Can't drag and drop midi clips from EZ Drummer 2

Post by critter0107 » Sun Mar 23, 2025 2:40 am

Using Live 12.1.1 and I've been unable to drag and drop midi from EZ Drummer 2. Any one notice this problem or have a solution?

Thanks!

Windows or macos?

If Windows, are you running Live as Admin?

You're not alone.

Using the standalone app seems to be a workaround.

What does Toontrack have to say about this?

Thanks for the workaround, not ideal but something.

The last update to EZ drummer 2 was in 2022, so I think something changed on the Ableton side.

Similar issue with Addictive Drums. Ableton acknowledge that as a bug (see last comment).

It wouldn't hurt if you also report your problem.
