Okay. I uninstalled ALL Toontrack plugins including my EZDrummer and reinstalled to the proper folders. Both the ezdrummer and EZMixDemo.dll files are now in the VSTPlugIns folder where they belong. I will not be installing the 64-bit standalone versions.
I decided to try another demo plugin to see if I get any similar errors. I downloaded and installed EZkeys. No problems whatsoever. And just like EZdrummer and EZmix, it also installed the .dll file in the Plug-ins folder.
Also by removing the EZmixDemo.dll file from the /Plug-Ins folder the EZmix standalone program no longer works. It needs that .dll to execute the EZmix.exe program.
Yes. There are three files in the DAE/Plug-Ins folder. EZmixDemo.dll EZmixDemo.dpm and EZmixDemo.dpm.rsr
EZ drummer has these three files installed in the Plug-Ins folder as well.
Thanks John and and Scott for your replies and help. I went through trashing the prefs and database and after I rebooted I didn’t get any errors. I also couldn’t find EZmix2 in the inserts/plugins. I looked inside the /DAE/Plug-Ins folder and only the EZmixDemo.dll was there. I re-installed EXmix2 Demo and it put all 3 files back in the Pro Tools plugin folder but now I get the error message that I started this post with. So in other words nothing has changed. My registered EZdrummer continues to work flawlessly. Anything else we could try?
I deleted the 64bit program and installed the 32bit one and now when I launch PT I get this error: Pro Tools could not load the following plug-ins either because no valid authorization could be found, the iLok key was not connected or the plug-in was damaged: EZmixDemo.dpm
I then removed EZmix2 through control panel and deleted any lingering files and emptied my recycle bin and rebooted my PC. I then downloaded a fresh copy of the demo and re-installed EZmix2 and I still get the above error message when I start Pro Tools.
My iLok should be fine because PT wouldn’t work without it and also my EZdrummer is still working.
Effects? By that do you mean inserts/plugins? If so I can’t find it in there. The EZDrummer plugin is under instruments in the insert drop down but EZMix 2 is nowhere to be found. Am I looking in the right place? I can’t find any EZMix files in my DAE/Plug-ins folder either.
When I launch the EZMix 2 program in windows it shows the file path to the VST3 folder and not to the Pro Tools plugin folder.
