It looks like I am now adding it to brand new computer. For anyone interested, you need to use your original computer id number that you loaded EZ Drummer on, not sure why and why that would not be noted right there in your my products area but I hope to save anyone else time.

I am at 6% downloaded after about an hour but do not remember my original installation taking the entire day anybody have any memory of how long it takes to download EZ Drummer 2 ? Thanks

[vperri]

So I am finally up and running. It is near impossible to learn your DAW with EZ Drummer 2 up as it hides stuff no matter how you try and move it almost off the screen. Once I went into my DAW with EZ Drummer I could find tempo and other important stuff I needed to adjust. I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for your help.

I am just hoping I do not have to read the entire Studio One Producer 2 manual to figure out how to adjust tempo. Can I ask what Follow Host does in EZ Drummer since it did nothing for me ? Thanks !!!

[vperri]

Standard tempo I mean the tempo the original drum part is before I slowed it down to go with my guitar groove. I meant the preview original tempo does nothing when in my DAW whether on or off. I have not been able to locate the tempo in Studio One so I will have to do a lot of digging in the huge manual. This seems very silly why should any of that be set in my DAW. I should be able to load a groove and work on it but not that easy. If I have follow host on or off same thing cannot use my slow groove I created only the fast one before I worked on it.

Right back to square one. I find a great groove slow it down only for it to go into my studio one producer at the standard tempo. Why can you do cool stuff when in EZ Drummer but as soon as you open EZ Drummer in your studio nothing works ? There is no preview original tempo button even like there is in the stand alone EZ D 2 software. How long will it take to actually be creative with this software ? Does it take most people months ? I know I have not spent hours a day for months but I sure would hope it would have useful by now.

Thank you I just had to run the update all is good there now. Thanks

So it does not look like it is using the newest download I downloaded and extracted files and unzipped.

[vperri]

I cannot see a verison number on bottom lower corner even with glasses on however now the drag and drop feature is working for me and do believe I am doing it the same way I was last time I tried. I see that newest version to download is 2.1.1 and I downloaded it but not sure it worked as it still shows I can download it again. Maybe that does not go away in the download area ? I have other issues now one being I manually loaded a intro, verse, bridge, verse and now cannot get back to bar one to hear intro even though I know I did not delete the intro and also believe I can see that it is not going back to bar 1. Why would this be ? I believe it has happened to me every time I have tried to use this program. Also how do you use the AABA songs ? I can now move them to the player but they are not the intro, verse, pre chorus, chorus, verse, chorus I chose as I can only drop one thing into the little box before it gives me other examples of drum parts that work with that part ? Do you chose each part and put in the main huge bottom area and one all parts are chosen use the “AABA” or “ABAB” to put them in a good order to use ? Thanks for your help !

[vperri]

I was able to load song structures by hitting little arrow next to AABA long or by right clicking on mouse a shame you cannot just drag it like it looks by reading manual. I may be on my way after all getting some use out of this program !

It was the preview tempo button, cool that is figured out. I just tried to use the program and always give up within 10 mins I get so annoyed. Tonight, I looped something to jam to easy enough but than no matter what I did once I wanted to add addtl’ drum parts the program would just throw me to say bar 200 instead of bar one. I would try over and over again to go to bar one to listen but would keep going to bar 200 and I would not hear anything. I will read entire manual and work with a friend who has the program before I try and sell it. Thanks

I still have not met up with any users that can help me with EZ DRUMMER 2. I hope one day this program makes sense to me. Frustrated…..

[vperri]

I had time tonight to spend 90 mins and same thing happening so I am going to see if an experienced musician in the area can figure it out for me unfortunately he does not use presonus studio one producer 2.

I think my tip would be for anybody thinking of buying a daw and something like ez drummer 2 buy only what someone you know has so they can train you on it unless you are extremely tech oriented. I am playing over 35 years now and cannot make sense of any this stuff I purchased. On top of it the letters and icons are so small on ez drummer 2 and Studio One even with my reading glasses on it is just too hard to see what to do.

[vperri]

I just downloadied 2.02 update right now maybe this will help me. I was using 2.1.1 after download it still states i am using 2.1.1 so I am not sure why.

[vperri]

I am using windows 8 64 bit i5 and studio one producer 2. I am opening from inside the daw (studio one). Preview original tempo is orange not grey so I think it is active. I really do not know how to use quantize so if the EZ drummer comes with it off I would think it is off and all other settings are like when I bought it. I hope this info helps. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your help !!!!!
