Bear-Faced CowIf your snare is defined as the power hand, the tendency is that paste on selected groove will replace it with the hi-hat as it is a power hand. What you might want to try is selecting your groove and then select Groove Parts and drag the hi-hat from there onto your groove.

Bear-Faced CowMy USB-C SSD Drive and and my thunderbolt SSD drive get around the same loading time of 7 to 10 seconds on a 20 GB preset.
In your Library/Paths settings do you have all of your libraries set for SSD?

Bear-Faced CowRight now, go to File/Save as…. and look where it puts it.
You didn’t save a preset. You saved a Project. Projects and presets are two totally different animals. Projects are user documents that are in fact song related, ToonTrack would be no more responsible for them as much as Microsoft is not responsible for where you save Word documents. Your user presets are drum annd mixer configurations that can be used in any project and are under a limited control of EZ Drummer since they are saved wherever your preferences as they are managed by EZD. You are in total control of your projects and not EZ Drummer. Your own screenshot demonstrates that. You could have selected a different location to save such as the cloud. Even more so you could’ve, and probably should have, chosen to have Time Machine, save your user documents. You should have also saved your drum configurations as presets and not projects if you intended to use them in various projects.

Thanked by: rixa and BradBear-Faced CowYou might have a corrupt settings file (or registry entry) as you shouldn’t have to be resetting anything every time you start S1. I would start there.

Bear-Faced CowDoesn’t sound like a ToonTrack issue. You must have changed it at some time in the Library/Paths tab in the settings. My settings are still at default and point to the Application Support folder in my user directory.
Perhaps it would be best to set it to a cloud directory so that it is always backed up.

Bear-Faced CowYou’re not being specific enough. Need more details as to how you are using it within your DAW. That will allow us to help you better.
jord
Bear-Faced Cowif it sounds good in standalone, but not in your DAW then something is different within your DAW. How are you using EZD within your DAW?
jord
Bear-Faced CowThe easiest solution in this case is to go into your MIDI/E drums settings and create a map and use these drum grooves within your DAW. When you want to edit these groups within SD, record them in and then use either the grid editor or edit play styles.
jord
Bear-Faced CowIt all depends on the instrument. The multi-outs typically consist of a close mic’d channel, two types of ambient channels, and a noise channel for things like hammer action, and pedal release (in the case of the piano).
jord
Bear-Faced CowThe Fazioli is a very resonant piano. You’re probably picking up a sun of the resonances from other keys. I checked individual keys in the surrounding area using a constant MIDI velocity, and isolated, there was no significant measurable increase.
jord
Bear-Faced CowSelect the OH channel in the Mixer tab, and you should see all of the kit pieces that are feeding into it. You can adjust their bleed volumes to suit your mix.

Thanked by: Scott EshlemanBear-Faced CowApollo 8 also came with TB3 cards as well. It’s moot anyways because you can get a Thunderbolt 2 adapter. My Apollo Silverface and satellites run this way without any issue. Even as such, there is plenty of horsepower. The only time bandwidth becomes an issue is if you are hooking up a monitor onto the same Daisy chain.
jord
Bear-Faced CowThe Apollo and Satellite are fine. Unless they are TB2, all you need is a TB cable. We don’t need to worry about FireWire connections because the no Apple Silicon unit has any.
jord
Bear-Faced CowActually, you don’t need to install both if you want the sounds and MIDI from EZ Drummer 2. The Product Manager, sees the EZD2 core library as an EZX. However, if you have project files from EZD2, then it is best to install both.

Thanked by: Scott Eshleman and ShootieBear-Faced CowDespite the fact that the system has plenty of horsepower, I still agree with Jack as far as setting up SD with ProTools. But I will say outside of this is that if the OP is finding it inconvenient to do things the way we prescribed, then perhaps it is a DAW workflow issue in that the workflow is incompatible with what the OP wants to do. In that case, OP should be using a DAW that matches their workflow aspect.
