which of course give me more jealousy and disenchantment. it makes me think it's something specific to my laptop. Aside from it giving me a few moments of painful jealousy and disenchantment (haha). Inevitably, on both the toontrack and avid forums, I'm met with responders telling me that their setup works just fine - EZ Drummer, Protools 11, and Yosemite. in any case - i tried your suggestion - it did not solve the problem.
Superior drummer trial install#
Do the bare minimum install (no expansion packs) and test that. Make sure you try re-downloading the latest EZ Drummer installers from ToonTracks. I really like that software, it will be a pity if they have broken stuff with 11.
Superior drummer trial pro#
Superior Drummer and EZ Drummer have been very stable for me on Pro Tools 9 and 10. And if youv'e been unisntalling and reinstalling Pro Tools and had any third party plugins in place all this time, they will have been there across each install (not if you wiped the system disk and did a clean OS X install however). This may not be related to your problem at all, I have no way of guessing, but doing this is a very useful test. Then put the plugins you need back in groups/individually and see if that works better. When debugging plugins you want to remove all third party plugin files from the plugin folder (just move *everything* out to some temp folder, Pro Tools will put back it's own plugins).
Superior drummer trial code#
All plugins load when you start up Pro Tools, they all get to use real memory and run code and are supposed to behave themselves. I'd hate to buy that and be in the same boat with studio drummer. Man - the toontracks stuff looks like it would be preferable to me to the NI stuff. Instantiating a specific plugin should make PT invoke JUST that plugin, no ? Does this suggest *another* plugin might be messing up the process? that doesn't seem intuitive to me. and then moving just the EZ drummer plugin back. Im a little confused with your suggestion about moving the third party plugins. If it's a memory problem - why does the plugin work with Logic / VST ? and why does the stand alone EZ Drummer app work with no hitches ? I guess it's possible PT manages memory differently than other apps? does something really intensive upon loading up a new instrument track ? but suggested something with modifying/deleting the user preferences, but i followed their advice. They said they could not tell much from the crash log. I have consulted with the ToonTrack folks, and they've even examined the crash log. and am definitely placing it on an instrument track. there were a few occasions where i could not instantiate an ableton live rewire plugin instance - but that stopped being a problem.Īm already using a clean session for each test, built in output, 44.1. Yes - i can open other projects for sure - with many tracks and many plugins. You may get further/faster on the Toontrack forum or with Toontrack support. Try using the Mac's "Built-In Output" as the Pro Tools playback engine. make sure the session is otherwise boring, like pick a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. Make sure you are not testing wiht the same session every time, a corrupt session can easily crash Pro Tools.Ĭreate a new empty session not from template and make sure you are inserting the ES Drummer plugin on an *Instrument* track, not an audio or MIDI track. Try moving all other third party plugins out of the Pro Tools plugin folder (yes third party ones, even those you are not using, actually you can move them all out and Pro Tools will put back it's standard plugins magically, then you can move back just the EZ Drummer one.) You want 8GB minimum, maybe 16 GB if working with video.Ĭan you open other sessions work with Pro Tools OK if you don't use this plugin? Anyhow 4GB really is not enough for many uses of Pro Tools 11.
