Pro Tools 11 and EZdrummer

[btwnthbttns]

I am relatively new to Pro Tools, having a problem with my new EZdrummer software. It seemed to be "playing nice" with Pro Tools 11: I can add EZdrummer in a stereo track and the track levels read the "sound" of the drumkit. However, when I initialize the transport to actually record, I just get a "flatline" on the read out graph and, of course, nothing upon playback. What am I possibly doing wrong? Please excuse my jargon, I am pretty new to Pro Tools and computing. I will say that y'all are always a great and encouraging help. Patiently awaiting any and all feedback concerning my latest matter. Thank you in advance!

What mode is Track>Input only/auto input monitoring in? Toggle it and if that is it then go read the Pro Tools reference guide about what that does. Answer the following clearly if that is not it...

What exactly are you trying to record? Audio? Midi? Do you mean record to the instrument track EZ drummer is on or other tracks? Do you mean Record the audio out of EZ Drummer to another track? Are you record arming the actual tracks you want to record as well as putting the transport in record mode? Post a screenshot of your Pro Tools edit window showing as much detail as possible. Including IO assignments.

You are placing EZ on an audio track. It needs to be on a stereo Instrument Track.

OK, I switched it to stereo Instrument Track. Still no success. Yes, the track is record enabled as well as the transport set to record. I am simply trying to record a drum track from EZdrummer directly onto a track in Pro Tools. How do I know if is Audio or Midi? Will try to post a screen shot ASAP.

Have you setup your output so you can hear anything? and what is your options there?

Trying to record the audio out of ezdrummer onto this track.

Your screen shot shows the instrument track is set to clips. Select clips and select notes to see if that helps. I'm still on PT 9 and not sure if this has changed in 10 or 11.

An instrument track records MIDI and outputs audio from the VI insert. If you want to record the output as audio you need to send the output of the instrument track (produced by EZ drummer) to an audio track. You can set the output of the instrument track to a bus and then use that bus as input on a new audio track. Or you can use a send to a bus. You should read the manual on busses and sends to really understand this stuff.
