EZ Drummer Only passing snare drum audio occasionally.

[ndaudio]

I have EZ drummer 1.3 running on my MBP running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. EZ drummer is not behaving normally in any DAW, Logic, PT, or GB. When I click on the snare drum, or any of the other drums within the EZ drummer window I don’t hear anything. The only time when I hear any sound is when I continually hit the snare drum, and then I hear an occasional sample. I never hear a sample every time I hit the drum. I’ve checked levels in the EZ mixer and have double checked that my levels in my DAW are up.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

at what sample rate and Hardware Buffer Size is this?
Please take the time to fill in your system specifications in your profile and/or signature.

Best Regards,

44.1 24 Bit. Buffer size is set to 128.

Are you running Logic 8 or 8.0.2? The former was pretty buggy IIRC, so it would be a good idea to update to 8.0.2 if you haven’t already.
The same would go for PT 9 -> PT 9.0.2.

If you load EZdrummer in Toontrack solo (make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version) instead of your other hosts, does it behave as expected?
You do have a visual confirmation in the plugin interface that you are running EZdrummer 1.3.0?
This behavior is with the Digi002, I presume. Is it the same if you switch to your internal soundcard?

John, DAW’s don’t seem to make a difference in terms of using EZ drummer. I encounter the same problem in Pro Tools GB, and Logic. I made a video of the problem. Here’s a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjmz72Ehjh4

Hmmmm….that video clearly shows that EZdrummer isn’t loading the sounds. You only have 1 MB loaded, like if you only had installed the 1.3.0 update. Did you install from DVD or did you use the Full Download Installer from your Toontrack account?
You get no complaints from the plugin that it is missing the content?
