Hi,

though installing the latest (currently EZdrummer 1.3.2) version of EZdrummer available in your Toontrack account will solve some stuff, the fact that you’re using a seriously outdated host (DAW) will still be the biggest problem.
Even Sonar Home Studio 7 XL is discontinued and AFAIK not Windows 8 compatible.

Best Regards,
John

I have a similar problem, except that I am using the latest version of EZDrummer and Sonar X2.

In my case, the Soft Synth loads up, I get the EZDrummer GUI, can even select the kits I have purchased. What I see though is 0MB loaded. I get no sound at all. EZDrummer works fine with Toon Tracks Solo 64, so I have to think it is some combination.

My setup is a Behringer Xenyx1204FX with USB UCA200 in. I can hear recorded wave files through the monitors on the Behringer (USB out to channel 7/8), but not the drums I am laying down.

In addition, I am using Windows 8 x64, Sonar X2 x64 but the Soft Synth comes up as ezdrummer (32-bit)

Thanks

Found out one part of the fix. I needed to rescan my VST folder. Make sure that C:Program FilesVstPluginsToontrack is in the VST folder and rescan. That will provide the 64-bit version. I still have no sound, but at least the soft synth is loading (see memory being utilized in EZDrummer) and that’s a start.

Your screen shot shows 1.3.1 but it should be 1.3.2.
Have not run the 1.3.2 update? Only the 1.3.2 64-bit?

BR,

Now that I loaded the proper 64-bit VST, it loads properly, but when I drag a sequence in, it still doesn’t have any sound.

where are you dragging the sequence to? We do not have enough information to know what you are doing wrong… depending on the options you select in the ‘Soft synth Options’ dialog then there could indeed be no sound at all, if not properly routed in Sonar.

I suspect the problem is with my lack of knowledge around setting up a DAW.

This screencap might help out. Probably this is a Sonar question more than a Toontracks one. I have done multiple searches, but so far no luck!

the track you should drag the MIDI to is the last one down… check this https://www.toontrack.com/support_portal.asp?prod=EZdrummer%20and%20EZX%20expansions&issue=Operation&ID=805 that may clarify certain aspects.

Aha

I think I have it! Messing around enough and something good may happen.

Here is what I did when I selected the soft synth.

I’m not a Sonar expert, but I’m guessing this is a ‘custom view’… this won’t give you separate outputs however, which from your screenshot I had assume you wanted. Or maybe it will (I don’t have Sonar here to check).

You’re right, I don’t have multiple outputs, which I need to have. Still messing around with this, but it is definitely not a Toontracks issue, but a Sonar one. If I stumble on the answer, I will post it here so that others can benefit.

One question is about Mapping, I am not sure how this is done – but again, that’s a Sonar question, but if anyone has done the mapping for DFH and Metal Machine, that might be helpful.

Here’s a video from the Support Portal FAQ on how to set up multi outputs in Sonar

I have to send out a huge thanks! Despite this being clearly a user knowledge problem, and with Sonar, the support has been phenomenal!
