Yes I just had this. Solution was to download and reinstall the original Nashville and then after installing run the newer update.

I see you tried that but it 100% worked for me. Maybe you missed the (slightly hidden) install button.

Phil, I just went through this myself although I had figured out that I should reinstall the Nashville EZX. It worked like a charm. Goodonya bloke!

Hi Scott,

I’m now able to report that all is sweetness and light with CbB and EZD2

The animated EZD2 GUI works, the kit can be changed on the fly, and I’m happy 🙂 It was resolved by installing the latest version of CbB 2019.12 Build 26 as advised by DeeringAmps over at the CakeWalk by Bandlab Forum.

Does it do the same thing with EZD2 standalone? In another DAW? If not it’s a cakewalk issue. If so, it’s a system issue. That is all I can think of at the moment.

Hi Scott, the EZD2 standalone works fine, the hits are animated, and changing the kit via the drop down menu works as expected.

In Cakewalk Sonar 8.5.3 EZD2 works perfectly, animated hits and changing kits on the fly both work. Clearly there’s something amiss with the EZD2/Cakewalk by Bandlab combination that no one can seem to solve at present.

Thanks for your input.

I recently installed Cakewalk by Bandlab (CbB) and I’ve run into some issues with EZD2 in CbB. The EZDrummer GUI no longer shows the animated hits on the various parts of a kit, it’s like looking at a static picture instead of seeing the dynamic hits I’m used to seeing in Sonar 8.5 when a tune is playing.

 

Also, I can’t seem to get the drum kit to change if I want it to, let’s say from Blues Kit to Vintage Kit. It’s really easy in Sonar, just click on the drop-down menu in the top RH corner of the EZD GUI and click on a different kit and it loads. But not so in CbB, even though the drop down menu shows the name of the new drum kit, the GUI and the kit don’t update, and neither do the samples.

 

I have also posted this problem in the CbB Forum, but so far nothing has been resolved. Scott, I know your are the man who can solve this issue – or at least, I hope you can!

Hi Scott,

Once again you have proved to be a fount of knowledge and helpful in the extreme. I do have Pop/Rock EZX in my account, and I have downloaded it. Thanks for your assistance..

[EDIT] And it works just fine. It’s good to get the cowbell back – although I notice now that my other EZX’s also have a cowbell tucked away in the shaker options. [/EDIT]

Hi John, I’ve uninstalled EZD1 and performed the re-installation of EZD2 and EZXs with updates as you suggested and there were no error messages.

Thanks for your patience and help.

John, I have EZDrummer1 already installed. I purchased the upgrade to EZDrummer2 and downloaded the zip file. I successfully installed EZD2, then in my account section I noticed there were downloads available for the Pop & Rock Kit EZX and for my Nashville EZX. It was the upgrade to Pop & Rock EZX kit that gave the error message “Your library seems damaged. You will need to reinstall the full product before applying this update”. I just need to know whether I have to reinstall EZD1 from the DVD or just the last update, which was TT106_EZDrummer_WIN.zip dated 24/07/2011, or should I retry the P&R EZX upgrade?

I don’t appear to have either TT288_EZX2_PopRock_WIN_151.zip or TT288_EZX_PopRock_WIN_152.zip downloaded from your site. I must have missed those upgrades when they were released.

Thanks for the reply John, but that was the download that caused the error message. I’ll download it again and see what happens when I re-install.

OK, thanks Dave. I posed the question here after doing the same over at the CW Sonar Forum. Similar conclusion, I’m afraid; can’t be done.

I see I’m a Junior again. How bizarre is that? Look when I joined, 08/30/2006, I’ve made far more than seven posts, I can tell you!

Find a groove that’s reasonably close to what you want, edit the groove until it’s EXACTLY what you want, copy & paste…

Are you hearing drums or some other instrument? If you ARE hearing drums, is the tempo completely different to the groove you auditioned or are you hearing different parts of the drum kit being played? Unfortunately, your description of the problem is vague.

Anyone have a good site to learn some tapping licks? It seems to be the one thing I can’t really find much on…

Marcus, I’d much rather hear music played with feeling than to be blasted by a blizzard of notes. Mate, you don’t need to learn tapping, leave that to Steve Vai.

Dan, when you tried dragging & dropping the grooves, did you have the Snap To Grid function turned on?

In Sonar, Edit>Select>All
Then
File>Export>Audio
You can select a location where you want the audio file to be saved, as well as the bit depth and sampling rate. Sonar converts your drum tracks  and other MIDI tracks to audio on mixdown.
 
You can select By Time if you want to (to convert just part of the tune to audio) and you can mute tracks during mixdown too if you want.
