I always use multi-out EZ Drummer (if by that you mean one MIDI track but separate audio tracks for each drum sound). I have not had a problem with that in the past.
I opened a project I had created with EZ Drummer 1. It worked. I clicked EZ Drummer in the synth rack to try out some of the new sounds and, of course, got the new EZ Drummer 2 GUI. At that point, several of the VST instruments stopped working.
One of the frozen synths would not unfreeze.
I have not had this level of problem before EZ Drummer 2; however, I have had the chronic problem of opening a Sonar project to find that the Ins and Outs are suddenly screwed up.
Are we saying that the workaround is to split all the instrument tracks and check all the MIDI and audio routing?
I truly do not want to do a system restore but I will if that's what I have to do to get my projects back.
