Don’t know if they do or not now. Back when I first asked about this issue, I got a reply directly from a Toontrack tech. Who informed me that they were “working” on that. But as you know it’s been years with no results. To bad.

I had asked about this a long time back as I have 172 TT products that have to be updated one at a time. It was an extreme pain when

I had to change out a HD a few years back, as well as when I purchased a new comp. last summer. I wish they would hire someone to

do the work if they lack the know-how.

Don’t know about Windows machines but for Macs that’s possible especially if the stuff is not on the system drive. Get a good cloning program. I have clones of everything – system drive, samples drive and sessions drive. Good as a safety thing.

Thanks for the reply. I think since I haven’t put anything else on this drive (internal SSD), I will give it a shot. It would be so worth it to me.

Yes, I am in agony with 140 products to redo on my new machine. Really need a better system Toontrack. My other stuff is all 1 button for all updates and downloads. This is stone age crap in the 21st century.

Hey, thanks. I will check out your advice.  I think part of my issue stems from using EZBass, and EZDrummer3. The way EZB is set up, if I have 8 bars of midi keys that I drag over and drop it in keys and drums, the chord structure stays in the same key when I drag the bass notes generated to the timeline of EZB. Then the grooves audition in the correct key and stay correct if I replace the original midi bass notes with the new groove.  In EZK2, the midi dropped into bandmate is the correct key for the example timeline, and when auditioning the different grooves it generates but when I drag it down to the track it changes to whatever key the default of the software is. I then have to set the correct key by hand. Just seems like an extra step that other EZ programs don’t do.

Quick update: I found the core library for EZdrummer 3. In the product mgr, the left side last tab is titled uninstalled products. After clicking on that tab It was listed as an EZX .

Operating system: Windows 10

Same issue EZdrummer 3 core library not found after installation. Installed the new product mgr first then updated everything the mgr said was needing to be updated. Opened the program in my daw and got the same picture as above to download the core library.

That took care of the issue. Unsure how it happened, but I have an idea that when I first installed the program I used a different drive. But I had a windows crash and reinstalled windows and all of my software. This time I let it install in the default location which was the C drive. I must have failed to erase the original path and when Cubase scanned it picked up the older.dll

Thanks again for solving it.

Hi Scott, “Has the ezdrummer.dll been moved or copied manually since it was installed”? No, it has not. As to why the plugin shows different I don’t know the reason. Like I said the stand-alone ver. is fine and loads the Gospel EZX just fine. The product mgr. software shows everything as up to date as well. I am just lost as to what the problem is with the plugin. All other EZX’s work fine on the plugin as well. Also this information was taken from the stand-alone info:

I have set up a ticket already. Thanks.

Same issue here. Song runs from bar 1 through bar 91. Export as audio stops at bar 50 every time. Unsure what to do about this.

While recording a bass line with a recorded midi piano part playing EZBass causes the average load and real time peak levels to spike into the red, This causes snaps and pops, and recording of the bass line stops. I’m using Cubase 10.5 Pro and my buffer is set to 512 sample rate at 44100.

OK, it is 8-28-20, and I am still having the same (even worse) issue with EZBass and the  extreme spikes while using the product in Cubase 10.5  pro. It has gotten to the point that if the software is loaded but nothing has been recorded to it, any other VSTi that is loaded will overload as soon as you try to record.

The only way to prevent this is by not adding an EZBass track to the record window. Which makes the software useless. I have submitted ticket to support

but no one has come up with any answer. I hope someone can and will respond as I hate paying for something I can’t use.

Yes sir it says 1.0.2. I may have solved the issue I was having. I removed the EZbass software from the computer and restarted the computer after completely shutting it down. I next reinstalled EZbass but this time I used the default instillation location. Which was to my C drive. Due to space limitations I try to keep as much as possible off that drive and had installed it in my D drive with all my other VSTs, effects, and recording software except Cubase which is on the C drive.

After the software was installed I did a reboot and then opened the stand alone EZbass. I left everything on the default settings except changed to ASIO and still using the Focusrite ASIO driver.

Sample rate:44100

Buffer Size: 256 *

*I left this set to the default as I had tried it at all the higher settings before and it still popped and crackled.*

Clock: Internal

Clock Status: Locked

After this I played EZbass from my midi control keyboard and no issues found.

Next came Cubase 10.5 and a new project loaded. I recorded an 8 bar midi piano part using EZkeys and copied it over to EZbass I used the drum and keys function and added the bass line to the EZbass timeline. Played both parts and sweet mother it had no problems with crackles. And the audio meter in Cubase showed normal values. No stress. So I wonder if there was some issue with installing the software on the other larger drive? It’s not causing a problem with any other Toontrack products being on there nor any other VSTs.  I will see how it goes moving forwards. Thanks guys.

I tried the 1024 with the same results. And the audio performance meter in Cubase is showing extreme peak overload. When EZbass is deleted from the track it barely moves. None of the other products show any movement in this meter.
