[SOLVED} ez drummer 3 does not output drums on mixdown mixcraft 9 pro
I just recently bought ez drummer 3 for use with mixcraft 9 pro studio. There are no issues, while working in the daw, works flawlessly. However, when I go to export a finished song to mp3/wav format, there are no drums on the final mixdown.
Has anyone else had this problem or knows why this is happening. Thanks for any help

Re: ez drummer 3 does not output drums on mixdown mixcraft 9 pro
Thanks for your reply. I don't think that's the problem. In the DAW, being Mixcraft 9 pro studio, it records the drums just fine. It's when you go to mix it down, it seems Mixcraft can't process the ez drummer 3 file. I recorded a drum track in Reaper and it exported the ex drummer 3 file just fine.
I also tried Neurton 4 in Mixcraft and it worked fine with 1 or 2 instruments but crashed the cpu, when I added drums and bass.
I could and am probaly, wrong on my 2 assumptions above but it's what I'm going through using 3rd party plugins in Mixcraft 9.
Thanks for your help, Acoustica Greg!

Re: ez drummer 3 does not output drums on mixdown mixcraft 9 pro
Hi,
Lots of people use EZDrummer 3 in Mixcraft. Try my suggestion! More specifically, try mixing down to a wav file that has the sample rate as the one you're using in Mixcraft's Sound Device preferences.
I'm making this suggestion because some plugins can't handle sample rate changes on mix down. It might not even be EZDrummer, it could be some other plugin you're using.

Re: ez drummer 3 does not output drums on mixdown mixcraft 9 pro
Hi,
I assume I have the same problem. The MIDI-track I want to get an output with EZdrummer from just stays silent in the mix. No matter if I use WAV oder MP3.
I also tried to copy the track to a completely new file and mix it with the settings in my preferences. It always stays silent in the output track. Just all the other instruments can be heard...
After the mix (and upon start of mixcraft) the track with the EZdrummer VST also ist silent again. So I choose a different VST and than rechoose EZdrummer to be able to use it. Is that normal?
I installed EZdrummer on my second PC where it works fine and I dont have any issues.
I have no idea what else I could do.....
I would be very please I someone had an idea...
thanx!

Re: ez drummer 3 does not output drums on mixdown mixcraft 9 pro
Hi,
Try mixing down to a wav file that has the same sample rate as the one you're using in Mixcraft's Sound Device preferences. For example, if you look in Sound Device preferences, and you're using a sample rate of 48000 Hz, then you should mix down to a wav file with that same sample rate. Click Edit Details when you go to mix down to find the sample rate options.
Why? Because some plugins don't work correctly if the sample rate changes upon mix down. It might not even be EZDrummer, it might be some other plugin in the project.

I frequently have a problem with EZD too. Although V2. It just won‘t play. It plays as soon as I open the Virtual Instrument control surface (still MX level) that invokes the GUI.

There must be at least one empty midi clip on the track, otherwise EZ Drummer will not start during playback. Maybe it has something to do with that.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I already tried this. I can´t choose WAVE driver on the computer with the problem just ASIO. With the on working, I choose WAVE and the EZ are in the mix...Acoustica Greg wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 12:55 pm Hi,

The track was there.
It‘s a sissy.

Re: ez drummer 3 does not output drums on mixdown mixcraft 9 pro
Hi,
The suggestion about mixing down to the same sample rate applies if you can hear the desired audio before you mix down, but it's missing in the mixed down file. Just to clarify:
In ASIO mode, click Open Mixer to see which sample rate you're using for Mixcraft.
Then, when you go to mix down, click Edit Details, Specify Setting, then Configure.
Greg
In this example, I'm using 48000 Hz in Sound Device preferences, so I want to mix down to a Wave file with a sample rate of 48000 Hz:

Windows audio settings are in System > Sound > More sound settings. Make sure asio device is default and settings match in Properties > Advanced.
For the record, I've never had an issue with EZD 2 or 3 and I use them a lot. I'm sure you'll find the cause, hopefully a simple fix.

Re: ez drummer 3 does not output drums on mixdown mixcraft 9 pro
Did anyone ever discover a fix for this? I'm still having the same issue in Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio [Build 596] with EZ Drummer 2.2.3 [Build 31795] 64 bit. Whenever I drag a selection across the timeline and export to .wav, all tracks but the drums are audible in the file. However, when I solo the drum track with the same timeline selection, the export is fine and the solo'd drums are audible.
I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 set to 44100 Hz 24 bit for both playback and recording.
The project I'm working in has the same bit depth and sampling rate.
The export settings are set to the same bit depth and sampling rate.

HI,
Try it with Mixcraft 10.5 build 618 (check for updates if you don't have it yet).
If it still happens with build 618, go into Mixcraft's General preferences, click the option to zip up the log files, then submit an Acoustica Support Request and attach the log files.
