I have a 30 some track song consisting of EZdrummer tracks, vocals, guitar, etc. on a computer that I am worrying will crash soon. I purchased a new PC and installed studio one and EZdrummer on it and would like to transfer the song from my old PC to my new one. Not being super computer literate I am wondering if someone could be so kind as to provide me with a step by step procedure for moving the song onto my new PC. I am assuming it has something to do with using a USB memory stick which I have. Also, I don't need all of the 'takes' from the vocals, guitar, etc. moved over (lots and lots of takes) but just the most recent take from each of the tracks moved over. Thanks so much in advance for your help.

I would suggest that you transfer everything and once in the new computer, you can delete what you don't need, to ensure that everything gets transferred click on Song>Copy External Files and then just simply copy the folder to the USB stick.

Thanks for the reply but I must be doing something wrong.... I select Song>Copy External Files and a window opens that says 'Do you want to copy these external files to the Media Foler?'. At the bottom of the window it says 'yes' 'no'. In the middle of the window is a path listed on my C drive with no way to change the path to go to my USB stick. Not sure what to do?

What the Copy External Files does is it puts any audio file you may have dragged into the song into the media folder where all the audio files reside for the song. Once you do that your Song will be ready to copy to the USB stick.
Find the song folder on you hard drive and simply drag it to you USB stick and it will copy the whole folder. The folder where your song is located will have a song file, media folder etc.
Any time you creat a new song you'll want to create a FOLDER and name it as the song name, this way your recordings , song file, media folder etc is always in one folder. Just make sure you Copy External Files as well if you have dragged things into the project. Studio One doesn't automatically store those audio files you drag into the song unless you tell it to using that function
1. Copy External Files
2. Now go and find the FOLDER which has the song in it on your HD, drag it to your USB stick and your done

Thanks shanabit, for helping, sometimes I forget that not all people knows everything about Studio One.
Cheers.

Thanks for the information as it was very helpful. However, I don't mean to go on but I still am having problems. The following is a summary of what is happening to me
1. I have a song on my HP Vista laptop that I want to transfer over to my new Toshiba Windows 8.1 laptop as my HP is getting kind of flaky on me.
2. I downloaded studio one and installed on my Toshiba along with Ezdrummer
3. I followed the procedure to get my song onto a USB drive from my HP laptop
4. I start up studio one on my Toshiba and get the following messages during the power up sequence: 'Failed to open speakers (2 - Audiobox USB)!' and a message right after that saying 'AUDIo Playback is Disabled'
5. When Studio one comes up I load up my song from the USB stick and get the message:
Missing Devices
Device/Port Used by
ezdrummer 6 - ezdrummer
ezdrummer 7 - ezdrummer2
ezdrummer 8 - ezdrummer3
6. I try to play the song that is now loaded in studio one and there is no sound.....
Any ideas
Thanks again

I have an update from my previous post.
I was told to download a new driver for my AudioBox USB that is for windows 8 and it worked! My error messages reported in step 4 were resolved and I now have sound so step 6 is also fixed.
However, I still have one last issue and that is step 5 - I still have no drum sound and still get the error described previously in step 5. Getting so so close but not sure why studio one doesn't find my ezdrummer software....
Again - any help is very appreciated as I am not a computer type person. Thanks

Thanks Luis for the reply. Before I make any changes I want to tell you what I have on my Toshiba laptop running windows 8.1
1. I downloaded and run studio one 64 bit
2. in the path c:ProgramfilesVstPluginsToontrack exists just one file (ezdrummer.dll) and no folders
3. in the path c:Programfiles(x86)ToontrackEZdrummer exist numerous directories including EZX_Americana, EZXCocktail, EZX_Nashville, EZX_Percussion, etc... and each of these directories branch out into more directories and files
It appears that I may have a hodge podge of 64 bit and 32 bit things going on. I assume that since I use the 64 bit version of studio one that my ezdrummer stuff should all reside in the c:Programfiles directory structure and not in the c:Programfiles(x86). Before I do anything though I feel that I should check with you one more time before I really screw up my ezdrummer stuff.
Thanks again for your help.

Click on Studio One Preferences>Locations>Vst Plugins and make sure that the path of your plugins is in there.

5. i cycled through all options but only saw options for the following

I'm showing you the menu on the Mac but it is the same for Windows.
When you press [Ctrl]/[,] the menu that comes up looks the same in Mac and Windows.

Your problem is that you are using either the free version or Artist,in those versions you can't use third party plugins,
that's the reason you can't see the VST Plugins section.
You mentioned that you wanted to transfer a song which contains EZdrummer tracks, so I don't understand whats going on.

I think that's the best option, as you can see in these screenshots the option for Vst it's not there,like I said I don't know what's going on.

I had an issue with a third party plug-ins presets not being installed in the correct location. I moved the presets to the correct location, where the plug-in searches for presets, re-opened Studio One and still no presets. After some trouble shooting (repairing disk permissions, etc.) and verifying in another DAW the presets were working correctly I knew I was missing something in Studio One for this to be resolved. I then refreshed the plug-ins folder in Studio One 3 and viola! All the presets appeared.

To refresh the plug-in directory, Under Effects right click in the browser and select 'Refresh'.

Now whenever updating plugins or changing any associated plug-in files location I refresh the plug-in directory after installing the update or moving files. If you ever have a plug-in preset or update issue you may want to try the Browser Refresh function.
