Sorted. I contacted support and they got it working.

Also noticed the drop down for ‘shared VST plugins folders’ says “No common VST folder” – I dont know much about Cubase but that sort of implies to me you havn’t set-up any specific paths for vst plugins, just a thought.

[Richard Kitt]

and?

For what its worth just timed it loading in reaper, about 11secs.  Thats on an Intel i7 with 6G and a fairly fast harddrive.I guess one other possibility is that your hardrive is badly fragmented, have you checked that?

[Richard Kitt]

The only thing I can think of is if you installed the ‘sounds’ on a seperate harddrive that is particuarly slow.

You will not find that particular groove so I guess you are just going tpo have to try out the different grooves you have available and find the best ‘match’ or make it yourself.

EZplayer is a seperate tool (free) that you can download from the Toontrack website.  It allows you to add different grooves to track (in EZPlayer) to build up a complete song or part of a song that you can the drag and drop into your DAW.  Sorry if that wasn’t explained very well.

You cannot expect to have ready made grooves tailored to your exact requirements.  If that was the case think how many grooves would be needed to satisfy the EZDrummer customer base.

Different expansion packs for EZDrummer and SD2 contain more grooves + you can look at things like Groove Monkee and Platinum Samples who sell MIDI grooves in different styles.  Other than that I guess its down to you to create your own if you cannot find something that works.

OK – I apologise, I had not thought that thru’ properly.

ORIGINAL: Rogue
advising others to ‘move’ installed components is bad advise, but as they say advise is cheap 🙂

Perhaps we should agree to differ on this.  Given the choice between moving (or perhaps copying would have been better) the dll or doing a complete OS reinstall, I would move the dll.  As the dll is ‘used’ by other applications who maintain their own record of where it is (once you have told them), to me it is the sensible route, especially if the user allready has a folder dedicated to vst’s.  If it was an exe we were talking about there is no way I would advise moving it.

[Richard Kitt]

You say you have already uninstalled everything, is that correct? – if not all you have to do is move the dll into the folder of your choice on the drive of your choice and then make sure your DAW knows its location, once you have done that you may need to rescan vst’s so your DAW knows it is actually there.

If you have already reinstalled then sorry I dont know the answer.

[Richard Kitt]

It makes no difference really where the dll is providing your DAW know, where it is, so in this case as Cubase created the vst folder it will know, but you could create a folder anywhere you want and put the dll there, but you will have to tell Cubase where the folder is and probably rescan for vst’s.

How you set up drives and folders really is down to how you organise things, although where a vst is likely to need to load data/samples quicky that would be better on the fastest disk drive you have (if you have more than one).  On my set up I have 1 hard drive partioned as c and d, c has the OS etc, d has the audio programs and on a 2nd 1.5T drive I keep all the data.

Not sure what a Zoom Rt-323 is, I dont use drum machines, but basically ‘Solo’ is an app that allows you to play EZDrummer or Superior Drummer 2 as a standalone app rather than having to insert it into a DAW – so in short, I guess you need to get EZDrummer

[Richard Kitt]

Your confused – it seems you have got further than I have.  I have been trying to get this to work for months now (well it seems like months).  I have read all the help, looked at the videos, but nothing works.  If I add in 2 inputs they are all the same colour(green) so I how do I select one from another.  I have got a simple track that goes kick, snare, kick snare etc.  I have isolated the kick, rendered and converted, but zilch in the midi file, totally empty. If I play preview, nothing.  I have tried time and time again but nothing works.  OK I know I am probably do something dumb, but I am an IT pro (I help people write C++, C# applications using the API my company provides), so I am not PC illiterate, so any pointers would be great.

Thanks.
