EZ Drummer 2 Audio Unit not available in either Logic X or Ableton Live 9

Hi there,

I just bought and installed the latest version of EZ Drummer 2 but it’s not showing up in Logic X (version 10.3.2) or Ableton Live 9.7.4 as an Audio Unit plugin.

I am running the most recent version of the plugin – 2.1.4 – but it only works as a standalone or as a VST inside Ableton – I need to use it inside Logic X which only supports Audio Units.

This is really frustrating, I’ve wasted over 2 hours installing and re-installing to no avail, and detailed Google searches shed no light on the problem.

Any help with this would be much appreciated – I’ve wasted enough time faffing about already!

Cheers.

Hi,

please do the following:

1. Download the Full installer. Open it but run the Uninstaller.
2. When Uninstalled, re-run the Installer and make sure you click the ‘Customise’ button during install to confirm that the AU is checked for installation.
3. Run the latest update(s) and same here, click the ‘Customise’ button to make sure the AU gets installed.
4. Open the Standalone to confirm it works as expected.
5. Clear the AU cache, as per this FAQ: https://www.toontrack.com/faq/ezdrummer-no-longer-works-with-logic/
6. Reboot your computer.
7. Start Logic

BR,
John

Hi, I’m using Ventura 13.4.1, Logic Pro 10.7.9, and I’ve tried everything in this post, but nothing’s working. Is there an update on the process to get EZ Drummer 2 to work on newer systems? I’ve tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting, and nothing’s working. I even tried clearing the cache, but that didn’t work either.

Hi, are you running the M1/M2 processor?

EZ Drummer 2 has been discontinued for some time now and is no longer being updated. EZD2 does not have Apple Silicon M1/M2 native compatibility so depending on your DAW, you must run your DAW in Rosetta mode in order to use EZD2 (Right-click the Logic.app in the Finder – Applications > Get Info > Open using Rosetta)
