    Hi,
    I installed Ezdrummer 2 last night and it works perfectly fine but one thing which is nagging me is the installation location of the Ezdrummer's presets. All the packs (maybe the graphics) have been automatically installed to C:\ Program Files\ (See the attached pic for reference). *yes*

    When asked for the installation location, I redirected it to C:\ Program files\ Toontrack for the main application.
    For VST (x86) - C:\ Program files(x86)\ VST Plugins
    For VST (x64) - C:\ Program files\ VST Plugins
    For VST3 - C:\ Program files\ Common files\ VST3\ Toontrack

    Here are my two questions:
    Q1. Where should all those folders go?
    Q2. Where is the Midi library located? I have some Groove Monkee Midi Library and the previous library of Ezdrummer. When I run the setup it asks where to install, what path should I redirect it to?

    Hmmm,[​IMG]

    Ok,Is there anything in them? I ask because those same folders are in 2 places.One is empty folders the other not.

    On mine I have all of those same folder names give or take a few in Libraries/Documents\Toontrack\EZdrummer\PresetsEZX or
    C:\Users\"Your PC Name"\Documents\Toontrack\EZdrummer\PresetsEZX(That's the same location btw),but they are all empty folders.

    Those same folders also exist(Not sure if that's the right word) with all the graphics and sound data in them at C:\Program Files (x86)\Toontrack\EZDrummer

    I installed all the expansion updates that I had expansions of as well.It installed all of those in wherever the default locations were for the older ones I believe.

    I had and have Superior installed long before this,so I don't know if that is any different than having EZ1 installed beforehand or not.And the VST locations are exactly as you listed.Other than on mine it's
    VstPlugins instead of VST Plugins in x86 & X64
    (I'm sure that makes no difference,pretty sure you probably know where your VST's are installed :rofl: )

    And my midi library is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Toontrack\EZDrummer\Midi

    Hope that helps :unsure: I may have messed up the wording a little

    Hahaha.. I got your point!

    but there's nothing in Program files x86. No Toontrack folder!

    Okay! I got the whole thing now! *yes*

    I moved all that folders into C:\Program Files\Toontrack\EZDrummer\ and then opened Ezdrummer 2, it gave me an error "Sound library not found" with an option to manually browse for the library. I redirected it to the this location C:\Program Files\Toontrack\EZDrummer\ (where I moved the folders) and it again gave me a warning notification to Move the files to C:\Program Files(x86)\Toontrack\EZDrummer but I clicked on the option "Use this path instead".

    If I'm not wrong, x86 locations are kind of accessible by x64 but not vice-versa. So if your moving your library into x64 folders, keep it in mind that you can't use it within x64. :wink:

    I'm a fool! The midi library is missing! :rofl:

    Don't mean to add my problems to Mix_To_Master's, but i am having trouble with the only the Reggae and Made of Metal being the only two midi libraries that i have to choose from after i tap to find. I used to be able to see all my midi libraries but now nothing. I don't know if it's the same problem that Mix_To_Master is experiencing. Please help me. That is the feature that drew me to ezdrummer 2.
