The RockerWell StratCat51, it’s true EZD3 does not write over EZD2. So you can keep both installed.
Also, if you are on Windows, then I can offer to assist you with your concerns. I’m not a Mac guy, though I can get around fine on Mac.
I know Windows OS, and help many get up and running.
I use Studio One DAW, so I am known in their media / forums for getting people up and running. I don’t charge, just help, lol.
Whether it’s OS, bad parts, or upgrade system and parts, DAW or plugin issues, we can figure it out, and help you choose what’s best for you.
I just built this system, I understand the crazy state we are in lol.
There is no Messaging service on this forum, so facebook or email can let us start 😀

Thanked by: Stratcat51The RockerDoes it show the location paths, for both audio and midi ?
You on Windows or Mac ?
The RockerHi, that seems normal to me. Browser sounds like youtube and all other programs should be using system speakers.
If you want EZD3 Standalone to work through the interface you would choose it in Audio I/O.
With interface on of course, and Studio One not open. Only one program at a time can control the interface.
Most use the plugin in the DAW rather than standalone, since you have Studio One 😉

Thank you for the confirmation Brad !!!
The RockerHi Brad, yes I’m wanting to install on my new build.
Also avoid AAX as I don’t use Protools, and select sample location. Which hopefully happens during the Core3 install. lol
I understand the Sample move, most apps allow to designate sample location from the menu. I use 6 drives on the new computer, and had 5 on the prior computer which has worked great for over 10 years now lol.
And I’ll be keeping it up for quite a while yet. I always leave the computer with its software lol. Thousands spent lol. I just build another and install current stuff in use. Eventually I won’t get on the older one, so I’ll retire it properly in case I need to use it.
This post explains better what I’m looking for. Actually just posted a process a little bit ago. Probably start in the morning.

The RockerTHat’s Vintage look reissue,,,

Hi Phenix 2, curious why you say rest in piece to all those EZX’s ?
The Presets for EZD2 should be, or are in the Core 2 EZX installer I thought.
– might be you need to reinstall the CORE2 EZX available in the PM.
or
– Might be you kept your EZD2 in tact, while install of EZD3, so EZD3 does not use the same library folder as EZD2 ?
I would be surprised if all of EZD2 did not carry over to EZD3. Though I read they are working on User Preset / Kit to follow.
The RockerThanks Warren, I was re-reading the forums since you brought up PM handled the Upgrade from EZD2 to EZD3 just fine.
That led me to needing to understand how we had to do the EZD1 to EZD2 upgrade or fresh install. This is what I understand:
My concerns:
So if my research is correct, to install Toontrack EZD3 Upgrade, without Installing EZD2, on a new computer:
Seems so straight forward I’m going to proceed. Might be why there is nothing similar to my concerns in the Forum lol.
The RockerThat’s odd, The EZD3 install does affect the system Audio I/O’s.
Have you restarted the computer since install? Likely a yes, lol.
How many or which interfaces or audio drivers are you wanting to use ?
To start,
Right click the speaker on the Task Bar, and choose Playback Devices.
What shows as Default ?
Usually most use one Driver/Interface and it is set to Default. I myself use 2 Drivers for 2 different speaker systems.
One for all OS audio, and one for just DAW.
The RockerYou’ll want the Core Install, it has all the percussion, drum parts and kits that come with EZD3.
I’m searching the forums to find how to get all the kits since EZD1 for a fresh install on a new computer I built.
I may need to send a ticket lol. Silly though, this should be easy to find. I like one time installs, so I’m stuck for now.

Thanked by: JKNThe RockerAlso, if I have something I don’t want, such as bloatware, I remove it asap…
The RockerEZD2 and EZD3 are seen as different programs on the system, as well, as from a DAW project. Both should be able to point to their own Library location, but I can not verify yet, lol.
When you try to open a project that is using EZD2 Application, it will look for EZD2, not EZD3.
EZD3 can not replace and load an EZD2 project.
We can Import EZD2 project (.ezdp format) into EZD3, from the Menu of EZD3.
But know, after Import to EZD3, it will not open again in EZD2 after that. (Maybe keep a backup of the original EZD2 .ezdp file until verifying import success.)
So,,,
If we want to use EZD2 used on an old project, we need to leave the EZD2 Application installed.
If we just want to use the EZD2 Core kits in EZD3 from now forward, that comes from the EZD2 Core installer. We can leave the CORE Installer without keeping the EZD2 Application, from what I understand.
I’m needing to fresh install on my new computer build and can’t find the info on how to keep and install everything from the first version of EZD.
Cocktail Kit, and a few others I believe are from the Core installers. But I can’t find the info to verify, or the procedure of fresh install from EZD1 lol.
I’m actually considering moving my EZX’s from my Win 8 pro system to this new build. I just hate to be a test bench for something that should be easily found info. But it’s not! lol
The RockerHi, apparently we can uninstall the EZD2 Application, but need the Core Installer for EZD2 which is the largest file between the Application and Core Installs.
If you do not want the Kits from EZD2 then you can uninstall the Core Install of EZD2. All the EZX’s will run in EZD3.
Doing the above removal of EZD2 will not be replaced by EZD3 when trying to open an older EZD2 project. Your Song will be looking for the EZD2 application. Since EZD2 Application and the EZD3 Application are seen as there own program.
The RockerHi Bxcowboy, Thanks for the reply, some programs require the full purchased version, to install an updated version. Old practice, but sometimes still use it.
Also, after further reading, some mention the need to install EZX’x that were version specific with both EZD1 and EZD2. Seems so far, we need to install those versions to authenticate those particular EZX’s. INstalling EZD2 before EZD3, and EZD1 before EZD2 if EZD1 was the full product purchased (not an upgrade).
I imagine the purchased EZX’s will instantiate just fine once install.
I like a clean one time install lol. Otherwise I dive into the registry to clean it up. Also I like to avoid that when possible, even though I can fix anything computer concerned, lol.
Be great if they have it so I only need to install EZD3 on this computer. It’s just built and updated.
So I need to know if I can simply install EZD3 although some are having major issues. Likely user misunderstanding.

Thanked by: BxcowboyThe RockerMore than likely it’s about code… and expense, mainly consumer expense…
And as it is now, drive space and data speed really is not an issue,,,
2 products for 2 types of users, that encompass all users in between,, remarkable actually…
I’m fine with EZD2 and it’s less expensive EZX’s and the ability to utilize SD2 capabilities from a EZD2 to SD2 Upgrade,, you keep EZD2 and well, midi is just midi,,,
Sure they can still improve on a great product, and as I’m sure they know, they will,,,
44.1k or 48k … in general most would not know the difference since it’s finished usually in mp3, and at best 44.1k anyway,,,
And sure for the professional image can be written higher even with Studio One … but it still pops out to be mp3 or 44.1k to the consumer.
This sort of topic is speculative, and sometimes controversial,,, which is why it’s really not useful to us users, in a forum,,,
All pie in the sky, until it can hit ya in the eye 😉 lol,,,
Have fun 😀
