Modern metal EZX samples are distorted. Help!

[chris cole]

I’ve purchased the modern metal pack and all the Will Putney kits included are super distorted. I have changed the buffer size which removes the distortion, but increases latency. Any suggestions?

EZdrummer version: 2.2.1
Operating system: macOS Sierra (10.12)

Are you running it standalone or within a DAW? If the latter are there are plugins and virtual instruments running at the same time?

Could you provide the machine specifications? (RAM, CPU, etc…)

Running it stand alone with no DAW open at the moment. running on an IMAC 2014 with OS 11.2.1, 1.4GHz Dual-Core Intel i5, 8GB memory 1600MHz DDR3. Thanks for the reply!

edit: I can use the toontrack kits from the EZX pack with no problem, just not the Will Putney ones

I just used an app called clean my MAC and let it do its thing and now it works. Im assuming i has some things running in the background using up too much CPU. Thanks for trying to help.
