Rharv,

Thanks for the replies.

Actually by some stroke of luck or serendipity I have managed to fix issue #1, well I didn't but it is fixed.

It seems that RB crashed and I chose reset to default settings, which in turn fixed the EZ Drummer 2 issue of not loading the old drum track and actually loads the correct one when closed and opened...yay.

As for #2...still no joy but I'm sure it's something really obvious or dumb that I'm not doing or doing. As for the Bypass check box, yes I can do that but I am thinking it should work as all other tracks do when muted, but hey.

Thanks

Tony
