sorry to hear you are having difficulties, hopefully we can straighten things out.
If you have a loop area enabled in EZD3, it is not following your host correctly, as you have noticed. Just release the loop in EZD3 by either clicking the loop button or Shift+G.
If you have recorded MIDI in Reaper and transferred it onto the EZD3 Song Track, you can mute it on the Reaper Track. If you do it the other way around; drag from EZD3 to Reaper, then either Mute the parts on the EZD3 Song Track or Disable Follow Host.
the answer would be yes to both questions if I understand you correctly.
Once you have your base kit set up, you save the MIDI configuration as your own MIDI In/E-drums Preset. This MIDI Preset can be applied to other kit configurations.
I would imagine having a base Project as Default and modifying it with different instruments and save as new Projects would be the easiest in your case.
Project files save the entire state of the plug-in, including stuff on the Song Track(s).
Drums and Mixer Presets save just that but not the MIDI mapping setup nor MIDI on the Song Track(s).
Kit Preset save only the Kit pieces.
MIDI Presets save the mapping.
if you open the Finder and go to {Macintosh HD}/Library/Application Support/, is there not an ‘EZdrummer’ folder?
If not, please press Cmd+Shift+L to open the User Library folder and check the Application Support there for an ‘EZdrummer’ folder. Is there one there?
If you go to the Users/Shared/Toontrack/ folder, is there an ‘Installerlog.log’ file there?
manual tinkering of the files and folders inside the ‘Library/Application Support/EZdrummer’ folder breaks update and general functionality. Makes things harder to trouble-shoot and give support for as well.
Compatibility between EZdrummer 3 and Superior 3 is automatic if they are left at Default on your system.
I recommend leaving stuff inside the other plug-ins’ Home directories as is as well.
apart from Mick’s advice to make sure ‘Follow Host’ is enabled to have EZD3 run in sync with Reaper, I would say the easiest way for you would be to first record to the Reaper Instrument Track, then record arm the Song Track in the EZD3 plug/in and hit play in Reaper. This will then record the MIDI from the Reaper Track to your EZD3 Song Track for editing.
There is currently no way to keep the EZd3 Song Track in Rec armed mode after stopping.
Only a few DAW’s allow for MIDI to be dragged from the DAW to a plug-in inside it, I don’t think Reaper is one of them.
I can see you have submitted a Support Ticket, which is good. They should get back to you soon but please be patient due to the Holidays. From what I can see the Fastspring ordering system got stuck on finding the tax rate for your country, which put the order On Hold.
I cannot find an EZmix 3 product registered to your account. You do have a Vintage Grit EZmix Pack registered but as the product info page say; this expansion requires EZmix 3.
could you please elaborate? What doesn’t work for you?
Regarding what is printed in your DAW when you route into it; it is simply what you hear. If you use the SD3 internal bounce however, you need to specify whether you want to bounce per microphone (which is pre-mixer) or per output (which is post-mixer).
if I have Track > Auto Scroll Enabled, the Playhead gets inserted at the leftmost selected groove on the Song Track. With a quick spacebar play/stop or Cmd+left arrow/right arrow, that location is in view again.
