Journeyman

woodenboy, I've been using the plugin with Logic 7.1 with none of the problems that you mention. You probably don't want to hear this, but it sounds like the problem is with your individual system. I suggest that you ask for assistance in the Celemony support forum. They've always been very helpful.

Anyone?

Agreed. What good is using VBR if it isn't universally compatible? Thanks for the explanation. Love this site....

...and VBR stands for? (sorry for the newbie question).

I'm not trying to be an idiot, but based on this thread, I still have no idea what the EZ Player does. If you have Superior 2.0, why are you not using it as an AU plugin in the normal fashion? What is it the EZ Player brings to the table that using Superior 2.0 as an AU plugin does not? I hope you can clarify this for me. I'm an EZ Drummer user (contemplating the upgrade to Superior 2.0), and I've never understood what the main function of the EZPlayer is. Thanks.

Toontrack is about to release a great sounding trad jazz drumkit as an expander for EZDrummer. Hope you can wait a bit longer; they haven't stated a release date, but they have posted a demo that sounds great.... http://share.toontrack.com/daniel/teasers%20new%20ezxs/2.mp3

Don't you risk losing all your customization with the next Logic update?

Two suggestions: 1) Make sure that you've got the most recent update of EZDrummer. 2) Contact Toontrack Tech Support at http://www.toontrack.com/forum/

Nice new feature! Thanks!

Is that the case in version 7 as well?

Two points: 1) VSL is different from most other libraries in that it is sampled without room ambience, so that you can customize it to your own needs. Most other libraries have room ambience (reverb) as part of the sample, so you're stuck with what they give you. You could always add more, but you can't subtract. Additionally, since VSL is a very large library, the samples that you get in the Jam Pack are just a small subset of what VSL's full package provides. So if the articulations in the Jam Pack don't sound realistic to you, perhaps you are in need of articulations that aren't provided in the small subset that Apple gives, and you may also need to customize the effects to taste. 2) No one has told the original poster how to access these Jam Packs in L8.

Recommendation: Do what I'm doing and only use Logic 8 for new projects that you're starting from scratch. You're gonna have to learn it eventually, but not at the expense of pre-existing projects.

It might help for you to specify what genre you're working in.

Thanks for the clarification!
