EZ Drummer2
Hi all-
PT 2020 on Windows 10. I've downloaded EZ Drummer 2 (trial) and on its own that seems to work as it should. But. It does not show up in my audio suite>plugins list; and when I drag a clip from EZD into my PT timeline, it plays but sounds like someone playing drums on a piano. I've created audio, instrument and midi tracks and the result is the same. How do I: "Register" it as a plugin with PT, or Simply drag tracks to PT? |

Second EZ drummer should show up in both your real time and audio suite sections under (Instruments) (hint IMO best to select to have PT show plugins as both "Category" and "Manufacture" PT may simply not have scanned EZD as a new plugin. Try closing PT. trashing your PT preferences, and then launch PT again and see if EZD shows in plugins. Not sure what you mean by dragging a "clip from EZD to PT timeline" ? If EZD is not showing in plugins do you mean you launch it standalone ? Give some detail exactly what you are doing and how you are dragging from EZD and what you are "dragging" (audio or midi file ?) into exactly what kind of track in PT ?

Re: EZ Drummer2
Thank you.
Yes, I open EZD as standalone. Create a pattern and put it in the lower box then drag from there over to the timeline. I have shut down PT...I'll try again after work, and provide more detail. |

Regardless I suggest : Before you launch PT again, trash the preferences first. That will/should trigger a rescan of plugins and hopefully cause PT to scan and Load EZD which should solve your problem. I don't use EZD or Windows so I cant be more specific

Re: EZ Drummer2
EZD2 doesn't show up as an audiosuite plug in, insert in on a stereo instrument track. Dragging and dropping the MIDI from standalone to a track that doesn't have EZD2 inserted on it will render interesting results. Uploaded graphic as to what I meant.

Re: EZ Drummer2
Some things to consider:
1-(in case you are on Pro Tools First)only 3rd party plugins that are gotten from the Avid store work with PT First(as far as I am informed). I'm not sure of where you got your demo version. 2-Virtual Instrument plugins(like EZDrummer2) are not designed to be used in AudioSuite. They are designed to be used "live" as an insert(usually on a STEREO INSTRUMENT track). Midi note on the piano roll trigger the sounds in the plugin. 3-midi notes can be placed in a few ways, including: A-drag the midi loops from the plugin's library and drop on the INSTRUMENT track(be in GRID mode so the loops will snap to bars). B-drop midi notes on the piano roll with the mouse. C-record midi notes with a midi keyboard or trigger pad device

Re: EZ Drummer2
Thanks very much for the screenshot. I saw immediately what you had explained; it seems to be working properly now, at least the quick thing I just did.
Thanks for the help. Now to continue writing. |
