Okay, so this problem happened with EZ Drummer Demo, and support assured me it’d be solved after I installed EZ Drummer real ($$) version. It wasn’t solved.
Sometimes the drums simply don’t play. I have to toggle the VST off then on, or click the track and make sure the window is visible. When I export the song, sometimes I get drums, sometimes I don’t!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSpSAp5CrUc at 3:27 you’ll see I start to play my song. When it gets to Measure 9 (the second black number – I know it’s hard to read because it’s tiny) the drums are supposed to come in. Watch as it fails over and over.
3:45 I toggle the VST and the drums play
3:50 I play again to “verify” that they will play – they do
4:00 They fail again and I say “oh my god, dude” because it’s so freaking annoying
5:00 I finally give up and copy everything to the midi track, but now the drums are doubled!
5:28 I set the track volume to -3db as a sort of hack to make the volume level right. This isn’t a fix as drums are doubled and cymbals have phase issues etc.
I can copy the midi data out of EZ Drummer into my midi track, but then it plays doubled (in the VST and in the midi track). Which makes me have to delete the sequence out of EZ Drummer. This sucks because I can’t drag midi blocks into EZ drummer from ableton (another problem) in order to edit them with the EZ Drummer interface.
What is the deal here? Anyone experience this problem? This is making me regret my purchase!
