Your projects with vocals .gtrs and other microphonic recordings will sound better at higher rates but EZ wont actually improve its sound .

Does it only apply to guitars/vocals or any sound source? I am using mostly synth sounds via MIDI, shouldn’t they also benefit from higher sampling rates?

Since DAW usually requires using the same rate for all tracks, this is a principle choice I am trying to make. Thanks for the input.

And btw, now I bought EZmix, started using it and need this feature even more

I never did either, and I don’t think it will do any good in case the project has audio tracks. What I would like to try is to change it before generating first audio track. Should work, but I see that it’s not an ideal workaround: even if I only have MIDI and VST instruments, it’s difficult to separate work process to “composition” and “recording” stages: of course I will want to come back and redo some parts. So perhaps this is not as useful as I thought it might be.

Scott,

Thank you for the clarification, that makes sense.

Now since all my other tracks come from MIDI and VST instruments and not audio sources, should I be able to improve performance by setting initial sample rate to 44.1 and only changing it to higher rate before I start producing audio tracks? This way I will keep things fast while I am at composing stage. This will work, won’t it?

I can confirm that the same thing happens to me: I have a powerful machine with i7, SSD and 12 GB RAM, and each time I change a drum kit (I have several EZX extentions) it takes about a minute to fully load the instruments. I can see a megabyte counter: 104, 108, 115… etc. This is a creativity killer. Sometimes I am afraid to try another kit because I know I’ll have to wait so long.

My host is Cubase and projects’ sampling rate is 96 kHz. So it there anything that can be done? I’ve never experienced such delay with other plugins.

Well, this is what I currently did: keep single instance and change drum kits as I go. Inconvenient but does not crash Cubase. Really looking forward for a fix.

I just bought EZDrummer with a few expansions, and I think I should find more reasons to upgrade (I consider upgrading to get rid of the bug to be a wrong reason). Drums are not essential parts of my arrangements, so in general EZDrummer with various MIDI files is what I need. I see a potential advantage of merging instruments from different expansions into a single instance, but I need some time to find out if I really need it.

Thanks for the quick response.
BTW is there a timeline for a next version or at least a fix of this problem?

I see, thank you for the quick reply.
