Hi Mark,

the Hitmaker SDX is an expansion library for SD3. i.e. an add-on. There is a Bundle offer in the web shop now.

Hi,

if I understand you correctly, I would say that you should probably look into upgrading to Superior Drummer 3, where you can expand library kits with additional instruments/pads and have much more control over individual articulations and custom setups.

Hi Neville,

questions about what is or isn’t in development will never be answered in the Forum due to several reasons but Toontrack always take requests and feedback posted here into consideration.

Hi,

if you have your grooves on your EZD3 Song Track, you need to drag them to your Instrument Track in LUNA to be able to see them there.
When on the Instrument Track, make sure NOTES view is enabled and you may also need to click FOLD and/or FIT.

I haven’t seen the Audio Engine inactive message in LUNA myself but you could always try toggling the ARM Mode. Are there any other program running that claims the audio device? Which interface are you using? I’m running an x4 here.

Hi Raymond,

if you have imported the Tempo/Time Sig from Logic to the SD3 Song Track via a dummy MIDI file and then Disable ‘Follow Host’ before you use the SD3 internal Bounce, everything should work as expected.

Please check if your SD3 Song Track’s Tempo and Time Signature matches your Logic Pro’s Timeline. Also, if you have a minus Bar offset in Logic it will complicate the synching.

I’m also having this issue – downloaded the trial of EZD3 but it said it had already expired. Apparently it was trialled a couple of years ago, but I’ve no memory of ever trialling it.

I’ve been waiting for support to get back to me for a few days, but haven’t heard anything yet. I know it’s the holiday season, so people may not be working, but I’m worried that the current deals will end before I’ve had a chance to trial the product 🙁 I’ll only need a day or two to trial it. Surely someone can help??

Hi,

unfortunately Forum Tech advisors can’t help you with that particular issue, only Toontrack Support can do that.

15dec24: Created and account, downloaded Toontrack PrdMngr, downloaded ED3, tried to launch get the error code “sound library issue” tried rescan and restart no change!  Mean while my 10 day trial is evaporating and no chance to evaluate this product.

The competition is looking better everyday!

How about some help Toontrack.

Hi,

did you also download and install the Core Trial library? Without a library the software doesn’t work as expected.

Hi rushfan,

what Shootie is getting at is that if there is CC data recorded from the e-kit, you will not get expected results remapping articulations or dragging notes to specific articulations in the Grid Editor. If your drummer has recorded the HH with an e-kit, selecting the right MIDI Preset in Superior Drummer 3 should yield expected results with un-altered performance.
If the note triggers are for the Edge and Tip Trigger notes, the HH CC data takes care of the correct openness.
Re-Learning MIDI notes in the MIDI Mapping Property Box on the DRUMS page would be opening a can of worms for you, I suspect.

Hi,

from what I can see in your screen shots, you are first boosting the Output Faders in the SD3 Mixer +12dB, then you also have the Gain fader on the Bounce page set to +12dB.
The Bounce process recognises a significant overshoot in volume and backs the Gain fader down -18,9dB to avoid distorting audio files before it makes another Bounce.
Leaving the Mixer Output fader at unity and the Bounce Gain fader at 0 would likely produce a Bounce with good levels.
As for what level is “correct” in a DAW and Song, it depends so much on context but it is what you have your DAW for, to mix and set levels correctly. If you have received e.g. guitar tracks from someone else that have them individually squashed against digital zero, the right move is to lower them instead of trying to raise the volume of the drums to compete with them.

Everyone is having the same issues, seems pretty fishy.

Well, that depends on what you mean. Most of the people posting in this thread did only install the software and not any library which, of course, would make the software complain.
The Authorisation issue is something completely different but I am not sure it had anything to do with fish.

Hi stelios,

things *should* get rectified on Monday but if not, get back here or create a Ticket with Toontrack Support directly via any of the FAQ pages (Contact Support button at bottom of page).

In Windows this feature produces a pdf with all but the first column of the display cutoff. This happens even if you select landscape mode in the print options. So yes, that button is there, but it’s functionally useless.

Has anyone else had this question asked and adequately answered in the past couple of years?

Operating system: Windows 10

Hi,
on Mac this works as expected but I can see that using the ‘Microsoft print to PDF’ driver cuts off the content. A quick Search reveals that this problem seems widespread with a lot of Windows programs and the Microsoft print to PDF driver. Do you have any other print to PDF drivers available to you?

I will forward this to my colleagues.

Hi,

that is not the intended use for the Tracker, so to mix in the original audio (or any other sound source) you would need a DAW of some kind.

Hi,

“same problem” is a bit wide considering this thread is mostly about the EZdrummer 2 standalone not being installed. Your problems seem to be about corrupt libraries?

Anyways, this is pre-sales and not support, so I am closing this thread now and ask you to please post in the EZdrummer Help section instead:
