ezDrummer 2 Standalone does not load

[Dimitrios Theologitis]

Hallo guys,

 

Since November 2018, I cannot load the standalone version of ezDrummer 2.

On the Tootrack Mangaer I downloaded the (Full Product installer) Version 2.02,  the Update 2.1.8 and the sound library update for windows Version 1.1.1.

I am using Windows 10, 64bit.

I already posted a topic in November, but did not get an answer. ( https://www.toontrack.com/forums/topic/toontrack-ezdrummer-host-2-has-crashed/)

Is there anyone here that has any suggestion?

Greetings

Hi,

I have looked at your dmp file now and it doesn’t show any more than that it crashed in the ASIO driver, C:\Program Files\M-Audio\Fast Track Pro\MAudioFastTrackPro_Asio64.dll. Check if there is any update available for that.

This Command Prompt command will enable you to start the 64-bit standalone so you can select a different audio device:

reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Toontrack\EZdrummer\Host64 /v AudioAPI /t REG_SZ /d "Windows Audio" /f

Hallo Olof and thanks for the response.

Unfortunately the the audio device “M-Audio Fast Track Pro” updates have being discontinued. I have already the last update installed.

This Command Prompt command you sent me:

reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Toontrack\EZdrummer\Host64 /v AudioAPI /t REG_SZ /d "Windows Audio" /f

did not enable me to start the 64-bit standalone so I can select a different audio device. I still get a crash dump.

 

Do I have to change/edit the command in any way? Sorry I am not familiar with programming…

 

Thanks in advance for your time!

BEST ANSWER

It’s possible that it crashes already while audio devices are being scanned for, in which case the only thing that helps is to uninstall the driver. But first please run the following command and send the results (screenshot or copied text):

reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Toontrack\EZdrummer\Host64 /v Audio*

It verifies if the previous command was correctly executed.

Hallo Olof,

How it looks the command was correctly executed, but the problems remains:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.523]
(c) 2018 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Odysseas>reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Toontrack\EZdrummer\Host64 /v AudioAPI /t REG_SZ /d "Windows Audio" /f
The operation completed successfully.

C:\Users\Odysseas>reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Toontrack\EZdrummer\Host64 /v Audio*

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Toontrack\EZdrummer\Host64
AudioOutDevice REG_SZ Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO
AudioAPI REG_SZ Windows Audio

End of search: 2 match(es) found.

I will deinstall the “Fast Track Driver” and try to load the EZdrummer.

Deinstalling the “Fast Track Driver” did the job!

I could start the App, changed the audio device to a different one, reinstalled the  “Fast Track Driver” and now the Standalone Version runs as expected.

Thanks a lot for the help!

 

P.S.: It could be great if the app could still run/load, even with an unsupported audio device, so that the audio preferences can be changed from inside the app.
