Oops!! Correction:
I see that there are 3 Producer Preset packs available for the following EZDrummer sound libraries;
Metal Machine, MetalHeads, and DFH.
I do not see any Producer Presets pack for the Indie Folk library.
That said, there are a couple of EZMix2 packs that can be applied to your drum tracks, be they EZDrummer, SuperiorDrummer or any drum session you’ve recorded.

Could someone recommend the best products to mix my drums?I’m about to mix an album and I’ve used The Indie Folk EZX on 10 songs and the Allaire Kit on New York Vol.2 for the two other songs.
Would some producer presets work for the Indie Folk? Or any EzMix pack in particular?
Thanks, Andre
If by “Producer Presets” you mean those listed on the SuperiorDrummer product page ( http://www.toontrack.com/superior-line/ ),
then, No, they will not work with any EZDrummer expansion sound library. They are only for use with SuperiorDrummer libraries,
and I believe that each Producer Preset pack is designed for a specific SuperiorDrummer sound library.
In other words, the Producer Preset titled, “Metal Foundry Presets – Andy Sneap” will work ONLY with The Metal Foundry SDX and nothing else.

Hi. Yes, I’m selecting the My Products section – the top right pull-down menu.
You probably just need to expand the My Products page to [Show All] of your products.
RAR?? assuming that you mean ZIP file.
how big is the downloaded ZIP file? it should be 2.35 GB.
If the download completes and the size looks correct,
please try another ‘unzip’ program or the “Extract All” option in Windows Explorer.

At the moment, I maintain a spreadsheet of Toontrack products and which of those I have purchased (having fallen foul of buying the same thing twice). Periodically, I end up going through the site to add the new products.
It would be nice if the account had the option to download a spreadsheet, listing all products, whether you have purchased them, date and the serial number.
Keeping track of what midi files / ez mix expansions etc is a pain without it
It’d be even nicer if the Products pages indicated those which you’d already purchased,
or minimally display a warning if purchase of a registered product is attempted.
I’ve seen this process incorporated in other webstores.
As I understand it, Toontrack sorted thru their 88,000 existing grooves, labeled or tagged or did whatever they did that required me to update the Toontrack grooves already in my possession (released prior to 5-5-2014) so that EZDrummer2 can do its sorting, filtering and searching. I do not work for Toontrack but I think that I can safely say that there is a presumption being made that there is functionality or a module of sorts embedded in the EZDrummer2 software that somehow does automatic cataloging of the MIDI grooves loaded therein and that this hypothetical module is purposely excluding non-Toontrack grooves.
The aforementioned MIDI updates included standalone MIDI expansions and the MIDI that was included with EZX’s and SDX’s alike. (see attachments)
The timing of these updates coinciding with the release of EZDrummer2 would seem to be for no other reason than to implement
the labels or tags that allow EZD2 to ‘do its thing’.
That is not to say that Toontrack didn’t possibly use some kind of tool to do their labeling & tagging. I don’t know.
There might also be an issue with incorporating such a tool within EZD2 while also keeping the plugin/app’s footprint as light-weight as possible.
IF it exists, perhaps Toontrack can release such a tool as a free-standing, ancillary utility that we can apply to our user-created and 3rd-party grooves.
I hope so. I own a lot of 3rd-party grooves, have altered a lot of Toontrack grooves and created a fair amount of my own.
