@Glenn Stanton, post #3259691…Your explanation may be valid…it’s still pretty lame that a company that sells product and makes a good profit off it…but is too cheap to provide sister download sites worldwide, and better speeds to service customers quicker.
So no matter where you are, you have wait for downloads to hop through endless connections before they get to you…or they have intentionally chosen not to pay more to provide better speeds…both “excuses” are unacceptable.

I bought 3 SDX packs…and it’s going to take me 3 days to download them…like WTF, Toontrack!?!?
I’ve got hundreds of Mbps download speed from my network provider, for which I pay…but Toontrack only pays for us to get 2-3 Mbps.
How truly cheap and lame.

Considering that others have complained various times about this…I’m sure my complaint will fall on deaf ears too.
I love the products, but Toontrack constantly seem to not care about this kinds of stuff, and all they worry about is their profit margin.

Two years later…and my request for Orchestral SDX came through!

Now…if they would price it more reasonably and LESS then what I paid for the entire SD3 application…that would be nice. 🙂

I’ve suggested an orchestral sample pack a couple of times in years past…glad to see someone listened! 🙂

I just prefer the way it sounds from the drummers perspective.

When you listen to music…how do you know if the drummer is a righty or a lefty…?
That  would completely change the whole drummer/audience perspective debate.

TBH…if you guys want more editing options…SD3 already has them.

I think for there to be an EZD3 version that is still simpler to use than SD3, but that it has SD3-like capability…is somewhat of a contradiction.

I think people who want more editing should just bite the bullet and move over to SD3…and you will never look back at EZD once you’ve gotten a bit comfortable with SD3.
You don’t need to dive into ALL the options of SD3 at once. It will do all of what EZD does right out of the box…and then you can dig deeper into SD3 at your own pace.
IMO…EZD is really just a stepping-stone to SD…and for those folks who simply don’t want to go deeper, they just stay with EZD.

It’s a nice thought…but every time someone tries to make a be-all DAW…it usually sucks….plus, you then have no options, either you use it all or you move to something else.

I like that Toontrack is mainly focused on the drums. I know they also have EZKeys…but it’s not anything like SD2 or SD3 on the drum side.
I EZKeys is more like EZDrummer…a nice song starter setup, but that’s it.

Anyway, I just think the drum stuff will do better if Toontrack sticks with them primarily.
Heck..there’s already dozens and dozens of DAW options out there.

Exactly…you have to download all the updates for all the SDX packs and install them for them to work on SD3.

The only SDX update that I had issue with (and I think the devs are aware of it) is the “Custom & Vintage” pack. The update doesn’t work…it won’t run correctly…but once you unzip it, you can manually copy over the contents of the update, and replace the old C&V folder contents on your computer….and that worked.
There’s a thread about the issue with the C&V update describing the workaround..etc.
