A little update of this issue.

I have been looking for a solution and somebody said that if you are running Reaper as an administrator, this can stop the drag and drop function working properly.

I made sure this wasn’t the issue and I discovered that using ctl+alt, you can drag midi FROM Reaper TO your desktop. From there you can drag the midi to Ezbass with no issue at all? If you try and drag directly to Ezbass, you get the cannot import empty file message?

Can your tech boys figure out why this is happening? Not sure whether this is a Reaper issue or an Ezbass issue? EZbass appears to recognises the file dragged directly from Reaper as a midi file but thinks it is empty and contains no information?

EZbass version: 1.0.6
Operating system: Windows 10

Drag and drop from DAW to EZbass works if the DAW allows it. As far as I know, I can’t think of one DAW that does. Pro Tools, Logic, etc restrict dragging from DAW to plugins. I don’t use Reaper, or well, haven’t since version 4.something so I can’t say for sure if Reaper allows it or not.

I record onto the Song Track from the DAW as you found. It’s not as elegant as it could be. I’m hoping as more plugins have a use for it, drag and drop from host to plugin may be implement. Alas, it will need to be implemented by the DAW creators

Thanks Scott.

It is odd, as Ezbass does recognise that it is a midi file but just thinks it’s empty?

As I said. I found out, that using ctrl+alt on Windows, you can drag the midi from the Reaper track to the desktop and then from there into Ezbass and there is no issue. That’s still faster than recording it in real time into Ezbass. Two drags instead of one.

Reaper being as customisable as it is, perhaps there is some setting I can change that will make it work. I will trawl the Reaper forums and if I find a method, I will post it here..
