EZ Drummer 2 and Existing Projects
Hi;
I use Sonar X3 Studio.
I recently bought EZ Drummer 2 upgrade from EZ Drummer 1. I am impressed with the program but I chose to remove it for now and go back to 1 because of problems with existing projects I made in EZD 1.
I bought the upgrade to not only work on new projects but also to try new some of the new features of EZD 2 to enhance the older projects I made with EZD 1. I found when I ran the existing projects some of the other plug ins I ran became muted. On one project some horn sounds I made with the Aria Player for Garritan Jazz & Big Band would no longer play and on another project even the SI Bass guitar (part of Sonar) was muted. Upon going back to EZD 1 those muted instruments again played fine.
There was also a linking issue. When I opened EZ Drummer 2 I would get an error message saying something about this is an older version. The newer version can be found at C:Program Files (86)/VSTPLUGINS. Even though the .dll file was at that location the error message continued to come up and I could not use some of the new features of EZD 2.
Gave up. Uninstalled EZD 2. Sweetwater could not refund my money, so I'm out almost $100.00. I'm thinking about trying again but I need some answers. The guys at Sweetwater tried for hours to help me, even accessing my system remotely, but are baffled as well. Anything you could suggest I would appreciate.
Thanks
John B.
