Authorization an August 12th in 2017 and not used for one single recording 😉

I think it is horrible 🙁 just like the Pop/Rock EZX.

My advice: Try to contact a buddy who already has the Pop! EZX and then check out the expansion before spending money on it! 😉 Because if you are not satisfied with the Pop EZX and want to resell it you will have to pay the 15 dollars license transfer fee 😉

Hi, Leo.  Hope you’re doing well.

I just noticed you have “Toontrack EZX | Pop” still listed.  Is this still for sale?

Please dont do that! If you need POP then get the Dream Pop EZX!

Tested it with favourites as well as with project save. In both cases EZkeys showed the source when I clicked on Show in Browser.

If I’d sell all my Toontrack licenses then I would have to pay more that 2000 dollars to Toontrack.

Even if I’d sell them to only one person. Toontrack demands 15 dollars license transfer fee for every instrument, expansion, pack and MIDI pack.

This is new since mid of this year. 150 licenses… simple math 😉 and therefore I do not spend any more money on Toontrack products 😉

Before you start collecting you should be aware of the fact that Toontrack demands a 15 dollars license transfer fee when you resell a pack that you are not satisfied with.

I disagree!

One can work with EZmix.

But EZmix does not make sense if one likes change many many settings 😉 because that wouldn’t be EZ anymore, would it? 😉

I like the huge amount of guitar amp sounds that are part of several EZmix packs.

But as I titled one my Youtube clips: toontrack ezmix dilemma – who has the choice, has the agony!

I recommended EZmix to a musician buddy. He got the Lite version. He tried it. And he came to the conclusion that this is noch his way of working with plugins 😉

My Youtube channel would still provide hundrets of Toontrack demo videos if Toontrack had not introduced the 15 dollars/euros license transfer fees this year. After spending thousands of euros on Toontrack licenses I should spent further money just to get rid of some expansions and MIDI packs? That is no way tot treat a loyal customer. So my decision is that I do not spent another Cent on Toontrack unless they drop the license transfer fees – which will never happen 😉

Where is the problem?

You can resell EZmix and you can also resell every EZmix pack.

And you can pay 15 dollars license transfer fees for each and every license number. Even if only one person buys all your stuff 😉

That means EZmix 15 dollars, and for 6 packs 90 dollars. That is a total of 105 dollars you pay to Toontrack to get rid of the stuff 😉

But then you can purchase EZbass… and bass expansions… and bass MIDI packs… and one day when you come to the conclusion that EZbass might also be a waste of money for you, you can resell all of those license numbers – and pay once again: 15 dollars license transfer fees for each and every license number.

Welcome to the new system! This time last yeart there was no license transfer fees 😉

Is being able to use non Toontrack drum samples an essential need or are there other features you miss?

Well, since it is called EZ and not TooEZ 😉 Just kidding! But as much as I can understand your disappointment, this kind of cross-compatibility sounds a little bit scary to me 😉 Aren’t there other software solutions that particularly provide an one-song-all-instruments-concept? Wouldn’t it be nice if EZkeys could analyse the mix and find the perfect completion? 😉 On the other hand, should software really do that? Wouldn’t that mean that we finally arrived at some kind of high class karaoke?

One Name to rule them all, One Name to find them,
One Name to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them…

Why would anybody want the restricted EZ concept when it comes to a tonewheel organ? Take the preset or leave it? 😉 Arturia at least allows you to make individual settings plus add pretty decent effects! If the result is like the poor outcome of the EZkeys String Machine then an EZkeys B3 would just be a waste of money – plus you will have to pay an extra of 15 bucks when you want to get rid of it after being disappointed 😉 My favourite EZkeys instruments are still the standards: Grand Piano and Electric MK I.

Nein, die sind nur zum Üben…

Hi guys,

this has been brought up and answered many times.

In short: any Toontrack MIDI used in your own songs will not infringe any copyright on Toontrack’s behalf.

You cannot sell or distribute Toontrack MIDI as it is sold to you, you can only use it as part in the context of a musical composition.

The same goes for any samples/sounds, you use them in context of your work and cannot distribute them individually.

Of course, you can not use Toontrack MIDI to copy another composer’s work and claim that you are using Toontrack “copyright free” MIDI and get away with it but I guess that’s pretty obvious, right? ?

BR,

John
