Libraries not Showing up in My New EZ Drummer 3

[fpalmieri]

I’ve had EZDrummer 2 for years and just bought a new Mac, a Mac Mini silicon with an M4 chip running Tahoe.  I upgraded to EZ Drummer 3 on my new Mac, but when I went to launch it in Pro Tools, it said I had no libraries.  I can’t for the life of me figure out how to change the path, the settings interface is completely confusing.  I tried to change the path (unsuccessfully), and now I can’t even find the “locate path” option on the hamburger menu, it’s replaced with a message that reads:  “To change the path quit EZ drummer 3, move the older in Finder, then use Locate folder”. I don’t even know what folder it’s referring to – EZDrummer?  Toontrack?  Sounds?  I know I have libraries because it took about 45 minutes to download.  I authorized everything.  I even tried the standalone app, but it shows the same thing, can’t find my libraries.  I also installed my EZ bass 2 on my new Mac, but that doesn’t even show up in my Pro Tools now.  So that’s an issue as well.  But for now, I really want to get the right path set for my libraries so I can start using my EZ drummer 3.  Please help!

Hi,

have you run any library installers on the new Mac? What does the Product Manager application tell you?
You should run the EZdrummer 2 Core Library EZX installer and the EZdrummer 3 Core Library installer on your new Mac. The EZdrummer 3 software is a separate installer.
AFAICT, those are the two Sound Libraries you have.

Thank you so much!  For some reason, I didn’t see any extra libraries in the Product Manager yesterday, but sure enough, they were there today.  I downloaded the EZDrummer 3 core libraries and they immediately worked in Pro Tools, so they’re obviously in the correct location.

One last quetion–you mentioned I could also download the EZ drummer 2 and library.  I see that in my Product Manager, and it would be great to do that and be able to still have them on the tracks I had recorded in Pro Tools before I got my new Mac.  But would that overwrite my EZ Drummer 3?  I don’t want to take the chance of messing that up now that it’s working properly.

Again, thank you very much for your prompt and helpful reply!

Hi,

EZdrummer 2 and EZdrummer 3 are completely different plug-ins and can co-exist on the same system. You will however need to start Pro Tools in Rosetta mode to load the EZdrummer 2 AAXas it is not Silicon Native.
