ez drummer and Logic Studio 9

[Dino]

I’m having a difficult issue with my software. Ever since I installed EZ drummer when I quit logic it hangs, I haven’t installed new software on this computer in quite some time. I decided to un-install it now Logic doesn’t hang anymore when you save and quit the session. However I realized based on what I’ve read in my account information I only have 4 installations of the software? What happens if I cant fix the issue? oh help 🙁

Pertinent information

OS X 10.6.5
Quad Core i7
Stuff I have installed (I pay for my software):
Toontrack Drumtracker
BFD
Celomony Studio
Celemony One
RMX
East West Ivory
Drum Maxx
Kontakt 4
Guitar Rig
The Blue Cat Audio Suite
Steven Slate Drums EX
The Eddie Kramer collection
PSP Vintage Warmer

That’s it, I don’t have billions invested in software but with Logic I find I don’t need as much. I couldn’t imagine an AU bug with another program but who knows.

Thanks you in advance

Regarding the four installation limit, I believe (I know it works this way on Windows and I don’t believe it’s different for a Mac) that you should be fine re-installing it to the same machine (assuming the same hardware/network configuration) — that will still be one install.  And technically, it’s a two-machine activation limit (so long as both machines aren’t using the software simultaneously) and a four authorization limit (if more authorizations are needed, as far as I’ve seen, requests to support are taken care of fairly quick).

Regarding the hang, I’m afraid I don’t have any advice to give.  Giving a wild guess, I wonder if it’s just taking some time to unload things from RAM?  Or is the hang permanent?  Does it matter whether you have any instances of EZdrummer actually loaded, or was simply having it installed enough to cause your issue?  Another random guess… is the VST installed along with the AU?  I’m just wondering if it’s trying to read the VST the whole time Logic is open, and still trying to when it should be closing.  From what very little I know of Logic, it doesn’t support VSTs?  Wish I could be of more assistance. :-/

I’m running 16GB of Ram on this machine at the moment but I think after 10 Minutes it should have unloaded and shut down. I also have to force quit Logic which is much like a ctrl + alt + Delete on a Windows machine. It does only display the behavior when I have EZ Drums loaded as a plug in saved in the session. I was tired last nigh and unauthorized both of my pieces of toon track software on the website which this morning I’m thinking wasn’t a very bright idea, live and learn. Logic doesn’t support VST or VSTi’s so I’m thinking that’s not an issue but who knows. OS X does support them on other DAW platforms the same as it does RTAS and TDM. I think I’m going to hunt down all the PL lists in the library that have anything to do with EZ drummer and delete them before I re-install. Wish me luck 😀

IIRC, authorizing with the same computer ID (again, assuming the hardware/network config is the same, I’m fairly certain the computer ID will be the same) does not use up another activation — just reuses the previously inactive one, so I think you’ll still be okay there.

And for the rest of it… good luck! 🙂

Hi,

I’m running Logic 9.1.3 in 32-bit mode here with EZdrummer 1.2.1 in OS 10.6.5 with no problems.

What are your exact version numbers of the very same?

BR,
John

The complete reinstall of EZ and DFH solved the problem. Sorry I didn’t chase the problem down for a solution, I just want to make music. You know how it is 🙂
