I gotcha. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before I am on to Superior. (Drummers are just so unreliable!!)

thanks again for all your help.

It’s not really a question of knowing my computer’s passwords. There are none. I’ve never had passwords on anything. When I look in the control panel under “users” it shows my name and describes that account as administrator and there are no other accounts listed. In other words, I don’t use a password to log onto my computer. but in order run a program as an administrator it shows a dialog box that asks who you want to log in as… on the top it shows my name and account which is selected as default, below that you can check the option to run as “the following user” which then gives a drop down box with “administrator” or “xpuser” both of wich also have a text box for entering a password. I’ve tried them blank and with generic things like “admin” or “password” and they all bring up an error message about bad password. But again, the account under my name which I CAN start Cubase with is listed as an administrator.

I have changed the setting as you show in the attachment with the exception of the export and import marker selections because those do not appear. then I shut down and restarted Cubase and there was no change.

Let me try the exporting method….

Hey, All right! I think that works. I think I did it backwords because I already had the multi channel set up so I had to rearrange the new midi track with the old but it’s good. This is a good option too because it lets me compose the drum track the way I had been used to in an instrument track (or 2 or 3) and then just export the whole thing as you suggested when I’m done. Very nice.
Not to be too much of a pain, but is there a way to then convert all of the drum tracks into audio when I am all done that can be manipulated just like any other audio track. That would be cool.
Anyway, thanks for all your help, I cannot get over how amazing EZD has been to work with.

Thanks again,

When I select “run as administrator” it asks for a password. I don’t know of any passwords set up for my cubase.

When I drag from the instrument track to midi I get null sign.

Hey Scott,

I have plenty of songs for which I have created drum tracks with EZ by right clicking and selecting “add instrument track” and then selected EZ as the instrument. I now know how to get the multi out working for mixing but it doesn’t work with instrument tracks it only works with midi tracks to which you assign a VST (like when you press F11). Since I already dragged all the patterns that I wanted for drums into the “instrument” track I thought it would be nice and easy to just cut and paste from that track to the new “midi” track with the 8 outs underneath it for all the separate drums. But Cubase doesn’t seem to let me do that.

Putting that aside, my next option was to drag from the groove list in EZ to the new “midi” track (which I am going to need to do from now on anyway). But that just keeps spawning new tracks. I did the unchecking of the “auto dissolve” as mentioned before in the forum but that didn’t work. I cannot log in as an administrator because it requires a password and I do not have one that I know of.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Douglas

Hi,

I am having the same problem with drag and drop. I have recently learned how to set up EZ with separate tracks for each drum (which is really phenomenal, BTW) but now I cannot drag grooves into the new VST track. I set up on a midi track, not an instrument track, I unchecked ‘auto dissolve’ etc… in fact, I tried just about every combination in the Import options until they are just all unchecked now. I tried the log in as administrator but it asks for a password. I haven’t a clue what to do with that. I already have an instrument track set up in the same project with EZ running there and an entire drum track already programmed. I would also love to be able to copy and paste from the instrument track to the midi track but that may be an overreach. I will gladly re program the entire song if I can just figure out how to re-drag and drop everything.

I am running Cubase Essential 4 on a PC with XP.
Thanks for any help,
Douglas
