Okay, I get why it’s so slow, but I record at 88.2, which is not very extravagant in today’s world. I can’t help wondering if your sales might not improve with a radical rethinking of your protocols (like maybe having the option to just load a kit, ’cause I hardly ever use loops anyway). I, for example, would be crossgrading to Superior at this moment…except for what I am sure would be a mammoth increase in an already barely-tolerable load time. I’m just sayin’. Zzzzzzzzzzzz….

Hi,

I take it you are referring to EZdrummer?
You are in fact “just” loading a kit and not loops. The Groove Browser and player is for playing back MIDI files, should you wish to.
Superior 2 upsamples on the fly and has completely different loading times at sample rates above 44,1kHz, compared to EZdrummer.
As an example, I just created a Logic Project in 96kHz and loaded a ≈600MB kit in 6 seconds with Superior 2. It took me well over 2 minutes to load the Default kit in EZdrummer @96kHz.
They are two different products for different purposes; one a light-weight songwriter companion, the other a full-fledged professional studio product. That said, there are pro’s using EZdrummer in their final products.

BR,
John

OK, good to know. Thanks, John. Are the drums in EZ Drummer (which is what I’m using) included in Superior 2? I’m really liking them, and plan to use Toontrack exclusively from now on. And can EZ Drummer and Superior 2 co-exist in one DAW?

Never mind, dude, I found the product page! I’m goin’ for it. Thanks again.

You can use EZdrummer inside Superior.
I sometimes work at 96Khz and Superior loads fast.

What do you mean by that?? How do you do it?

with EZdrummer installed, the core library, named ‘pop/rock’ will be available as per any other EZdummer set (EZX).

If you own and use Superior, EZdrummer and it’s expansions appear as sound libraries inside Superior, just like a Superior expansion (SDX).
