Hi guys, just wanted to let everyone know the recording process is a new endeavor for me and at this point Im really just trying to sort everything out. Im currently evaluating Reaper and once the evaluation time is up Im thinking that I'll go ahead and purchase.Also, I just bought the EZ Drummer plugin.When I try to import a drum groove into a track a window comes up saying Reaper error, unable to import track.Just trying to figure out If I have everything set up properly.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The way I use REAPER is like this:

Install EZ Drummer, remember where the plugin .dll file is put. Then start reaper --> options --> VST and make sure you've got the right location(s) selected. Then restart REAPER. Now I like to go to insert --> virtual instrument on new track. Then click EZ drummer(Dfh sampler it says here). Now I just go to open grooves, I select a groove and drag'ndrop it into the top track that was just created!

"When users have reported this problem in the past it is usually because they are running 64-bit Reaper, either with 64-bit EZ Drummer (which is beta, and does not support drag/drop to Reaper) or 32-bit EZ Drummer (which must be run in the Reaper bridge, which does not support drag/drop to Reaper)."

Perhaps the above is the problem?

Once you get EZ Drummer going you are gonna love it smile.gif It's the best thing since sliced bread IMHO. Also, if you play a lot of Rock and Metal, be sure to get the DRUMS FROM HELL expansion pack. It's killer. Drummers from incredible bands have put beats together for it and it's just great. They are midi tracks so you can tweak them once you import them as well.

Okay my computer O.S. is 64-bit Windows Vista, So I downloaded the 64 bit Reaper version. Im not sure which bit version of EZ Drummer I have either. How would I find out?Can I download a 32-bit version of Reaper,and would it work with the 64 Bit version of Windows Vista?A little confusing.Just hope I can figure this out, and not have to send the software back.

It doesn't matter what EZ drummer version you use, just but sure to download reaper on 32 bit. Most 32 bit programs will work on 64 bit systems. Give it a shot.

Okay I downloaded the 32 bit version of reaper.The problem Im having now is that EZ Drummer is not in its list of plugins.Would I need to reinstall EZ Drummer?It seems that wouldn't be necessary since EZ drummer VST plugins are in the same folder on my C drive.

I'm glad you solved the issue. EzDrummer is really most useful plug I use. Generally its smart to install 32bit version of Reaper as you just don't need the 64bit version. Also many useful plug ins don't have the 64bit version out.

I use EZDrummer, but I heard very cool drum sounds from addictive drums too.

Don't forget to install some MIDI grooves for EZDrummer, they can mean a lot for quick song composition. After that, you should edit them of course.
