I actually figured this one out, I totally forgot about this post. In Reaper you can right-click on a track (left side around the track controls) and there are options in the right-click menu labelled “Track performance options”. Selecting either “Prevent media buffering”, “Prevent anticipative FX”, or both, resolves the issue. Not at my studio machine now so I can’t test but try one, then the other, and if neither works alone, then select both. You only have to do it on the track that EZDrummer is on.

Further clues after researching Plugin Delay Compensation…

Reaper has a setting called “Anticipative FX processing” – if I turn this OFF, then Tap2Find works.

When it’s ON, which is its default setting, then Tap2Find taps are delayed again. The default setting when it’s on says “Render-ahead: 200ms” so I’m guessing my taps are 200ms late.

I can’t really leave this setting off because it causes clicks and pops in the audio for me, but at least this is a clue…

Note that even closing Reaper and then reopening it with the project doesn’t resolve the problem, something gets “stuck” in the Tap2Find feature.

I have the same problem, any ideas? On Reaper on a PC. When I first started using EZ Drummer, the Tap2Find feature worked fine.

But now there is so much delay it is unusable, I click a drum and the beat ends up being an 1/8th note late in the grid.

If I create a new project in Reaper, and just add EZ Drummer, it works OK. But at some point in time something breaks and the Tap 2 Find timing is off. Everything else is still fine, the playback still works and is in time.

In a project that had the problem, I started bypassing plugins one by one and deleting tracks, even removed EZ Drummer and readded it to the track it was on, but Tap 2 Find was always messed up in that project.

However, if I deleted ALL THE TRACKS that EZ Drummer was using (where the plugin is, and all the output tracks it creates), then readded EZ Drummer and allowed it to recreate all the output tracks again, then Tap 2 Find worked again. So at least I can save my project in EZ Drummer, delete all the tracks, re-add it with all the tracks, then reopen my project, and I can use Tap 2 Find again.

Not sure if it’s a Reaper issue or an EZ Drummer issue but it’s a problem.
