Glenn Stantonyeah, wifi is a strange animal – technically each “sub-channel” has a maximum speed and they simply multiplex many subchannels to get to the total throughput. then depending on your hardware, many times a single CPU core is allocated to the network transmissions and on home users, the IO to the disk is a single NUMA channel. Ethernet on the other hand , is also limited to roughly 50% (on a single connection) but there is no arbitrary multiplexing going on so it tends to be more consistent in throughput. and some hardware can directly use DMA hardware on the Ethernet (whereas wifi boards have a different routing — more like USB internally). some devices can use multiple CPU cores (even if only a single NUMA is available) to process the network communications which if your IO and disks are fast enough will significantly improve performance and perception.
in general a modern computer (say last 5 years) should be more than fast enough in networking — but at the end of the day – you’re still limited by your neighborhood network and WAN + internet routing restrictions and service quotas…

Glenn Stantonmany (many) companies use bandwidth quotas to “spread the love” as storage and download (traffic) costs can be very high. direct, Amazon, distributed cache etc all have different abilities and price tags for a company. so it’s not too surprising the download speeds are consistently lower than people might like. i have 1.2GB connection to my home router and 50GB local network backbone speeds. and many (did i mention many?) sites where i download products (NI i’m looking at you!) have quotas which reduce downloads to dial-up modem speeds or at most 1-2mbs (=100-200Kbs)
so. i just get on with other activities while downloading things, stress kills. fwiw — companies providing these downloadable products would probably save money by simply mailing you a DVD LOL.

Glenn Stantonmaybe copy the events, create a new track and set the key, paste. then remove the original track

Glenn Stantonglad to hear it. sometimes if you’re installing on a machine with a cloud service (like OneDrive or Google Drive etc) it can lock files as well as it tries to synchronize them. and sometimes a program gets stuck in memory with a file lock and just won’t let go. 🙂

Glenn Stantondiskspace? other activity on your device while installing? maybe reboot and start again to makre sure something isn’t running which is locking a file it’s trying to read?

Thanked by: Scott EshlemanGlenn Stantonchanging keys in a song with EZB within a track is not currently an option (using a key change setting like in EZK). so i’ve found the only two ways to do it – one is to create a new track with a new key (and as a note i tend to always set the BPM and key and meter before i start adding the chords and midi on a new project), or simply write out the chords i nthe new key (manual / mental work plus i’m not sure if the replace MIDI using the grooves would behave the same as having a new key set – i guess you could compare across tracks).

Glenn Stantonit’s also possible they’re in “netscape mode”. many companies trying to get bought will perform very few updates and at the same time do a lot of marketing and sales drives to get numbers up in hopes of being bought out and getting that nice pay day. at the end of the day, many smaller businesses, the owners at some point like the idea of acquistion by a larger company freeing them up to pursue other business or hobbies.

Glenn Stantonon the song key selection the main list shifts the key, on the bottom is an option for no transpose. this affects the entire track. which for a single track project is the entire song. each track can have different keys.

Glenn Stantonso when you try to reinstall EZB, it tries to use your L drive or your C drive? my understanding (because i’ve always installed in my content drive from the start) is, if you move the C drive content to (say) your L drive, then starting EZB will ask where the content is. presumably the re-install will fix the program issues, and if you have existing content in L, then make sure to remove the C drive (if it goes there) content to force the change of path. yes, not pretty but easy enough imho. https://www.toontrack.com/manual/ezbass/9/#9-7-the-ezbass-content-on-your-file-system

Glenn Stantonjust point the content path to your existing content rather than the default. for relocating the content (and checking) see this FAQ for moving libraries for all product:
https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-move-my-sound-libraries-expansions-to-an-external-drive/
on my system some app i use their content location settings, and others i use directory junction for mapping to allow me to put all the content on a “content” drive.

Glenn Stantondepending on your DAW, you might copy and edit an expressionmap or articulation.artmap to add the brushes… 🙂 then maybe share it 😉

Glenn Stantoni’d look into the:
https://www.toontrack.com/product/vintage-rock-ezx/
https://www.toontrack.com/product/uk-pop-ezx/
https://www.toontrack.com/product/singer-songwriter-ezx/ (just for the variety of kit)
possible a mix of these will yield something very close to the kit you want.

Glenn Stantonhttps://www.toontrack.com/product/roots-sdx-brushes-rods-mallets/ — actually this is SD… but presumably they could leverage some of this for an EZD expansion…
meanwhile you have some expansions:

Glenn Stantondid you use all the default settings? ___or___ did you customize the paths to samples and VST? if the former – i’d try to reinstall it. maybe some permissions were blocking it? if the latter, then you need to adjust the settings in the standalone (and possible the VST?) and in the VST scanning for your DAW.
i’m using W11 Home – never an issue installing any of the TT products or extensions via the install manager.

Thanked by: Scott EshlemanGlenn Stantonso after you encountered that, then you set them to use different MIDI channels – channel 1 on the keyboard and EZK, then ch 10 on the TD27 and EZD? (actually you can set EZD and the TD27 to which ever channel you want as long as it’s not the same as the keyboard and EZK… but traditionally, ch 10 is drums and percussion)
