Use Midi Beat in EZ drum2 has measure added when dragging to PT12 Inst Track

[Ron Ackermann]

When I make my own 1 or 2 measure beat in EZ2 I put it into the user midi file. Then, when I drag it into PT 12.4 it gets added an extra blank measure…i.e… 1 measure loop becomes 2 measures with second measure blank. Or,…2 measure loop become 3 measures with 3rd measure blank. Sounds fine and looks OK in EZDR 2 but why is this happening?

Hi,

IIRC, this has been happening for a long time with Pro Tools and I think it has to do with the last note off being close to the boundary of the measure end.
Just crop it in Pro Tools, I do it right away when it occasionally happens. If the multi Tool is active, it’s literally a 1-second operation.

Thank John,
I thought maybe I was doing something incorrectly. I tried this while instantiated inside pro tools and also while EZD2 was in standalone mode. I know it is easy to trim the last measure when in PT but just surprises me that this happens. Does the same thing happen in superior drummer? I love the EZD2 but I also like to make my own beats for tracking. e.g. just need a kick drum or simple time keeper beat til it’s time to fine tune.
Thanks
Ron
