How do you launch EZdrummer 1 as a stand alone product. I can launch it through solo but can it be ran by itself?

Thank you.

Dave

Sorry, no. EZDrummer1 needs a host application like Pro Tools, Logic, Studio One, GarageBand, Cubase, etc
or Toontrack Solo.

EZDrummer2 incorporated a standalone mode in addition to running as a hosted ‘plugin’ virtual instrument.

When installing EZ Drummer, where is Toontrack Solo for Mac 10.11, it says it is only for 10.3 – 10.9 ?
many thanks, Graze

EZDrummer2 doesn’t require Solo to run in ‘standalone mode’,
are you referring to EZDrummer1?

PS. Crossgrade or not, your installation of SuperiorDrummer is in NO way reliant upon installing EZDrummer first.
To clarify, having EZDrummer registered/licensed in your Toontrack account enabled you to authorize the SD Crossgrade
but you DO NOT have to install EZDrummer before installing your SuperiorDrummer Crossgrade.

EZDrummer2 Modern/Vintage grooves has lots of “Cymbal Stuff” under the Extras category, including swells.

Beyond the swell grooves, some kits include cymbals that have “crescendo” articulations.

I would download ALL installation disc images and updates from your Toontrack account,
installing EZDrummer2 first, then its updates, followed by your EZX expansions and their updates.

All EZX expansions run in EZDrummer2, once updated from your account.

Not sure why you’d have trouble with EZD2 in GarageBand or Logic.
Can you open EZD2 in standalone mode (from the Toontrack folder within “Applications”)?

Would it be possible to make a visual assistant. That you could watch when you record? I think it would help a lot of musicians timing issues..
Thanks for your attention..

“Visual” in what way? a blinking light?
corresponding to what? the beat?
doesn’t your DAW do that?

[Scott Eshleman]

Please check the “Get Info” properties and uncheck the box next to “Open in 32-bit mode”. (see attached screenshot)

I don’t think there is any MIDI Program Change Code available.
So far as to affecting this change while keeping resources to a minimum,
I’d “print” (commit) one or both of the MIDI track(s) to Audio once you are satisfied with the groove(s).

I’m wondering if it doesn’t have something to do with the blocks not aligning with the beginning or ending of a bar.

[Scott Eshleman]

These products originated as DAW plugins and continue to be offered as such alongside their standalone versions.
It is my understanding that there is/was a set of standards for plugins, limiting somehow what a plugin can or can’t do running inside a multitude of DAWs.
Toontrack has always been responsive to its customers. I suspect this feature will be considered as any other.

Wow, I’m going to run into the same problem then. I’m presently running the 64bit demo and would ‘probably’ purchase the full product but after reading this, that’s going to be doubtful. And after reading that neither/none of the published solutions work it this time, the company REALLY needs to step up and update the screen sizing issue. And enduser should be able to size the application for whatever size screen they have in use. The fact that the company hasn’t fixed this issue is very disappointing.

I’m confused. Are you currently experiencing an issue running the demo?
If not, you won’t with the full product, either.
If so, is it an insurmountable issue that will hinder or prevent you from using it?

I’ve used Toontrack products on a variety of monitors, including a 55″ 4K HDTV, 27″ iMac and 15″ Macbook Pro.
I’ve not experienced any difficulties with any of them and do not understand how your issue is limited to Toontrack’s products.
Please tell me, what do your other apps look like at the resolution giving you issues with Toontrack products.

[Scott Eshleman]

You don’t mention which product you are using but the process is fairly similar:

Hi gseshleman,
No, Tap2Find is working well with the empty MIDI item.
With “Drag Midi song blocks here” – zone I mean the Timeline (see attachment).

EZDrummer2 rejected the empty MIDI block (but did NOT crash) when I tried to drag it to the Timeline.
It would not allow me to drag an empty MIDI block there.

When EZX’s and SDX’s are sharing the same theme …, these are recorded from the same studio recording session , so of course they are pre-planned …,

As you no doubt are aware, but for those who may not know,
SDX’s are the raw, unmixed, unproduced samples
(including the bleed from all of the mics used) recorded during the session
from which EZX’s are created as pre-mixed subsets.

Nobody knows for sure. And we couldn’t say if we did know…NDA and all.

FYI: NDA = Non-Disclosure Agreement.
“A non-disclosure agreement (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement (CA), confidential disclosure agreement (CDA), proprietary information agreement (PIA), or secrecy agreement (SA), is a legal contract between at least two parties that outlines confidential material, knowledge, or information that the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access to or by third parties. It is a contract through which the parties agree not to disclose information covered by the agreement. An NDA creates a confidential relationship between the parties to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or trade secrets. As such, an NDA protects non-public business information. In fact, some employment agreements will include a clause restricting employees’ use and dissemination of company-owned confidential information.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-disclosure_agreement
