I am very puzzled by this.

just bought ez drummer 3, still downloading the stuff. I find it really puzzling how many companies do not seem to include a simple pdf manual of how their software work, and Toontrack seems no exception. For example, in the ‘documentation’ the ‘manual’ is actually a link that takes you here and there and everywhere, and then you have to bust your ass to download a pdf version of the manual. It’s not even a link to an actual pdf, you have to bust your ass to make a pdf of the thing.

I find this  exceedingly strange, considering that I am downloading 20 gb of content.  Any logical reason why a pdf file of 30 mb is not included? Is it just to cause people to bust their ass?

Thank you for the clarifications.

There is a simple Print or Save option on the bottom of the online manual. It’s much easier to update the manual this way (online only) and more flexible for the user base.

Of course there are users that would prefer a new manual for every update included in the installer and even those that would prefer a paper manual, but the Print or Save option at the bottom of the manual web page seems the most flexible option.

PS. by the time I got the damn manual, I hated it before opening it so I didn’t even want to read it anymore

wow, I was impressed about how easy it was to authorize the software! I just clicked once and it was done. My ass is relieved. Things are getting better….it may be that the only really hard part was getting THE pdf file. The prized one.

anyways, got to give the software 10/10, I like it. Tried the ‘bandmate’ feature and it blew my mind, the software even complemented the syncopations I played. And I guess this is just the start. Thumbs up for the software, Toontrack.

actually, I’ll change my rating to 6/10, the tap to find is useless, I tap but the dumb software takes 30 years to record the ‘tap’, with the result that the rhythm I played is changed into useless and incomprehensible nonsense. It seems some kind of latency. I am using a pro audio interface. Not impressed

that’s interesting, it works well in garageband but in reaper it gives the latency problems described

Try to Record Arm the track that EZD is on. That could make a big difference.
