The EZkeys line is different than the EZdrummer line insomuch as all EZkeys sound libraries ship with the same basic EZkeys MIDI pack.

Click Control + Alt and it will display the preview pad for the selected instrument on any tab in Superior Drummer 3. There is a ‘pin’ in the top right corner of the preview pad that .will stick the pad to the interface in that location on all tabs

I’ll have to let another tech that uses Mac to chime inb here. I use a PC and Product Manager works fine there. Do you have some virus protection software running that is blocking the installers?

Or, you can contact Toontrack directly via the Contact Support button in the FAQ below.

First install the Full product (2.1.8 under Full Product Installer) and then the update (2.2.0 under Updates).

Hi Scott,

Here’s  a screenshot from my standalone.

I have not moved the .dll. Always left it at default download location.
I don’t know if the problem maybe the last update of product manager or Ez Bass?

That show 1.0.7. The pic in your other post shows 1.0.5. There has to be 2 .dlls for that to happen.

Search your computer for ezbass.dll. If there is more than 1, delete them both. Reinstall the update.

Same with me. It has become unusable in Bandlab Cakewalk (current version).

When in the Daw  I get this@

In Toontrack prod manager it says it’s up to date as with all other products.

However, if I go to my account I see the products I have there are anomalies like products

need to be ‘mark as installed’ and ‘authorize’.

It works fine in standalone.

Your pic shows version 1.0.5 and not 1.0.7. Has the .dll been moved or copied since it was installed?

Hello, I recently updated to 1.07 and now crashing in Reaper.  No bass image as in the above posts.  Standalone work fine.  Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several times with no luck.  EZBass is currently unusable.  In reaper I get a message that the sound library needs to be updated but my Toontrack installer says everything is up to date.  Please Help!

Has the .dll been moved or copied since it was installed? Is the path shown in the standalone version the path set in Reaper?

You did what?

You can download the 64-bit update from the Toontrack Product Manager.

Actually, I don’t pull anything into Cubase. I use the Song Tracks in S3, EZbass and EZkeys and almost never drag and drop the MIDI into Cubase. There are sometimes I do but it’s less and less as I love the editors in S3 and EZbass. I will edit MIDI for EZkeys but most of the time I don’t.

And yes, when I do drag and drop MIDI from S3/EZD2/EZbass/EZkeys, they play back those sounds and not some other generic sound. I have the MIDI track output routed to those instruments. Not sure why you can’t do the same in your DAW.

Minimum system requirements are just that. Minimum. 8GB of RAM will load S3 and SOME of the kits. Some kits with all channels and mic bleeds activated are 15+GB. With less bleeds and vchannels used, less RAM of course.

I run an old Windows 7 machine (built in 2012) with 16GB of RAM and it works just fine. I keep an eye on the RAM especially if I’m running other instruments (they all need resources). Most new modern machines will run just fine. More RAM (16GB+) the better is my recommendation.

I’m having similar issues. I installed the latest EZbass and audio sender via product manager yesterday.

1. When I open GarageBand and try to add a plugin, I only see audio sender (NO EZbass). Is the plugin not installing correctly? Is there supposed to be an option for “ezbass” in garaegband as a plugin? My understanding is that it should work as a plugin, not merely as a standalone.
2. I’m trying to get audio sender to connect to EZbass *standalone* and it’s not working. The audio sender instructions are telling me to “Select the tab named ‘audio sender'” and then “click ‘record audio from DAW'” but there is no option to record audio from DAW. Perhaps this is because I’m trying to get the standalone version to connect to the audio sender plugin? I would like to use it as a plugin
3. I followed the steps outlined here (https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/my-newly-installed-plug-in-isnt-showing-up-in-garageband/) to make it re-scan for audio units. I did that. It re-scanned for them. It found audio sender but did not find ezbass.
4. I’m running Big Sur. Is it not compatible? It’s a fresh install of macOS Big Sur (11.1) with latest GarageBand (10.4.2), running the latest ezbass (1.0.7). Note that it was installed via product manager. Everything says I have all updates, the most recent installs / versions. Is there something I’m missing? How do I get it to work as a plugin?

Feeling totally lost here.

Looks like that list shows plugins. EZbass is an instrument. I don’t use GarageBand but I think there is an instrument menu as well as a plugin menu.

Not sure what you mean. I’m getting drum and bass sounds from the Song Tracks in S3 and EZbass. I have everything running together in Cubase.

Actually my songwriting template has S3, EZbass, and EZkeys loaded and setup as well as a few audio tracks for guitars and vocals.

I’ve never used the bounce to wav feature in EZD2 or S3 or EZbass. I create in my DAW. Usually I start with the guitar, being a guitar player. Or, I’ll start with EZkeys for a different type of “inspiration”. So, at that point I know the chord progression and song form.

Then, depending on arrangement of course, I’ll start to create the drum part. I’ll use the S3 Song Track and drag MIDI from the browser. I’ll use the Tap2Find to narrow the search because I’ll have an idea of what I want. Then I can edit using the Edit Play Style or grid editor to tweak.

Then I’ll move on to EZbass. I’ll either drag the EZkeys progression that I created to EZbass or I’ll write the progression by hand if I didn’t use EZkeys and just a guitar part. Sometimes I’ll drag the progression in from EZkeys and then also drag the drum MIDI into EZbass and use the rhythm feature while keeping the progression intact. That way the bass and drums sound more like they are playing together. It’s trial and error to find what works

The reason I never render to .wav is that I want to tweak until the song is finished. Rendering means that’s it and if I decide I want to change the bridge or I want some tight syncopated hits with drums/bass/keys and everything is rendered, I can’t. It’s about being able to tweak and be creative if I want.

Also, I’m a mixing engineer. When the song needs to be mixed,  I stem out my drums from the S3 mixer into my DAW. I want to be able to mix the drums while referencing the arrangement and other instruments. If I was given a stereo drum track that sounds awesome solo’d and was bounced in a vacuum (not mixed while referencing any other instruments) I’d feel handcuffed at mixdown. I ain’t havin it lol.
