Loading drum kits in EZDrummer 2 (as an AU plugin) is painfully slow within DP 9 on my system (Mac Pro early 2008, OS X 10.10, 8-core Xeon, 16 GB). In contrast, it is fast as lightning in both standalone EZDrummer mode and as a plugin in Ableton Live! Anyone else having this issue?

I recently purchased a SSD drive to try and speed up the kit-changing within DP, to no avail (although my Trilian bass samples and Garritan Personal Orchestra samples now load virtually instantaneously). The problem is clearly an interaction between DP 9 and EZDrummer 2. Any ideas as to the nature of the problem? DP acts as if it is loading small numbers of EZDrummer kit samples at a time (the progress bar inches forward over 1-2 minutes, whereas in standalone mode or within Live the same kit loads under 7 seconds!). Thanks for any help--trying out different kits is terribly frustrating as things stand presently (and even swapping out individual instruments is taking far longer than it should).

I have had no problems regarding opening EZD, changing kits, eg from Default to Latin Percussion or switching individual instruments in a kit. The only thing I can thing of trying is switching DP between run plug ins in real time and pregen. Reason I say this is because EZD has a confirmed bug: outputs may become mono when the plugin window is closed in pre-rendering mode.

Should have an impact on opening performance, but when chasing the ghost.

good luck.

I have no real problems with loading kits in EZDrummer 2 - there is a timelag sometimes but mostly I choose the kit I want to use and tend to stick with it (ditto Superior Drummer 2) - then the song opens up and that kit is saved with the plug-in and re-opens. But I suppose there is a timelag as the samples are loaded - although you don't have a signature detailing your setup so it's difficult to tell whether there is any problem with hardware or system software.

No problems here either!

I don't have any issues loading kits either.

This is troubleshooting/criticism. Belongs in different forum. Moved.
