Sorry to be a downer Beat6er

but yeah, that “workaround”  from the Magix forum does not address or fix this issue with EZD3, nor does it fix the VST3 of Superior Drummer 3 also EZbass VST3 is also broken in Acid. If you try it and it works for you thats awesome, however I did try it myself and had no luck whatsoever. Unfortunately the original poster doesn’t have the issue we do and the workaround is not for us.

I hope you have much better luck than I did.

Hello Nicholas,

 

So I can chime in here, after a month of back and forth with Magix staff, they have admitted this is a bug on their end. Unfortunately it looks like there is no fix and no fix coming. The engineers at Magix are aware of the issue but have no interest in fixing it as they have moved on to newer versions. This to me is infuriating. I’ve been an acid user since the late 90’s…..now I’m going to jump over to reaper and learn a new way.

 

This isn’t a TT or EZD problem, it would be cool if they had a workaround but honestly it’s not on them to provide one.  Below is the last correspondence with Magix Acid support…

Hello,thank you for your message.I’m afraid I will need to escalate the issue to the developers. I can’t find any issues with the DxDiag, and there have been other reports of VST3 functionality issues from other users. Can you give me a list of the VST3 that are not working with ACID?

Do you recommend running multiple examples of EZmix on the same track i.e. using one for my distortion and then a second on top of that for an EQ?

Yes, absolutely.

I sometimes run 3 or more instances of EZmix on the same track. One set for compression, one set for EQ and one with some type of effect. EZmix is a light hit on the CPU so you can run many instances in one session.

Cool thank you for the protip!!

Thanks for the response Scott,

I use a Pod studio UX1 to track guitars and while I can get a fairly good sound (see my link for examples) I would like to have more control over the shape of the sound, I have been experimenting with keeping a “clean” channel in the mix of heavy guitars to help with clarity but I keep having trouble with the low end of my seven string muddying up.

I have noticed some of the Daniel Bergstrom preset guitar sounds help but I’m really looking for a little more control of the sound. Do you recommend running multiple examples of EZmix on the same track i.e. using one for my distortion and then a second on top of that for an EQ?

I’m sorry to be a pain, I’m a noob to this…I used to do all of my mixing in Sony’s soundforge but it takes so long going through every individual track. I love how easy EZmix2 is it’s a great program and some of the best damn money I have spent for software.

If it’s not too much trouble I would love it if you and other members would listen to my music and tell me how I can make it better (I know it sucks but I’m trying)

Thank you all in advance for any input I really appreciate it.
