Hi,

Today I had EZdrummer 3.1.1 crash so I’m sending you the .dmp file EZ3 kindly provided.

I’m also thinking this crash may be connected to the error messages I received earlier in just the one project which I was working on today when the crash occurred.

Looking forward to what the .dmp file reveals… err not,

Mauri Berg.

Seems the .dmp file is too big to attach here so I ‘zipped’ it, I hope that’s ok?

Hi again,

The EZ3 standalone works fine, and it seems to work loaded in my Projects, so no problem there.

Because Omnisphere, Trilian and EZ3 load into the project in rapid succession I couldn’t tell which one of the three might be at fault. I contacted Spectrasonics and this is what they said:

“If the messages are limited to a single project, and they’re not impacting your ability to access sounds, you can ignore them.

 

The error messages indicate that there could be some missing or corrupted library data in your STEAM folder. Ordinarily, we might recommend reinstalling the instrument from the reinstall tab of the user account to resolve the issue. However, due to how narrow the effect is in this case, I think the hassle of reinstalling might outweigh the tangible benefit. If you’d like, you’re of course welcome to reinstall from the reinstall tab of your user account.”

If this ‘issue’ is actually confined to the one Project I’ll leave things as is. I’ll also create a new one and see how that goes, I’ll get back to you on that.

Thank you very much,

Mauri Berg.

Thanks, Mick,

Yes, I installed and reinstalled from the TPM 😉

These messages may also have come from Trilian and or Omnisphere which loaded just before EZ3.
I’ll contact them next and come back to let you know what they said.

Cheers.

Well I managed to do the update but I’m not at all sure how I did it.

After much searching (and swearing), altering the registry, running the cmd prompt, installing and re-installing both, 32 bit and 64 bit, I ran the ‘Repair’ option with the 64 bit installer then ran the update and voila, it worked. I then uninstalled the 32 bit version.

What a ‘bloody’ mess…

Disabled Windows antivirus, still the same result.

I just had a look at the EZDrummer2 installation package, that’s where those files are. I assume they are content files and you need’nt be concerned about them, just run the installer and you should be ok.

Are you having some kind of a problem?

Hi, and welcome to Toontrack!

Where are these files, are they in the installation package?

Greetings,

Just letting you know, for the benfit of other users, the cause of my problem ended up being Waves update V9r19. gearslutz user ‘eightyeightkeys’ posted the solution:

“Un-install Waves
C: Program Files(x86)/…..Delete the Waves Folder

Go to C:UsersyouruserAppDataRoamingWaves Audio…Delete the Caches and Preferences folders from that location.

Empty Recycle bin

Re-install latest (V9r20) versions of Waves

Boot Cubase
Rescan PlugIns/Update/Update Plug-In Information

It worked. My crash on exit issue issue is now gone.”

It worked well for me as well!

Cheers,

Mauri.

Hi,

It turns out this error happens quite randomly. In testing, I found by unloading and reloading EZD2 in one project the error did’nt occur, in another project that did’nt work.
Then I found by unloading Slate VTMs (one instance on every EZD2 channel in Cubase) the error did’nt occur. In another project that did’nt work and I got the error.

The same error also happens when using the latest version Superior2.

Both EZD2 2.01 and SD2 2.40 are properly installed and work as expected. It’s only when saving and closing projects in Cubase which is the problem here.

I give up, the error is somewhat annoying but does not cause any damage so I’ll just put up with it.

Sorry if I’ve wasted anyone’s time,

Sincerely,

Mauri Berg.

I don’t know what host you are using but in Cubase I have the 64-bit plugin installed in the same place as all other 64-bit plugs: C:Program FilesSteinbergVSTPlugins Cubase will automatically ‘see’ it there. If your location C:ProgramFilesVstPlugins works with your host then obviously install the 64-bit plugin there. Mauri in Very Hot Australia.

Hi, Robin,

I would strongly suggest you have at least minimum of 8GB of RAM in your new machine, preferably 16GB, or even more.

When I changed from a 32bit to a 64bit setup I was so relieved not have to worry about RAM usage. Using a 32bit operating system (talking about Windows) you can utilise up to 1.7 or so GB of RAM, a bit more with a particular tweak.

My 8GB of RAM at the moment is enough for my way of working.

Good luck,

Mauri.

IMHO I would suggest that a groove played by a ‘real’ drummer at a certain tempo should be used close to the original, otherwise the groove will sound increasingly ‘unreal’ as the tempo is increased or decreased. In other words, the drummer would play the same thing quite differently at a given different tempo. For example, a ballad type (speed) of groove does not sound good (realistic) as a fast rock groove.

Of course I realise the limitations of using premade grooves in EZD or Superior so there is (has to be!) room for reasonable tempo variations.

Mauri.

Have you tried increasing the buffer size in protools?
