hittman1885,

Please start only one thread with your question. I’ll leave this one here as it is in the correct forum but I’ll remove the others to keep replies from being missed in the various other threads.

I use Cubase 4.

I load EZdrummer as a VST instrument in the VST rack. I create a MIDI track and select my MIDI input devise in the ‘MIDI IN’ on that track. I set EZdrummer in ‘MIDI OUT’ on that track. I click the monitoring button on that track and hit my Zendrum (my MIDI devise). I record away.

If you have a specific host you are working with, please post more info.

Please include what you have tried. For instance, have you selected your MIDI interface in your host? How do you have your DM10 connected to your computer? Is your host receiving MIDI from your DM10?

In addition, which version number is displayed in the EZdrummer interface?

How long have you had the Live trial version installed? I think I read somewhere that after 30 days it starts shutting off some of the basic features.
I guess if they didn’t do that no one would ever pay for the software.
BUT – I’ve never really used Live. I do have a free version of it that came with one of my controllers or something. I also haven’t used a Mac for ten years so I won’t be very helpful, I’m afraid.
I just thought I would mention the limitations of the trial version. (If I remember correctly)
It’s worth consideration.

why are you not updated all the way up to the current version, 1.3.1? It should not have anything to do with your problem, but running a (fairly) outdated version is not particularly useful.

Anyhow, in Live, as in many hosts, you have to record arm your track to designate it as a signal you wish to record. I believe you must have that enabled otherwise you would not hear the drums when you hit them, but if not that it the last control on the mixer channel in what they call the Session View selector. Then you not only have to hit record, but the play button as well to get the ‘tape running (in record mode)’.

Keep in mind I am not a Live expert, and your question would be best directed to Ableton, but I thought I would mention the very basic steps required in case the problem is that you are unfamiliar with your host. I assume there has to be, even with the Live demo, documentation available that would enlighten you much further than I can… but who has the time to read these things 😉

I can help you. Can you help me with my issue?

HI : I am a newbie on this forum. I just bought the Alesis DM10x on Tuesday. I printed out the midi layouts for my fav kits that I bought for EZD2 (EZX). Unlike SD2 there is no way to change the midi #’s or note names to match up on the DM10 module. I can go into the DM10 module and change them, but some of the triggers are set to the GM #’s and note names. How can in detail get the kits to works when I am recording in PT11. I need a detailed fix for this problem. a video would be helpful as well . Thanx in advance. mike@lakeviewwebdesign.com

How do you get a drummer to stop playing? Put a chart in front of him. ha ha ha
