Cakewalk by BandLab

[Scott Robertson]

EzDrummer has worked perfectly up to today.  I can open EzDrummer, select any sample and I hear them just fine.  However, after choosing a sample, I then drag it to the track I want to use it in but I don’t have any audio (can’t hear drums) on this track.  The track is armeda appropriately, ect.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Scott,

you are using the original EZdrummer (1), right?

Does it work in Toontrack solo? Or do you have any other host to try than Bandlab?

Hi, installed the Bandlab update from today (1/31/2020) and EZdrummer disappeared, reinstalled it from Toontrack Product Manager) and got it to appear after I reinstalled 32 bit (previously I ran a 64bit only setup), but no sound get out of it. Will try to reinstall the whole thing including Cakewalk.

Tried to reinstall both Cakewalk and EZdrummer, it shows in the old bitbridge interface, it lost the vst3 apparently

The standalone 32 and 64 bit versions do work properly

EZdrummer version: 2.1.8
Operating system: Windows 10

OK, the default path for 64bit VST is the one used for vst3, and latest build doesn’t like that. Force the install to somewhere else like C/Program Files/vstplugins and it should run fine

With the 2020.01 release of Cakewalk, VSTScan will not scan folders (in Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3) that don’t have the vst3 extension.  Thus if your VST dll’s are there (EZdrummer.dll, SuperiorDrummer3,dll, etc) are in that directory, CbB will no longer see them.   Not sure if there’s an easier way to tell EZdrummer, SD3, EZMix, etc to move those DLL’s beyond running the install again.

Hi,
you do not want to move any Toontrack plug-in .dll files post install. That causes troubles sooner or later. The correct way is either to Custom install the plug-in file to a desired location or to point your host to the location of the .dll file.

Really, the question is, how do these now get this installed to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2 ?

Re-running the installer for EZMix (since it’s the lightest weight), I only get the option to install to the C:\Program Files\Toontrack where it’s installing the executable and operation manual.  I do not get the option to change where it installs the VST2 dll (EZMix.dll)

If you Uninstall EZmix2 first, then run the latest installer again, you should be able to Custom install the VST plug-in.

Tried that, and it only gave me the option to install the app.exe and operations manual into C:\Program Files\Toontrack.   There was no option to change the where the DLL’s are installed.
