Hey Scott, I have a small clip of the guitar track I’m wanting EZb to analyze.  When I tried to contact the Toontrack support, it only allows me the option to send them in these formats: .jpg .jpeg .png .gif .tif .tiff .mp4

I have attached the MP to this post.

I’m using Logic X 10.5.0

Why would they not accept MP3s?  That seems goofy.

Thanks for the help.  I’m trying to send the zip file but it’s too big.

Is there a way I can just go back to before I tried to update? At this point I’ll take the occasional midi not not playing. To say I’m a bit freaked at where all my plugs went is an understatement.

I followed the instructions and sent the listed file to the trash can. I then opened Logic and it asked to do a scan of the plugins. After it game me the same warning window about incompatible plugins and asked me if I wanted to run “Audio Units Manager”. I allowed it to do so and now all of the plugin except the “Apple” plugins are missing and cannot be opened. At this point a bad situation just got much worse.

So Scott, how would you go about a work around?

[jerry Jaborek]

Ok, this will be more of an accurate question. I like the “Dirty Rock” preset on the EZDrummer 2 Vintage kit but I need more of the toms.

If I select the Standard EZDrummer 2 modern kit (more toms) and go thru changing all the kit pieces to the EZD2 Vintage kit pieces, can I somehow still use the “Dirty Rock” preset found under the EZD2 Vintage kit presets???

Thanks

ORIGINAL: Scott

Personally (not speaking for Toontrack) it is damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you were to include mostly pop/rock MIDI with the initial EZKeys release, as you suggest, then those users working in other genres would complain. If, as TT has done, they included a wide variety of genres with the MIDI included with the initial release, users complain that their specific genre of choice isn’t properly represented.

I think its pretty clear from Toontrack’s previous releases that there is a ‘general’ MIDI content included with the initial release, then, subsequent releases that are more genre specific. For example, there are no ‘blast beats’ included with the S2 Avatar MIDI but can be had in separate MIDI packs.

…yes, I’m waiting for the blast beat EZKeys MIDI pack…

Sounds like the new Pop/Rock EZ KEYS MIDI that was released recently (today?) – for $29 – might be right up your alley re: more options than the limited MIDI it originally comes with. I know having to pay for additional MIDI at this stage – isn’t the best solution (it would have been nice if this library had been included in the original release), but … still … it offers more content.

Scott, I don’t see it that way. As a guitar player / song writer / producer who can’t play piano very well, I wanted a plugin that had many more patterns of simple piano chord riffing. I honestly expected to have 25 some-odd riffs under Pop / Rock and 25 piano riffs under Country etc. EZ Drummer didn’t only have 8 beats to choose from at the start. As a song writer, I write material to sell. I went thru the small hand full of riffs in EZK in less than a few minutes. The crusher was the fact that some of the few patterns were copies of past hits. What can anyone do with those?

You can’t please everyone in this world. Some people don’t like pizza. Every product ever created will have it’s naysayers and in the world of the internet, it’s the ones with the beef that speak the loudest. I always knew that some of the editing issues would sooner or later be fixed via patch, so those issues didn’t get my undies in a wad. The total lack of content did, and still does. The Superior / EZD expansions had TONS more beats and patterns added to the core group. For $29.00, EZK Pop / Rock gives us 12. It strikes me a tiny. Maybe I’m on mars and I just don’t get how hard it is to add a piano riff to this program. It doesn’t seem that adding 40 new piano riffs to EZK is all that different than adding 40 different beats. Just a collection of midi notes in a bundle.

Again, maybe I’m off my rocker.
