I often open multiple tracks to compare and adjust.

Even with the update, I think there is still something amiss with EZD 3. I notice that EZD3 doesn't always go back the to starting measure when you start and stop the transport (if go back is enabled.) . Sometimes it doesn't even restart. If I can nail down a consistent issue I will post on the Toontrack forum. But there is little the Cakewalk developers can do about it. If you have a dump file, you can open it in notepad, ignore the gibberish and towards the top end you will find the offending module listed if the crash was in a module/plugin. It looks like this and might give you some indicate on what is going on or if the issue appeared in Cakewalk itself. Sending the dmp to the developers might let them give you a bit more insight to what is happening. Below isn't an EZD3 crash, it's just an example of what's in the file.

When I apply VocalSync, the editor (knob window) disappears . I have to open the editor again . Has anyone found a way to stop this? I don't see why it wants to disappear.

Yeah, some people can't control themselves. Well then support. They might be of help. https://helpcenter.celemony.com/M5/support

New update that appears to work is out.

You might want to post this on the Celemony/Melodyne forum.

From the Toontrack forum I suspect it might be a wait. It appears other DAWs are having issues too.

I've found there are fine subtleties that I can't express in the staff view where I can draw them in PRV. Mostly fine timing.

If you have EZ Drummer 2 still installed, insert it into the project and then replace it with EZ Drummer 3. It works for me. Right click on the instrument icon and then select replace synth (or replace synth on this track or all tracks.)

I found a work around for the crashing EZ Drummer 3. If you have EZ Drummer 2, add it and then replace it with EZ Drummer 3. For me it works every time. So with some playing I determined you can start with 2 and swap to 3 and it works. In addition, I noticed that if someone can add EZ Drummer 3 where it doesn't crash for them and then sends me that file, that file will load and not crash on my system. Good Luck! Terry

You're going to be told to post that on the Melodyne site. Once the developers see the issue isn't CW, they will push you in that direction. It's possible Melodyne might contact CW if they think the issue is in CW. I just updated to Melodyne 5.2 and EZD3 and Melodyne is fine and EZD3 won't work. I'm on Windows 10 21H2 and an i7 processor.

For me, Acon VST3 works fine on my Win 10 i7 system. But I think you summarized it nicely.

The three I know of are using ASIO (and all different) but that is interesting. I wouldn't expect the driver to be involved with just adding the VST but it's all certainly a complicated process.

Well, yeah.

What's concerning is that they don't work on several DAWs. It's just not Cakewalk having the problem. I don't understand how this got by the testers.

Of course. The error is the standard memory violation: c0000005. Seen one ... Changing the Exception Severity just makes Cakewalk blow it off but TT EZD3 still crashed with the violation. The fault is in EZdrummer 3.vst3.

There is something wrong with the new EZD3. Who's fault it is is pending the finger pointing session. EZD 1 and 2 still work fine.

I'm getting a crash on EZD3 also. I submitted a ticket to CBB and Toontracks.

I'm getting and instant crash when trying to add it to new project or existing one. I submitted a ticket.

I am getting a crash of EZD3 trying to install it in an empty project. If hangs up CW if I try and install it on an existing track. Dump file is 6.2MB so I can't include it. I submitted a ticket.

We all ask questions like this at one time or another. Join the club.

'puters.

Can you be more specific? I am not sure what "Charge" means here.

That's a good point. I forgot about that.

If they are not selected notes they will be grayed out. You can still edit them though. For a test, go to track view and select the clip. The notes in Piano Roll should now be highlighted and not gray. If you scroll away from those selected notes in the clip, they will be gray.
