EZDrummer 3 Bandmate question!

[hughythomas]

Hiya,

I’ve been using EZD3 for about 2 years pretty much every day in the studio.

All of a sudden, when importing audio into Bandmate, I am seeing a completely different view to what I’m used to. In the past, it would give a ‘Rhythm match’ % which was great as I could audition different grooves in sync whilst Logic Pro was playing back the track(s).

Now, I’m presented with a different screen (attached screenshot 2) that I’m not used to and I cannot seem to audition grooves as easily.

As an example, attached screenshot 1 shows the kind of view I’m used to (from EZKeys) that USED to be the same with EZDrummer 3 until yesterday. I’m not aware of any updates to the software it just suddenly switched? Probably a good reason for this but I’m wondering if I can get the original view back (as per screenshot 1)?

Thank you in advance!

Operating system: macOS Sequoia (15)

Screenshot 2 is what I’ve always seen in EZD3 Bandmate.

Match % is from Tap2Find. Not from Bandmate. Bandmate looks the same since when it was released unless I’m missing a detail from what you’ve mentioned. Your Original View is from EZK, Bandmate has always been different than EZD’s.

Hi chaps,

Yes I’m aware the screenshot I linked was from EZKeys but I was simply trying to show you what I’m used to in EZD3 (as describing it would have been difficult).

I’ve never seen the browser like this in Bandmate before – it’s always looked like it and now all of a sudden its switched to this cumbersome view without easily being able to audition specific grooves whilst synced to the track. Its incredibly annoying!

The Bandmate tab in EZD3 has always looked like that since release in  2022.

You may be confusing Bandmate and Tap2Find.

This is what the Tap2Find search results look like in EZD3.

The Bandmate play button has never been able to follow host. The Song Track, Grooves Tab, and Tap2Find do. Bandmate never did. “% match” never existed in EZD’s Bandmate.  And as for all of the sudden, we’ve been on EZD 3.0.6 for a while now. Nothing has changed recently.

I’m sure a Toontrackian will correct me if we’re wrong.

Yes this is how it appears to be although even my client yesterday remembers us sitting here on session for hours going through previewing different grooves from the bandmate tab with the view I had before on it in EZD3. I’m really confused!

Bandmate in EZKeys still has the normal view that I’m used to…could this have been a bug for my EZD3 potentially? I’m not making this up I can assure you all – I work professionally full time as a music producer in UK and am certainly no stranger to EZD3?! On a M2 Mac Mini, Logic Pro 11.1.2, OS 15.3.1 if of any relevance.

Where I’ve outlined in blue: have you tried auditioning them by clicking on them, with the yellow-outlined play button clicked?

Based on your screenshot you might have confused Bandmate with the Replace MIDI functionality. That has a similar look to the EZ Keys that you are describing.

The one stone left unturned. Nice, Jord!
