Things I have learned traveling this long journey. So, I devised that concept of *FREEZING* a computer in a perfect working state for drums to avoid The Dorks from Redmond and all the companies that make the necessary adjustments to said DORKNESS) It's total freakin' insanity is what it is and not sustainable. it's just on and on and on with these tech companies. Why do they do that? And, of course, Toontrack has to come out with a patch or an update or a library update or a sound update or a patch or a MIDI update to fix what they just busted. There's many, many reasons for this (not the least of which is the G*DD*MN Microsoft updates to Windows that BUST EVERYTHING every two weeks. And then dedicate that machine to nothing but writing and recording drums on that isolated machine. Get everything working flawlessly and then remove that machine from all connections to the web of any kind. It's a concept I devised and should you achieve a level that you are happy with of: - creating the drums - then move it to a dedicated machine with NO INTERNET ACCESS whatsoever. So, that's why I mention the 'freeze' idea. At this level, it's pretty much a non-stop, daily event to keep all the packs and libraries and MIDI and program updates found, downloaded and updated. it's quite maddening at this level to keep everything 'updated, patched and cross-program configured' with EZ Drummer 2 and EZ Drummer 3 as well as Superior Drummer 3. Ideally, I'd like to take *ALL* of what you see in the screenshot and *SNAP* it on to a computer that has only one function: Drums. As you can see in the screenshot, it is extensive, and very nearly comprehensive. After a couple of years chasing this, I finally got to the finish line.
