    Love this easy audition trick. Haven't made it thru all you videos yet so maybe you cover this somewhere else, but..... one thing that has helped me on the filtering part (I think you start that part about 10 mins in?) - try the right-click to exclude certain types of parts too (to further speed up auditioning). For instance, when you're auditioning for a verse or chorus you might want to try a "right click exclude filter" to filter out fills and endings and intros. Great videos - keep rockin' !!!

    @vovindequasahi Год назад +2

    Great tips and tricks as always, to make the most of this software to improve your workflow. You know when you've got a riff on a Friday night after a few beers? You want to quickly try it out to a real beat section, but you're mind is definitely not in it to compose all of the intricacies of a full drum beat to the song. You want to get something down fast so you can record it in your DAW so it will be there on Saturday morning. This is the way!
    Cause nothing is as frustrating as when you have a great groove going in your mind, a great feeling and VIBE to a riff or two, but you're a bit inebriated and think, "well I'm sure I'll remember this groove tomorrow..." Then tomorrow arrives and it is just GONE.

    • @ShootieSchool
      @ShootieSchool  Год назад +1

    • @michaelpal7641
      @michaelpal7641 Год назад +2

      Exactly!! I get a riff working after a few beers, then find a great hi-hat intro of 4 beats, then into a verse and then play the verse with guitar singing.
      Great-no issues.
      For the "Fill" I'm scrolling thru countless midi's trying to find the right fill to go into the next verse or the chorus or a break. As far as "A bit inebriated and I'll remember this" I record the riff and save the entire session. Next morning I'm like..."Who the frak did this...oh yeaaa...now it comes back to me"
      Sometimes that relaxing trip on the river in Egypt comes to mind-The Se-Nile?🤣

    Hello Shawn,
    first of all: respect for your great videos, the work you put into them and for making them available to all of us.
    I'm referring to the audition trick shown in your video.
    One of the problems you present is that the Audition trick only works with a multiple of the number of bars. In other words, in a loop with 8 bars in bar 9, in bar 17, in bar 25, etc.
    In principle, the idea is to be able to quickly try out or audition different grooves or fills in the context of a song. Right?
    In my opinion, however, this is possible in a different way:
    1. in the song track in EzDrummer (or EzKEys, EzBass, SD), mark the part for which you want to listen to an alternative (for a fill, for example, you have to cut the last bar of the verse and then mark it)
    2. press the "Replace MIDI" button
    3. start playback in the loop in your DAW (e.g. 1 bar before the fill to 1 bar after the fill)
    4. the alternative groove / fill for the marked part in the song track is now played from the beginning. And all this without any offset of the playhead. You can now seamlessly step through the other alternatives using the arrow keys or a mouse.
    Addition:
    For tonal grooves (EzKeys and EzBass) it is sufficient if you only enter the chords in the song track, mark them and activate "Replace MIDI".

    • @ShootieSchool

      Thank you for saying! You have stated the rock solid workflow which is perfect.
      As for the principle you stated, if you added the phrase “as fast as possible”, that is the meaning of this video. If you want the most solid workflow, you have the best answer.

    Hey Shawn, Love it!!!! EZ Drummer rocks…. I am currently working on a project and want to try this technique. But before I can, I have to figure out how to get all the tracks in time. The performers did not play for a quick track.😮😮😮, so I’m trying to figure out how to do this in reaper. I love the videos.

    • @ShootieSchool
      @ShootieSchool  Год назад +1

      This is not something easily rectified. Custom Tempo Maps would be the tedious workflow if your DAW offers it. I know Pro Tools and Reaper can handle it. Haven't tried it on any other DAW yet myself.

      EZKeys 2 is amazing for me personally. EZMix can really help someone who is new to getting tones and effects. I'm a bit more experiences so I don't use it all of the time, but it is a go-to for me for a few things.

  • @ProbablyTooLoud
    @ProbablyTooLoud Год назад

    Happy user of EZD3 except for the stereo only outputs. Having the choice of mono and stereo outs would save time. Yes there are ways around this, but it’s a pain.

      I hear that. It's been this way for so long. I've given up on mono.

  • @michaelpal7641
    @michaelpal7641 Год назад

    Fan-freakin-tastic!! I been working too damn hard. I get a guitar piece..and manually start with a intro>verse drum beat- then I have to look for the right fill to segue into a pre-verse, or chorus.
    Right now, my fills are "off" for lack of a better term.
    So I am building the song the long way around. And now I can do this in EZ Bass simultaneously as well??? As always respect and thanks for your videos!

    Ok that's all well and good but was a measure of thr riff audio what was used to locate suggested beats or how the hell did you just magically pull up beats that fit like that? I'm just making sure I've got the process down step by step. How to find beats that fit my riffs.

    • @ShootieSchool

      The steps are:
      1. Record your music in a DAW
      2. Loop a section of the music
      3. Hit play in DAW
      4. Hit Play on a Groove in the Grooves Tab.
      5. Use up/down arrows to change beats.
      6. Use Filters to narrow your results.

      Ezbass can not detect key. You must know the key and input it yourself before your midi library can play in that key.

    We're going to need Ai to be able to make a beat for use guitar players but be able to follow, make various adjustments to directly follow the riff, which includes fills and what not I don't think it's quite strong enough as it can be yet as far as ability to follow all transients and add fills and a full structure if a guitarist is able to play a full song run through, if thr ai and software is going to be truly impressive it'll be able to adjust and adapt to these variables in order to create much better, freer song structures that aren't so boxy and bland and boring.

    Usually when you make a riff, even in 4/4, in your mind the beginning of the riff is in first bar first note. However it just does not work. That is what I think you are referencing at the end of this video. Usually it is because your riff is what I call a circular riff, and the first note of the riff is not really at 1 / 1 but at the step before it. So just moving the drum pattern a step or two behind suddenly it comes into place. It is strange how we think in circular riffs, but to a machine 1/1 is truly 1/1, even though your first note of the riff begins and ends at 4/1. Hard to explain. That has fucked me up so many times, and I start looking for alternative signatures even though it is 4/4.
    For instance many Led Zeppelin riffs really begin at 3/4 not 1/4. Heartbreaker for instance, has the DAH-dah-dah-dah-dada-dah.dadadadada-dah-dah-dada-dah. The actual rhythm starts a beat after the riff starts.

      Hi Richard. I'm not sure if you're commenting specifically about something I said in this vids or not. I think the right term would be "pick-up" notes, as in what is played before the Downbeat of a measure. Hopefully users have this in mind when they get in the trenches.
