Johnbee1I recently switched from Cakewalk to Studio One. I tried moving a keyboard MIDI part into EZ Drummers Bandmate for suggestions and it didn’t work. I even had the PIN applied on EZD. What am I doing wrong. This always worked in Cakewalk.
Thanks

Mick AvoidantYou’re doing nothing wrong. Studio One won’t let you drag MIDI into any Toontrack wares. Export the track as MIDI and drag it into EZD from the export folder. I do all of my editing in SO.

ShootieOn PC launching Studio One as Admin may help. Also a lot of Studio One PC users have Melodyne installed, and they can do this. On Mac? Don’t bother trying to figure it out, I assume.

Running as admin doesn’t work for me, and I’ve got Melodyne in Studio One Pro.

Thanked by: Heath JefferisShootieGotcha. I hear a lot of mixed results from Studio One PC users, which is why I mention it.

Bear-Faced CowWith all due respect you may be confusing this with ARA, which is what Melodyne uses. There are a handful of DAW‘s that don’t support drag and drop Audio onto a plug-in for various reasons ranging from the way the audio is handled internally within the DAW to the various functions within the DAW itself.

ShootieI get it. I’m saying I hear people claim this.

The only problem with this is my PC has an SSD and those have limited write cycles, so if I have to export the MIDI out of the program and then back into it my SDD isn’t going to last very long I fear.
Thanks for the info. I wish Presonus built the ability to move MIDI between the editor and the instruments like Cakewalk does.

Get a small flash drive, maybe?
Bear-Faced CowYes, your drive will degrade in about 20 or so years from the write cycles. I wouldn’t worry about it. Even with the degradation factor built in they will still outlast mechanical drives by a long shot. I have flashcards that I use with my DSLR’s that are over 10 years old and still going strong. And that was with old technology. SSD technology has come along way, and if your data is backed up to the cloud, there shouldn’t be anything to worry about it all. As well, the price of SSD‘s are coming down and with black Friday around the corner you should be able to pick up a Crucial SSD drive and enclosure for peanuts off of Amazon. I have a bunch that I use for audio and video production, as well as storing my ToonTrack libraries.

Well that’s great to know. Some of these people (especially on YouTube) make you think that if you write more than 5 instances of data a day your SSD will wear out in a year! So, mine is already 3 year old so that cuts it down to 17 years. By then I’ll be 86 years old. Even if I’m still alive I doubt I’ll be making music this way by then.
Hey, Thanks for the info BFC!! : )
Bear-Faced CowWouldn’t be surprised if the YouTuber had a cheap Amazon knockoff. Aside from the flash cards mentioned above, I also have a couple Crucial drives that I have been using for over decade.
It was a problem when they were new. It didn’t take long to fix it.

Yep, when you could upgrade RAM in Macs, Crucial brand is what I used exclusively, since 2008. Same for external SSD, (SATA and m.2). And ya, Studio One and Pro Tools won’t let you D&D midi from a timeline to a plug-in directly. I don’t know whether this built into vst3 and aax specifications or designed into the daw. Were you using an older version of Cakewalk?

Heath JefferisHey Guys
I currently have S1 pro 6 on Win 10 and could definitely drag n drop audio and midi into it maybe a year ago (I could have had version 4 then..it’s a blurr) but now I cannot. Defs a bug they need to fix I reckon. Everything is updated & all Presonus’recommendations for Windows have been done – everything else works a treat, so it’s all a bit weird!
BradHi there,
If we could break the problem into 2 it might be easier to trouble shoot.
1) you can’t drag audio from a Studio One track to Bandmate? If so, this is a problem however I am able to d&d from a track to Bandmate, wonder if it’s a Windows issue ( I am on Mac). I tried on S1 V6 and the new V7. What happens when you try to drag and drop audio from S1 to EZKeys 2?
2) You can’t drag MIDI from Studio One to Bandmate? Yes this is the same for many DAWs (Pro-Tools for one). You have to drag the MIDI to your desktop (or some folder in the Studio One Browser) and then select it within Bandmate. I don’t see this changing as it’s written into the code of the DAW to allow or disallow MIDI directly into a plugin

Bear-Faced CowAccording to a couple of sources, Studio One went from 32-bit floating point WAV to a 64-bit audio which probably is some internal format. Either way, it is not a bug.
if you were able to drag and dropping the past, then you were lucky
