EZ Drummer or Solo

[badtothebonne]

I purchased EZ Drummer from Guitar Center they sent me a disc. I installed it and couldn’t find the program. I did the update still nothing. Then it downloaded Solo. I could get into the program but it doesn’t seem like its the full program. I can’t find any phone numbers to call to see what I did. I’m new at this please tell me what I did wrong. Thank You

Hi,

EZdrummer is a plugin and you need a compatible host to load it in.
Toontrack solo is Toontrack’s own host program to load Toontrack plugins. I.e. Toontrack solo can load the EZdrummer plugin.

In your Toontrack account, you have access to the EZdrummer Full Product Download (big red PC or MAC button) and the EZdrummer 1.3.1 update. The latest version of Toontrack solo is also available.

To be able to record MIDI and/or Audio, you wlll need another (compatible) host program (DAW), though.

BR,
John

The guy at Guitar Center told me it was a whole program and you had to have it and you could load the other toon programs in it. I got Solo to work but can’t find EZ Drummer as it says on the box anywhere even after loading update. You would think these guys would know what they sale. What are host programs Thank you.

How do you intend to use EZDrummer? That is, as a drum machine in Cubase, Sonar, Pro Tools, etc, or do you intend to use it as the sounds for an electronic drum kit?

The former requires that the EZ Drummer vst dll (Windows) is in the VST path your host (Cubase, Pro Tools, whatever) is configured for. Mac is similar but I don’t have details. The latter requires and electronic drum kit with a MIDI connection to your computer and Toontrack Solo. You could also instantiate it in your host as well, but Solo is more lightweight.
