Thank you! Just started with this and you answered the very question I was having with Tip 2! With all of the awesome features of this program, it's been hard to find any videos that really deal with the basic interaction between the plugin and DAW.
Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Rocco Marley I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
this video was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been struggling trying to find my way thru various software and this channel and this video are EXACTLY what I needed!
You'll probably laugh at this but this relates to TIP-3. I'm currently using 9 different tracks (all EZDrummer) on my latest project, each being for a different piece of the drum kit as some pieces I want softer or louder than default setting allows while maintaining my required velocity (and because I was to add certain effects to each kit piece to enhance their sound and presence). Then I watched your video... :p
Great help thank you; with tip 2, I have no mute option? Please could you advise how it is possible to record the drums as actual sound, if it is possible? Would you have to render each track on its own?
always very informative, I insert both ez and superior drummer in my daw (reaper) and route a midi send from ez to superior. I do all my writing with ez, then enable midi out in the settings to trigger superior which I find better for mixing as ez is pre mixed ( oh I mute ez btw )
Funnily enough, you're the second person that I know of who uses that method. I can certainly see the benefits of working that way, especially if you want more control over the drum samples.
Michael Heslop A friend of mine has been using that technique for a while and swears by it too. Amazing what you find when you're not looking for it. lol
You would have the same thing with the follow host turned off as well though. The midi is still there in both aspects. It just stops EZDrummer from playing ITSELF the same when hitting play in the DAW. The DAW midi still triggers the EZD samples, but its not running the EZD timeline.
Yes but you've got much more comfortable edit notes in midi DAW then in inside Ezdrummer so follow host button doesen't make any sense if you want edit your parts midi drums.if you want use original midi ezdrummer then you right easier is host button follow but for me only in this case
This is great thanks. One thing I don't get is when you drag Midi into your DAW and make custom edits (remove some snares, hits, etc)... ToonTrack help says you can 'record enable' EzDrummer 2 and if "follow host" is selected, you can play on the host and it will record the updates you made back into EZDrummer 2's timeline. I have not got this to work at all. Have you ever done this? I am confused about the workflow. If I am building a song, should I do it ALL in EzDrummer's interface piece by piece? Or just use it as a 'landing zone' for "verse/chorus/fill/ending" and just drag into my DAW and then edit from there?
hey. actually this works just fine. for me it did right from the beginning.. just fiddle around with th input (source) settings of your instrument track. hope this helps.
Is there a way to use both the cowbell and the claps in the Nashville EZD2 drumkit, which I am triggering with a Beatstep Pro? It seems they both use midi number 1 and it's either/or in the kits that don't have a cowbell that isn't in the 3 percussion pad drop down menus.
I still have trouble when programming my own drums hit for hit, (not using samples) getting the 'humanising' to work. No matter what I set it to,.. it always stays at 100% volume. Note- both times I tried I had already had the drums programmed prior to turning it on. Any ideas?
Hello, I am using EZ 2 and I can’t figure out how to choke a cymbal or use the percussion parts. They all say what key they are mapped to but none of them play the sound that they should. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Hi I have a roland td 25 module and I am using also the bt-1 bar connected in the aux of the module my question is how can I assign the claps or shaker to the bt-1 bar with the EZdrummer , it only let me to add sounds of the kit but not the pads witch are at the upper right corner , I am using reaper with ezdrummer in a mac thanks
Ok,thanks for info so i will gonna buy EzDrummer 2 cause for quick set up drums its easier than Superior Drummer,or maybe i'm wrong but i think all factory sounds with ezx its a lot easier,
Yes, you can output to 16 channels regardless of what drum pack you use. You may just end up with blank tracks which you can then either re-route or delete (as needed).
i have a question regarding reaper: if i buy the software but my computer breaks or i end up buying a new one, would i need to purchase reaper again on the new computer?
Sounds odd to me to hear a Welsh man using the American pronunciation for the word 'routing'. For the benefit of American viewers? Thanks for the tutorials. Very helpful.
Instead of muting in tip no. 2 you can press “follow host” button, and transport of DAW will not trigger transport in EZDrummer. Ezy..

@Rocco Marley It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
Thank you for this mate. Opened up things I overlooked.
love using easy drummer 2, i use it for everything, thanks for the tips and tricks
Great video for improving my workflow thank u
Brilliant, thanks. Little things that make a huge difference!
this video was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been struggling trying to find my way thru various software and this channel and this video are EXACTLY what I needed!

Great tips; thanks!
Great. Thanks again. I’m just learning
Some great ideas. Thanks again +ReaperTV

ReaperTV they also can sound quite good together, I accidently discovered tonight haha
Michael Heslop A friend of mine has been using that technique for a while and swears by it too. Amazing what you find when you're not looking for it. lol
As for Tip 2, wouldnt it just be easier to turn off the "Follow Host" button?
Not really cause in your DAW you can modify that midi file and you've got original one in Ezdrummer and for me that's make sense,cheers
You would have the same thing with the follow host turned off as well though. The midi is still there in both aspects. It just stops EZDrummer from playing ITSELF the same when hitting play in the DAW. The DAW midi still triggers the EZD samples, but its not running the EZD timeline.
Yes but you've got much more comfortable edit notes in midi DAW then in inside Ezdrummer so follow host button doesen't make any sense if you want edit your parts midi drums.if you want use original midi ezdrummer then you right easier is host button follow but for me only in this case
I dont even use the timeline in ezdrummer itself. Just drag the midi staight in my daw. Way clearer that way imo.
That's exactly what I mean.
This is great thanks. One thing I don't get is when you drag Midi into your DAW and make custom edits (remove some snares, hits, etc)...

I only see two drum samples appearing in my library under the search menu. How do I get or load more samples
I still have trouble when programming my own drums hit for hit, (not using samples) getting the 'humanising' to work. No matter what I set it to,.. it always stays at 100% volume.
Note- both times I tried I had already had the drums programmed prior to turning it on.

Excuse me what interface we need ? I mean the real device to compute? Is it for windows 7 ok? I have presonus 1818

Im using the drum tracks and putting midi in but they don't sound the same, how can I fix this?
How come you have so many cymbals in ur set??
Hello Paul.You know maybe any option upgrade from Superior Drummer to EzDrummer,usualy its EzDrummer to Superior?
Hi, I'm not too sure what you mean.
Thanks for response.
I've got Superrior Drummer and i want ask if you know any chance to upgrade or downgrade to EzDrummer 2?
wizmos74 Ahh I thought that's what you were getting at :0)
Unfortunately I don't think Toontrack offer that sort of upgrade / downgrade path.
Ok,thanks for info so i will gonna buy EzDrummer 2 cause for quick set up drums its easier than Superior Drummer,or maybe i'm wrong but i think all factory sounds with ezx its a lot easier,
please do AD2 too
davidhaolai sorry, I don't have Addictive Drums.
Just bought ezd2. Right clicking a region in ezd2 within host (logic) and I have no 'mute' option. Any help here much appreciated.
Just click follow host
Welsh?
what if you dont have metal machine, can you still open a full16 tracks or what?
Yes, you can output to 16 channels regardless of what drum pack you use. You may just end up with blank tracks which you can then either re-route or delete (as needed).
ReaperTV ok thanks i got lost!lol ..

i have a question regarding reaper: if i buy the software but my computer breaks or i end up buying a new one, would i need to purchase reaper again on the new computer?
Richie Helf no, not at all. Your license key would be valid to run your copy of Reaper on the new computer.
Sounds odd to me to hear a Welsh man using the American pronunciation for the word 'routing'. For the benefit of American viewers? Thanks for the tutorials. Very helpful.
Force of habit after hearing so many US based videos I guess.. Lol
Wow brits say moot instead of mute wow
No we don't, this guy is Welsh, so it is a regional variation, it's not a moot point! Also for route, we pronounce it root not rowt.
Rout means something different to route (root)
Jesus Loves You
The voice sounds so phasy, what's going on?
