In this Toontrack tutorial around 1:24 he also moves the cursor in SD3 and plays from there. That is what I’m trying to achieve and can’t figure it out:

That looks like the S3 Standalone and hitting the Spacebar in Standalone will play the Song Track.

It looks like he’s not initiating playback of the DAW from the play button in S3. Just the S3 Song Track.

If you have “Enable keyboard shortcuts in DAW” in S3 Settings-Keyboard Shortcuts, you can hit Shift+Spacebar to just play the S3 Song Track. Or click the play button on the Song Track Transport. But, like I say, it won’t control the DAW playback at all.

Hi Scott, thanks for replying!
Yes you’re right, SD2 midi editing was done right on a Samplitude track, sorry about that.
I hope SD3 is not suppose to work like that because it’s slows everything down. I’m constantly closing SD3, moving the curser in Samplitude, opening SD3 and hoping it’s close to where I want it to be in the grid editor.
When I watch tutorials on YouTube,they’re not moving back and forth from SD3 to their sequencer. They are just moving it right in SD3 and playing from there. I tried turning “follow host” on and off and it didn’t solve the problem.

thanks again,

Paul

Do you have a link of the video you are referring to? Do they have S3 on one monitor and the DAW on another and are clicking between the 2 to bring each “to focus”.

Keep in mind that Download 2 (that you have installed) includes the regular room mic options (“Room Mics 1” OH Cond, Amb Near, Amb Mid) which has plenty of flavor for that beautiful  Galaxy Studios room sound.

Personally I find the bleeds more useful than the surrounds. The surrounds provide more flavors of room sounds and that’s a good thing, but IMHO, provide a level of realism and sound control that I prefer to have control over more than room flavors.

1. 8GB is pretty light if using all bleeds and surround channels. Especially is your using other VSTis.

2. Muting the mixer channels in the S3 mixer will still effect RAM and CPU load because they are still loaded but only muted.

That sounds like how it’s supposed to work. Cursor position follows DAW when Follow Host is active. Can’t see how the behavior was different in S2 because S2 never had a Song Track. It was only added in S3/EZD2.

Ezmix packs require EZmix 2.

Follow Host button allows for the host play/stop function to be master and the plugins (EZbass) sync. It won’t work the other way around. EZbass can’t be sync master and have the host chase.

I’m using EZbass in Cubase 9.5. Follow Host is on. If I have a drum groove on bars 1-8 and hit play in Cubase the drums start. If I then go to EZbass and start auditioning groove with the browser groove play button, they sync.

Can you describe exactly what you are doing?

No, Toontrack doesn’t offer a trial on EZXs. There are extensive audio demos showing the kit presets and full bands mixes featuring the sounds. on the product page and YouTube walk through/review videos to help with evaluation before purchase. The MIDI can be auditioned from the EZD2 grooves tab via the Show Webshop MIDI and selecting the EZX you want to audition.

Thank you for your reply. If your SSD upgrade had to be authorized, probbably any change has to be authorized.

Well, now I’m trapped. With only one of the two authorizations left, its kind of playing with fire to change anything on the current system trying to reduce latency. Buying a monster machine on the other hand could be a little too much overall.

What is that “Delete” button in the authorization zone all about? Can I just delete my current authorization and proceed a new one? Or will it be gone for ever?

You can delete the old one if your OS update triggers a new authorization. You can freely add or remove 4 authorizations and if you ever need more, 2 things happen.

One, the system automatically removes old (deleted) authorizations over time. Two, you just contact support and they manually delete them so you won’t ever have downtime.

Taking a look at your account, all downloads for the past week or so have been done through the website and not through the Toontrack Product Manager. Can you try using the Toontrack Product Manager to download and install the MIDI pack?

Pro Tools 10 is a 32-bit DAW and S3 requires a 64-bit host. The only solution is to use a 64-bit host.

Because it was produced by Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, Whitechapel, Coal Chamber) and Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Behemoth, Hatesphere) who are both death metal and thrash metal producers. The name seemed to fit.
