Hi All
I’ve been asking for some Rockabilly Grooves for a long while now. The original grooves should have been included in the “Trad Country” EZX, which was very disappointing. Toontrack got the sound of those kits in Studio B perfectly, but the grooves are nothing like you’d hear on those early and traditional country records. We need some of those low velocity grooves. Rockin’, but not being smashed. Simple fills and some proper “traditional country” grooves, played by a traditional country drummer. Early Rockabilly sounds should be included in that EZX, and/or in the add on pack, which is very limited.

Texas style Country, or “Ameripolitan”, including Western Swing, Bluegrass, Rockabilly and Cajun beats, needs it’s own EZX, as does Modern Rockabilly (70’s onwards) and yes, we gotta have a stand up kit. “Slim Jim” will surely do the EZX grooves for that.

I’ll sit here waiting, with my credit card. And, yes, Toontrack, there IS a rush. It seems to have been “Rock Month forever! 😀

Thanks. I did that in the end but, it was not easy to navigate for someone who’s never had to do it.
why can’t you just have some simple customer service contact info. A straightforward email address, a phone number, or a live chat, with humans at the end of it.
For what Toontrack charge for things, and as much as I love the products, the customer service should definitely be better. I’ve never had problems with my products, just the sales and accounting side of it, and it’s THAT department that is hardest to get a hold of!

Thank you. I’ll give it a go.

I’m having the same issue. There are extensive options for all things ROCK, but ALL Toontrack software seems to overlook a LOT of roots music and more subtle styles. I play a lot of traditional country, 50’s rock ‘n’ roll, blues and rockbilly. They have the kits in there, sounding great too, but no “wires off” option, which is essential IMO, and also they have used modern drummers to create the loops who clearly have not listened to how drums USED to be played.
PLEASE TOONTRACK, look after your loyal users. I have 120 Toontrack products, and this very basic stuff is STILL missing.
Not everyone is a Rock and Metal player. How about “Country Month”, or “Rockabilly Month”?

I’m having the same issue with EZD3 in Logic. For some reason, whenever I hit the crash at the start of a bar, it chokes instead of ringing out as soon as I go back to the hi-hats. Never had this issue with EZD, EZD2 or SD3.

I’m not having any issues myself but, a friend of mine, who I recommended Toontrack products to, is. He’s bought EZMix2, download and installed it, installed Mastering I and II, but is being told that he needs to update EZMix2 before he can use them. He’s ALREADY got the latest version. He uninstalled and reinstalled, but gets the same message.
Why are people suddenly having these issues. Toontrack MUST address this. I feel bad for recommending this to him now.
