help using ez drummer/Drumcore free in GT3

  Hi all, newbie here. I've done a quick search of this forum and couldn't find any help with this problem. I have loaded ez drummer and drumcore free into GT3 as vst plug-ins. The levels show them working fine until I arm for record - then they go flat and nothing records to the track. I'm using my line 6 guitarport as sound card, working fine with guitars. Any help much appreciated. Running windows xp 32bit,

    So it seems these vst's are midi and therefore won't work with GT3. Odd the way they seem to work fine until I want to actually record. What do people use to lay down a half decent drum track in GT3 - aside from a drummer and a few mics....?

    Danster,  do you have them set up properly?  is it recording the midi data but no sound when you hit play?    you have to give people more info for them to help you out.

    You are correct. GT3 did not have MIDI support, so VST instruments will not work. VSt effects are supported.
    While a VST instrument can be inserted in your project, GTP3 has no way to communicate with it. With VSTinstruments(soft synths), you record the MIDI data that is sent to the synth, not the audio output.
    Yes, you can get sound from the synths, but your are really auditioning the sound, and have no real way to work with it.
    You can work with audio drum loops/patterns in GTP3, but from what I've seen it looks like a rather tedious way to go about it.
    I would suggest purchasing any current version of Cakewalk software.
    If GT3 is licensed to you, you may be entitled to an existing user discount.
    Music Creator 6 is an inexpensive download, and supports VST instruments.
    GTP4 supports VSTi's.
    Personally, I would lean toward X1 Essentials for your system.
    There have been a lot of improvements since GT3
