Hi Secret,

There are a few ways to do this:

You can open Edit play style (double click on a groove), Select a cymbal and increase the amount knob.

You can also add opening hits in edit play style..

Or, if you need very customized cymbal crashes you can record them. Simply click the record button, then the play button and then click on the cymbal to record it to the track. you can also use a MIDI controller to trigger the cymbal.

HI Jamie,

Are you able to select these additional EZX libraries from the drop down menu in EZDrummer 2, or do they not appear in the list at all?

IF they are in the list, what happens when you choose one of them ( such as DFH, Metal Machine…). We need to determine if you have 2 EZDrummer folders, or if there is something wrong with the one on the computer.

If you can provide any Screen shots that show your issue please send them to info (at) Toontrack.com. Make sure to reference this forum link in the email that you send.

Once the demo time is up, will it uninstall from the laptop completely?
Will my existing Drum Packs work with EZ2 or will I need to purchase updates?
Is it worth a shot trying to install to XP or its fo sho not going to work on XP?

Thanks

The demo will not uninstall automatically. You will need to uninstall it.

Yes your existing EZX’s will work in the paid version of EZDrummer 2. Please see this FAQ: http://www.toontrack.com/faq/will-my-ezdrummer-1-libraries-ezxs-work-in-ezdrummer-2/

No, EZDrummer 2 will not install on a system that is running XP. Windows 7 or higher is needed.

Hi,

“Q. If I buy an EZ Drummer 1 boxed version with free upgrade to EZd2 can I stick with version 1 and not upgrade?”

Yes, You can install only version one if you choose… However EZDrummer 1 has been discontinued so It will be quite hard to find a dealer selling version 1. EZDrummer 2 is fully compatible with EZDrummer 1. Meaning all of your old projects that used EZdrummer 1 will work exactly the same way with EZDrummer 2.

“Q. The FAQ says that new expansion packs bought after May are not compatible with EZd1 – can you sell me additional licenses on top of my two active licences for some expansion packs to get around this?”

This FAQ does not refer to expansions that are bought after May 6th… It refers to New expansions that are created by Toontrack after May 6th. As of today (June 4th 2014) there are NO new expansions that have been created since EZDrummer 2 was released on May 6th.. therefore all currently available EZX’s on Toontrack.com will indeed work with EZD 1 (as of June 4th 2014).

In the future when you hear about a brand new EZX release from Toontrack, it will not be compatible with EZdrummer 1.

Just logged on because I am having the same issue. Also, oddly, in My Products, EZ Drummer Lite shows “Update Available” but not sure why I would care as I upgraded to full version and EZ D2. I was wondering if that was the issue with Pop/Rock too.

Can’t wait to dig into EZ D2. Upgraded to Win7 finally just so I can use this great tool.

This means that there is a update for EZDrummer lite that you have not ever downloaded. It does not mean that you should download it. Since you are an EZDrummer 2 user you should not download this update.

Toontrack.com does not communicate with your computer in any way to see what products you have installed or updated. It simply shows a record of what you have or have not downloaded.

Hello Fezzler!

Actually in, “My Products” my copy of Pop/Rock says, “Unauthorized”. Then when I click on the, “Unauthorized” heading to authorize it, I get the Serial Number but it says, “Add Computer”. Usually when you try to run a specific, EZX it will tell you that it is Not Authorized and then you have to enter the serial number and add your computer ID.

In my case and several of those who responded, they have the same issue, but the Pop/Rock EZX works fine without having to Authorize or Add Computer.

So, again for now I will just continue to use the Pop/Rock EZX and wait for Toontrack to straighten it out. From my end, it works and I cannot change it, so let it go.
Eventually I’m sure that Toontrack will want to have all products that say, “Unauthorized”, to be in reality, “Unauthorized”. Or if they are, Authorized to say, “Authorized”.

I say for us the users, go ahead and enjoy the, “New and Improved”, EZDrummer 2 and let them iron out the glitches when they have the time.

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion. There is a difference between Toontrack.com saying a product is “unauthorized” and receiving a message in your Toontrack software saying that the product is un-authorized.

In the case of the Pop Rock EZX, If it works on your computer it is indeed authorized. The Pop Rock EZX was added to the users accounts who upgraded from EZDrummer 1. So, If were using EZDrummer 1 in the past, you authorized Pop Rock in the past (on your computer) simply by authorizing EZdrummer 1.

Toontrack wanted EZdrummer 2 upgrade users to be able to access and re-download their EZDrummer 1 Pop Rock library if they ever needed to… So, we created the Pop Rock EZX as a separate download and added it to the accounts of users who upgraded from EZDrummer 1. However, technically this new Pop Rock EZX has not been authorized on your toontrack.com account.

Therefore, Toontrack.com does not show that POP Rock EZX has been authorized and displays an Unauthorized message… but nothing is wrong.

This is not a glitch, it is simply a fact that a new authorization has not been created for the Pop Rock EZX. This will in no way effect how Pop Rock works on your computer. It will remain authorized as it has been.

Hi Scouser,

We can assure you that the files are not randomly placed on your computer. Each set of files are placed exactly where they need to be in order to ensure operation.

The ONLY files that can be moved for EZdrummer 2 (i.e NOT EZdurmmer 1) are the sound library files. Please see this FAQ that explains where they are and how to move them if you must. http://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-move-the-sounds-for-ezdrummer-2/

Toontrack does not recommend manually moving any other files as it will almost certainly cause something to go wrong.

The New version of the Demo has now been uploaded. Toontrack uses a CDN (content delivery network) so it can take about 24 hrs for the new upload to spread to all of the different servers around the world. Please try downloading the new demo in 24 hrs.

Ok, we have found the issue and we will release a new version of the demo shortly.

While you will receive the error message in Pro tools 10, the RTAS version of the Demo will still work as John Mentioned above.

Also, to be completely clear, this is a temporary issue with the DEMO version, it is not present in the full version of EZDrummer 2.

Hi

Sorry about the slow reply. Please go to this link:

Under product variant select the Lite upgrade.

Very sorry for the delayed reply. Some forum posts fell through the cracks.

EZdrummer 2 comes with its own unique MIDI library. it is not the same content from EZDrummer 1.

Your old grooves from EZdrummer 1 will still be available in EZDrummer 2.

Hi,

We are sorry for the delayed reply to your message. This one seemed to slip through the cracks.

In Garage band 10 Please double click on the track icon to open the info window in garage band.

Then click Audio Units > Toontrack > EZmix.

Im not a Reaper expert but I would imagine that there is indeed a way to do this… (As it can be done in pro tools).

There is not a way to do this in EZDrummer 2. So, I can only recommend contacting Reaper support or checking the Reaper manual for ways to make Meter Changes in the Reaper timeline.

Hi Joe,

The best way to mix the individual tracks from EZDrummer 2 in Cubase would be to launch EZDrummer 2 as a plugin in Cubase and then use the Multi out routing in EZDrummer and Cubase to route each Mixer channel in EZDrummer 2 to a channel in Cubase. This video shows how to setup EZDrummer 1 for multi outs with cubase. The process will be exactly the same for EZD2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRL6FnJGJJE

If you really don’t want to do this, and you would prefer to use audio tracks… you can use EZDrummer 2 in stand alone and solo a single channel in the mixer, then export as a wave. Then solo another channel and export… continue this process until you have exported every channel.

Then you could import these files into cubase.
