????

thanks,

Also, during the installation process, I don’t recall having the installer ask me what directory to copy the sample library to. I “think” that the sample library was copy to the Mac HD system drive by default. For better performance, I’d like to move the sample library folder to my external drive where I house all my “sample Libraries”. If this is possible, what is the procedure to ‘move’ the EZDrummer sample library folder to my external drive?

Awe Rats! …..Just realized that there is an update 1.2.1.

Just installed the update and No more Freezing. Also, the Sample Library folder was moved to a new location.

But loading the samples into EZDrummer still takes about 2 mins.

Later.

Is your Session set to 44,1kHz sample rate or higher?
If higher, loading is slower, yes due to resampling on the fly.
