    What does the routing in the mixer page look like? Is everything set to 1? Or are the multiple outputs active? Have you tried rebooting your computer?

    Scott,
    Thanks for replying. I just resolved this in the last few minutes and came back here to update again. In the mixer, everything is set to 1 for now (once I get deeply into a project I assign individual tracks, but not till the drum parts are all final).

    I rebooted and that had no effect. What was really weird was that even when I shut down Pro Tools and opened the standalone, the problem was still there.

    Finally I reopened the project in Pro Tools (nothing from EZD2 has been dragged over yet: I’m just going through the plugin interface in PT). I deleted the insert for the plug-in and then reinserted and everything was fine.

    It’s really weird because I’ve used the same PT template for several projects and it has Studio Blues loaded as my default. Also weird was that when the problem was still going on I reopened a PT files I finished mixing yesterday: I was very worried that all the drums would be messed up because of this. But that wasn’t the case: the Studio Blues kit played fine. I closed that file and reopened the template file and no go: all I had was kick.

    After that I deleted and reinserted the plugin and it was fine.

    For the record, can you tell me this: If you do choose the “Restore Factory MIDI database,” am I correct in assuming that you lose your presets? I have several custom kits and lots of MIDI data saved in the User MIDI section. I am assuming that if I did have to do this kind of factory restore, I could restore my presets from a backup of my Toontrack folder, right? (I am obsessive about backups and have two backups of everything on other drives.)

    Hi,

    presets will not be deleted, nor will User MIDI. It’s just the MIDI Database that gets restored.

    Thanks, John.
    Any idea as to why this situation of drums being muted happens? I reopened the same template, which I had not resaved with the original name: Until I deleted and reloaded the plugin it was the same situation (only kick).

    Hi,

    not without you sending me that Template to have a look at.
    You can ZIP the .ptx file and attach it to a post here.

    BR,

    Thanks, John–don’t want to waste your time. For some reason it seems like that instance of the plugin was misbehaving, but it seems resolved now. Thanks.
