Hi, I just Alt/Option+Click the plugin in the Channel Rack to open it Detached and they stay that way until I close them.

Hi,

thank you for your interest in Superior Drummer 3. While the Tracker in Superior Drummer 3 was designed for replacing drum sounds where they are recorded separately, you can get good results with just a file that contains the whole kit. Bare in mind that it highly depends on the nature of the file; quality, compression, how busy the playing is, etc.

Drums are always easier than Hi-Hats and Cymbals in such files but again, depends on the input material. You can always add/edit Triggers manually

Simple solutions are the best!

On a sidenote; the ‘Wrap’ option is intended for creating seamless loops where you want FX bleed from the end of a loop into the start of it. The Render will start right before the end of the Song/Playlist selection and then continue from the start which doesn’t work when you have your MIDI on the EZD3 Song Track with ‘Follow Host’. For the ‘Wrap’ option to work with EZD3, you need to have the MIDI in a pattern/the Playlist.

Hi,

are you 100% positive that you are referring to the Product Manager Application and not the web interface (My Account)?

Hi,

in the Rendering Window, please change ‘Wrap Remainder’ to ‘Leave Remainder’.

Hi,

have you done any manual moving or copying of files?
If you enter the EZdrummer 3 Settings > Libraries/Paths, where does the Sound and MIDI Libraries path point to?
If you navigate to that location in the Explorer, is there something there?
Does the Product Manager app show the EZdrummer 3 Core Library as installed?
Do you get the same error message when starting the EZdrummer 3 Standalone app?

John

Hi Patrick,

even if you would use up an Auth more than intended in this case, you just contact Toontrack Support or write here on the Forum to one of the Tech Advisors and we will help you free one up when/if the need arises.

Hi,

if you have the MIDI dragged from EZd3 to the Fender Studio track, Disable the Input MIDI Preset map in EZD3, since it will real-time transform incoming MIDI according to your Strata Prime map.

Hi,

EZdrummer 2 and EZdrummer 3 are completely different plug-ins and can co-exist on the same system. You will however need to start Pro Tools in Rosetta mode to load the EZdrummer 2 AAXas it is not Silicon Native.

Hi,

have you run any library installers on the new Mac? What does the Product Manager application tell you?
You should run the EZdrummer 2 Core Library EZX installer and the EZdrummer 3 Core Library installer on your new Mac. The EZdrummer 3 software is a separate installer.
AFAICT, those are the two Sound Libraries you have.

Hi,

Brad’s right on the money; if nothing is on the Ableton Live track, Live sees it as an empty track and not render anything.
Having your MIDI start on Bar 2 on the EZD3 Song Track and adding a e.g. rim click on Bar 1 will render a Bounce in Place with a Waveform. Freezing the track will not render a Waveform, whether the MIDI is on the Live track or on the EZD3 Song Track. The former will simply show the MIDI notes and the latter will look empty but play back audio.

Hi,

there is a small issue with the Drumit5 MIDI Preset but it’s only that the Edge Trigger is mapped to Tip Trigger.
Your other problem is puzzling; have you remapped any notes in your module or tweaked the Drumit5 MIDI Preset?
Real to Reel and Drumopolis will both support left and right hand hi-hat playing with the Roland VH-14 hence the Left and Right trig but that needs to be set up.
The default settings with any e-drum preset will just trigger the right hand version.

Hi,

how are you recording? Directly into EZdrummer 3 or do you use a DAW?

If the latter, which one?

Which module are you using and how is it connected to your MBP?
