Well, I’m not sure where you are getting these numbers from. I’ll grant you mine is an old machine, and if you want to tell me the reason why this is happening is because my hardware is not up to the task, then I’d say you need to make that clearer on your product requirements page, because I have no problem running SQL Server 14 on this laptop along with about ten other programs all at the same time.

Be that as it may, however, this machine has 2 GB of DDR memory, and about 995MB of that is used up before I load anything else at all. On the other hand, that does leave over 1GB of memory available. When I load EZDrummer, however, it only consumes about another 200MB, so I’m not sure where you are coming up with a 1 GB requirement for the program.

I suppose the fuller explanation is that I’m still not very happy with the absence of any pattern development or editing capability within your program, so I’ve installed Anvil Studio and loopMIDI to turn your EZDrummer program into a downstream slave synthesizer. So Anvil can load your .MID files and play them back thru EZDrummer, and most of the time the hits will work, but every once in a while, it buzzes. The whole environment is toddling along at 1.5 GB of used memory, leaving 500 MB lying around for whatever else needs it, which is apparently NOT EZDrummer, because the memory demand remains flatlined at 1.5 GB.

Then I go back to the EZDrummer interface, bang on a few drum heads and randomly get buzzes instead of drum hits.

So I’m sure you’re going to tell me that whatever I’m doing is simply too advanced for my computer or your software or whatever.

In the mean time, it still buzzes and I don’t have a reliable method for coming up with my own customized drum pattern variations.

I’m still not sure why this is an improvement on simply using Acid Music and using all the various .WAV files out there for this kind of stuff.

Ok, sorry. Weird upload interface on this website. Didn’t realize there were so many things involved in making it happen.

Definitely 32-bit. And it’s the full product installer.

And version number displayed in the interface…hmm…wow…there it is…could you make this any smaller? Or perhaps simply put it on the About screen? Looks like it says “version 2.0.2 32-bit”

Never heard of buzzing? Well, try this MP3 I just recorded using Audacity while attempting to play Modern Vintage/Straight 4 4/Fills/Variation 6…

Operating system: Windows 8.1

EZ Drummer II – whatever version is being downloaded this week…I just got it on Friday…

Audio device? Whatever kind of hardware is standard on a Del Inspiron E1705 laptop…had no problem with lots of other stuff including Steinberg and all those VSTs…
