Steve.  I realize this.  But the copyright laws seem to be changing.  I know we’ll never have an issue with Toontrack.  That’s not the issue.  Please check out this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kt1DXu7dlo

Ed Sheeran was recently sued by Marvin Gaye’s co writer of his hit “Let’s Get It On” from years back for apparently using the same CHORD PROGRESSION and GROOVE!  Gaye’s co writer won a settlement for $100,000,000!

I don’t present this as an issue with Toontrack, but something that, in general, those of us who write songs, especially those of us who use pre programmed loops need to think about.  Both Sheeran and Thicke need to appeal these ridiculous rulings or everybody who writes songs, pro or amateur could be subject to lawsuit just by re using something like perhaps a 12 bar blues pattern.

 

Watch the video and decide for yourself if this is fair or not.

It is also on the right click of the instrument in DETAILS over to the right…. Plus I just learned that if you open the DETAILS on ONE INSTRUMENT they will be there on any others you right click after….  

Thanks!

Never mind. I figured it out. I need to be in Edit Play style to do that.

Thanks anyway!

Hi,

the Crash Mute keys are velocity sensitive for length. Try hitting the key at different velocities and see where it is the right length for you.

BR,

Sorry. This isn’t working. Probably because I can’t seem to find out the proper way to set up my Nektar keyboard for MIDI commands. Thanks anyway.

Are you inserting EZD2 as an instrument? Try going to the Insert menu/Soft Synth/ and you should see Toontrack in your choices there. Then you would pick EZ Drummer. From there you could drag/drop the MIDI from your EZD directly to the track. Also, make sure you scan your plugin folder to make sure Sonar is picking it up.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks so much, Henrick. Your suggestion worked.

Thanks, Scott. At least I know I’m not missing something that is there.
