I decided to try and download and install Toontracks EZ drumer lite since it was free. I spent a couple of hours fiddling with this program. I registered, downloaded, and tried and tried to install. It would show up in my download folder. I tried unzipping, installing,deleting, re-everything... I never could get X1 to see it. I finally just deleted the whole thing. Forget it, I don't need it.
 
I reinstalled Sampletank 2 free and the free sounds and it wasn't nearly as hard to get sounds out of it... f course I wasn't seriously trying. I didn't bother to hook up to my Octa-Capture but just messed around with lesser drivers and my lappy soundcard, not recording anything, just trying to get the feel of it... at least it makes sounds and I am able to find the free samples. That Toontrack stuff really ticked me off. I get errors everytime I tried to install the 64bit application, it would tell me that things were missing etc... pffft.
 
There is always tomorrow and I will hook up the OC and a midi keyboard. I know that will make things much nicer.

I didn't know they were giving away the EZD Lite - is that directly on their website?

my guess is that you have to patch it for W7x64.  originally EZD and EZD Lite were not x64 compatible and they put out a patch for 64bit.

I don't know where I got it. I assume it came in the X1 box. I found the paper in a stack of stuff. It says: Access your EZdrummer LITE as a download deivery by going to WWW.toontrack.com
Register a user account with Toontrack
Submit the EZD LITE SN on this coupon in the "register your new product section" of your account
Download EZD LITE from the "my products" of your user account.

Then there are instructions on how to Download and authorize.

Everytime I tried to install it I would get errors about things not being in the folder on my computer where it was looking... I just used the default when installng. I don't know why it could not find parts of itself... in any case I cold never get it to work or get X1 to find it.

There is of course an upgrade path...

You might send them an email and ask for the wload if you want it. If you do it and figure it out let me know how to do it.

Thanks,

Julien

Julien,
Did you download/install the patch for 64bit (as Beagle stated)? 

(Without this patch, is probably what's causing those errors you're getting.)

I don't know. I will have to try again and check, I really don't remember. If it offered a 64bit option I would have chosen it but I don't remember. I am a little concerned about Amplitude 3 too. I installed it. It shows up in X1 and standalone but I see nothing about 64bit and the .dll installed in (x86). I'll get it figured out soon though.

Beagle, I was so tired and frustrated yesterday your tip went right over my head. I read it and it didn't even register. Thanks to MEsh for pointing me back to it. I re-read it and now I understand and will try again soon.
 
I am trying to figure out right now if Amplitude 3 is 32 or 64 bit. I never saw an option to install either/or and I cannot find anywhere that it says anything other than it is ver 3.6
 
I'll ask IK how I can tell. It has a lot of cool content though and comes up as a standalone and as a VST in X1. After giving it a good look I think I will get the SVX and Fender as my freebies That should do me until they get the 333 amp emulations going, laff.
Hey, thanks for the advice. I owe you some becan...

OK, I tried again. I made sure to get the latest download. It is a zip file. I clicked it and got some documentation files and some others. I have two install options. I chose the Windows7 64bit installation. Everything went well untill I encountered this, which I cannot copy/paste... ugh...
 
(I am substituting "computername" for the actual name of my computer)
 
Error1311.Source file not found:
C:\users\computername\Appdata\Local\Temp\Temp1_TT106L_EZDrummer_Lite_WIN.zip\TT106L_EZdrummer_Lite_WIN\install\plug.cab. Verfythat the file exists and that you can access it.
 
If it does the same as the last time I will encounter a similar message if I choose to skip and continue, which I wont because I now know it will do no good.
 
I will try right clicking and "run as administrator" this administrator thing in W7 64bit needs some way so that you can set your computer to know that you are the admin and just take care of it when needed. It may not be the problem, I will see.
 
Thanks for any help...

Julien - do you have win7's UAC still on?  I hate UAC, it's a pain in the ark - they made it to "monkey proof" the OS from the monkeys who don't know what they're installing or downloading.  I turned it off as soon as I installed Win7 and that takes most of those "admin" problems away which might be what's causing your headaches.

if you feel comfortable running your system without UAC, then just google "turn off UAC win7" and find the instructions on how to turn it off.

I'll be doing that right now... thanks.

Allright, I disabled that. I decided to try and unzip this file again and I encounter this error:

Error 0x80010135: path too long
15._right_crash_-_crash
Type MIDI sequence
date... blah blah
size 618 bytes

It doesn't say blah blah, just gives the date created or modified.

I have deleted and re-downloaded three times at least. Unzipped and replaced and tried to install several times both 64bit and regular. The SOLO installed on the desktop but immediately told me it could not find a drummer. So I deleted it. I think I am going to just delete the whole thing.

again.. and forget it.
