Hey, just wanted to say your videos are great and have helped in a big way. I have EZ drummer 3. What a great tool to use. Thanks man
Great to hear! Thanks for saying!
I have had EZ Drummer forever, but only after watching your videos did it become very useful. Love the anecdotes as well. Keep them coming.
Great to hear! Thank you for saying.
Another brilliant video. Nice lesson too about our egos. We all can learn from each other. Well done Sean 🎉🎉
Thank you for saying, David!
Thank you for this series! Super helpful, I can now harness the FULL POWER of EZDrummer😁👍
Awesome! You got it!
thx for this serie of videos. I haven't used the song creator that much because of my way to write music but this video series really cleared up som things and I can now see me using it in a more productive way. thx a lot :)
Success!! Awesome. Thank you for taking the time to say, Thompa.
EZDrummer should hire you full time to make tutorials for them -- this series was excellent. I really appreciate how you took the time to go through every aspect of the program. I now feel like I have a solid understanding of the program. I also applied some of the stylistic advice given throughout and saw IMMEDIATE improvements in the quality of my drum tracks. Overall, the information was easy to consume and actionable. Thank you for this!!!
Thank you so much for saying, Jenn :) Do come back for more when you're ready.
Great story on ego! As a musician of 40 plus years, I can totally relate. Also, thank you for the time and passion you put into these videos. As a complete newbie to EZ Drummer, these videos have been a massive time saver for me. Rock on brother! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Thank you for taking the time to comment, Bryan!!
Enjoy the no-nonsense get down to it style. I don't have time to putz around waiting for useful information. I am brand new to EZ drummer, and I wish I would have had this tool 40 years ago. I think a paid $1,000 for an Oberheim drum machine in the early 80s and it was pretty archaic, but it was what we had if you didn't live with a drummer. Of course I also wish I had today's keyboards back when the Prophet 5 was state of the art. For those of yo who don't know what that was, look it up!
I started on a Korg DDD1. I know the struggle.
short, efficient, just great tutorials (the 3 parts) allowing your creativity to burst without going nowhere.
Great comment, thank you Jean-Marc!
The chapter on “My song structure story” hit home - your experience of not appreciating the importance of structure at first, and then eventually learning how critical it actually is to an enjoyable song lines up with where I am at right now in my songwriting journey. That is one thing I am looking forward to leveling up with the help of EZ Drummer 3 arrangements tool. Excellent series, thank you for making and sharing this! (It even made me think of the structure of this comment 😅).
Great comment! Thanks for taking the time to say!!! Lol!
Big thanks for making this little series and for sharing tips and personal story on a song structure subject! This will be a tremendous help in my future work. I just wanted to suggest that if someone has a problem with finding custom arrangement folder, perhaps sharing an entire EZDrummer project file with a little side note that says "Make sure to save this track as an arrangement!" could be a good alternative until Toontrack gives us an option to share them more comfortably :D Just a little idea. Thanks again for the great content and rock on :)
Thank you for commenting, MiKey!!! And yeah, that's a great and easy idea.
I'm grateful for this series and look forward to watching more of your content. Cheers!
Awesome, welcome!
Quite informative. I'm really enjoying these videos, so far.
Thank you
Im glad that i ran into your channel. U know how to teach without being boring.. always straight to the point. Ty. Its cool that even though we are not in the same genre of music, these concepts or techniques still apply.
You know it. And thank you for saying!
Great video again Shootie. I never knew you could create your own user parts. Very useful to know. I guess that must work also on EZBass.
Thank you! You can change Song Part in EZBass, but I don't think they have the Custom User Song Parts.
Definitely the best instruction on Toontrack products, bar none. With this power in your hands, videos on other styles of music would quickly widen your audience.
Thanks for taking the time to say!!
Structure is so important! It helps build up intensity and make the song breath in places and helps the audience understand were the intro verse chorus and if you need one a bridge. So tracks don't bridge
You know it, Paul!!
Great videos Shootie! I really appreciate you!
Thank you for commenting, Bradley!
Awesome series of videos. Great style and pace to,your videos. Learned a lot.
Great to hear, Tom!!
Great Job Shawn, your clear and concise videos are a game changer!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to say, Tim!
Thank you for this series
You got it, thanks for commenting!
Phenomenal video with priceless tipps and tricks and philosophie! Thank you!
Thanks for saying!
Great idea, I love seeing others workflow. Thanks so much
Thank you, Phil!
Thank you very much for your videos, I have been watching them all and I learned a lot as I am new using Ezdrummer so it’s been very helpful. I am now dealing with exporting/converting some of the Ezdrummer tracks in my DAW in mono. I mean by that kick, snare, hi-hat… which only are output in stereo in the ez drummer mixer. Fun time 🙂
Thank you for saying and welcome! Yeah, a lot of people prefer mono. These channels have been stereo for so long in all of their programs, users typically get use to it after a while. There's no speedy workaround.
Super useful series, thanks Shawn.
You got it, John! Thanks!
What a wonderful video. Thank you dude!
Thank you, Joshua!!
Thanks for your work! - Great stuff!
Thank you, Chris!
excellent ...best instructional video for SD3 on RUclips!!! ty
Thank you, Mike!
Excellent video man! Really appreciate it!
Thanks for saying!
I just learned more off your three videos than I have in years of watching Toontrack videos.. Thanks! Just donated!
That's fantastic to hear! Thank you so much, I will message you.
This was an awesome series. Thanks!
Thank you!
Hey Shootie, that was great, thank you. I've been using EZDrummer in depth since v1 and I learned a few things here that I didn't know existed. Every day is a school day!
Thank you for the feedback, Leopold! I appreciate it very much.
Thanks a lot! Tgis series got me over the hump with EZ drummer. Ive been struggling the past few months with different things and especially finding inspiration. In addition to helping we with the software it helped get my music back on track which helped me get back on track.
You're awesome. Thanks again.
Glad to help! And thanks for joining as a member, welcome!
Really wonderful tutorials with tons of relevant EZ-Drummer information, thank you! The priceless take away however is your honest and inspirational sharing of the importance of keeping an open mind!
Thank you for taking the time to say, Jeth!
I followed your instructions and added the new Song Structures, I have always been fascinated by these. Thanks for providing an environment to do these...
Great to hear. Thank you for saying!
Hi Shawn, excellent tutorials, thank you so much for all this hard work. You've made the transition to EZD 3 super easy...
Thank you for saying, Paul!!!
Great video series! Very helpful tips and hidden functionalities, thanks you very much!
Great to hear, thank you for commenting!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, you've helped me tremendously!
Great to hear! Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks for all the clips and education. Most appreciated. You're the king of EZ.
Thank you so much, Peter!!!
Hi, I found yours videos so cool to use ezdrummer and i agree, ego isn't good, we have to learn about what's work in song's arrangement from the best ! Thanks for these videos
Thank you, Santadrix!
Thanks for this. You've really helped me with EZdrummer! Thanks again!
Thank you for saying, Nalu!
Thanks brother. Learn something new every video.
Great to hear! Thank you, Jerry!
As ever..... jam packed with the good oil. There is a vast amount of well compiled information here and I would suggest several viewings - preferably with some goals in mind. This completes a great block of tutorials which are very helpful. Song creator is powerful - knowing how to use it makes it even better. Don't be put off by how much there is to absorb.
Great thanks due to Shootie for getting this out there.... huge effort and - a rare attribute - genuine modesty and style.
Thank you for saying, Brent. Your participation the past year has been so pleasant!
Great info! Inspirational. Thanks for the nudge to move forward 🙂
Thank you, Dan!
Just watched you three vids. Great knowledge and pedagogy Sean. Thanks a lot. It will solve my song structure problem. Thanks again ! Just subscribed and will look closely at all your content 😊
Great to hear and welcome!
Starting this at 65YO I thank you for this Series of Awesome Tips that will settle my engineering attitude (wanting to know everything before you actually Start) Out of the gate I have little time to Meander . . .
Welcome, Matt!. Let's do it!
Great info and series. Thank you ❤🎸😎
You got it!
I dont know how I ended up watching this whole series I dont even have ezdrummer3 but for sections like 12:22 (and many more) I got a lot of value out of your stories. Thank you for these!
I can relate about being stubborn about song structure, but it's such a silly thing I am glad to leave behind.
Thank you for saying! I'll check out your channel. I dabble in Reaper for my students and some vid content.
Nice shirt!! Looks pressed! 'I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your MIDI' - Arnold Skynet .....Great video and info!! Your delivery is awesome as always ..I saved all 3 to a playlist to revisit as needed!
HAHA! I'm glad someone got it!!! Hope you're well, Michael! Have, happy father's day, my man!
@@ShootieSchool Thank you!! Looking forward to many more videos from you!
very useful lessons, but also I really like your way of communication, warm vibes)
Thank you for saying!!
Thanks for this. Great stuff!
Thank you!
Love this man!
Thank you!
Great stuff and great channel, dude!
Thank you, Marky!
You are an awesome teacher. Cheers Dude!
Thanks for saying!
Your videos are inspiring me, Simply, you are a great teacher,
Thank you so much for saying, Ron!
Awesome job - thank you!
You got it!
Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for saying, Tinker!
Purchased Drummer 3 because of this video. Very well thought out, extremely informative and EZ to to follow…not mention the presenter was awesome, great job!
Welcome to EZD3! Thanks so much for saying!
This is the best tutorial I have ever seen on anything. You are great at what you do. I wish I could pay you to just sit next to me and catch me up on all you know. Much appreciated
Thank you, Erik!! I do give as much help as I can in my Facebook/Discord group. You're welcome to visit anytime. I do private video lessons. You can contact me on my website if you're interested. All links in this video's description. Thank you for commenting.
@@ShootieSchool Could you give me lessons on FL studio and EZ products?
@@erikdahulk1269 I own FL. But I don't know it well. EZ, yes. FL, no.
Cool series, Thank you, subbed!
Thank you, Michael!
Thanks so much for this information!
You got it, Larry!
Thanks, Shawn. I joined as a member recently and I have been feasting on your instruction videos since then. After watching this series, I figured I better pony up a little more. I watched the Groove3 vids on all of the EZ programs, and didn't get half as much out of them as I got from this one series. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the contribution, Patrick! It goes a long way for a channel my size. And thank you for the comment as well. I've wanted to check out those videos on Groove3 myself, I just don't have the cash to play with. I really appreciate your comments and support! Cheers!
@@ShootieSchool You're welcome. I paid for the Groove3 all access pass because I needed help figuring out how to use the Izotope plugins and, while I was there, I checked out the EZD, EZB, & EZD, which are all done by Eli Krantzberg who does a good job of explaining what each feature is, but the practical, workflow context that you provide is missing. OTOH, Luke Oswald who does the SD3 videos is an ass-kicker! Those are well worth watching. BTW, after watching these, I changed the colors I use to auto-color my markers and regions in Reaper to match the Toontrack colors, just to have a unified scheme. 😎
Thanks for the info. I’m going to steal the Reaper Marker color!!
Awesome stuff.
Thank you, Blake!
Thanks for the great work
Thank you Stephen! That's a great help[!
Not only are your awesome tutorials exactly what I was looking for...you are fucking hilarious.
I laughed hard three times!
Love it, man.
Much thanks
Al, thank you so much for taking the time to say!!!
Thanks. Even though I have just started in song creator, I am learning. I tried to find my EZ3 in Protools, watched a vid, and learned again. Frustrating at times, but mostly fun.
Coleen. In Pro Tools. Go to Setup>Preferences> and look for "Organize Plugins" and change it to "Category and Manufacturer". This will make it easier to find your plugins in the plugin lists.
@@ShootieSchool Hi. thanks. another question: will bandmate accept just vox, no instrument?
@@colleenvarlow8764 It will accept the file, but I doubt you will get what you want from it if you are regular singing. Bandmate is looking for rhythms to detect.
@@ShootieSchool I just wondered, no one said anything about that, unless I missed it.
Very helpful video!
Awesome!
Thank you - Thank you - Thank you - not much to comment just excellent tutorials.
Thank you, Tom!!
Thanks man!
You got it!
Thank you so much
Thank you for saying, Eugen!!!
Nice videos. Thanks.
Thank you, Steve!!
Muito obrigado pelas palavras sobre negarmos nosso EGO e sobre a aplicação das estruturas dos grandes sucessos. Muito interessante mesmo.
You're welcome! Thank you for saying!
Legend !! Both for tons of trick and "EGO"experiences story
Thank you for saying, Moriza!
Thank you
You got it!
Thanks!
7th RUclips donation ever! Thank you for supporting me and mostly thank you soooo much for participating. You've been hilarious and helpful!
i appreciate this very much. i will watchthe 3 videos now.
Idk why i started with the third one lol
LOL! Welcome!
Good advice! Every one at some point has or had a thick skull, myself included. I'll pin this to Shawn's advice, be a good hang! No one cares about your killer chops if you're an asshole and difficult to work with. I've seen shredders fired and average hired because of attitude. Thanks for the helpful video man. Cheers!
You are on point with you comment. Thanks for stopping in!
Jeez..where's my manners? Thanks so much for this mini-series Shawn, you've been very helpful in beginning my journey to hopefully one day be a great composer!
It's like working out. Put the time in and you will get there. Thanks for commenting!!
thanks for the info
You got it!
Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
Thank you, Joe!
Getcha pull!!!
Black toooooooooth...
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There's so many people who make videos that purport to be instructional and that I have to run at 1.25 because they talk soooooo slow and then I'm using the arrow left button all the time to go past their BS small talk... I thought I'd have to do the same with these 3 vids... Ooops - lets shut that speed back down to 1 (even went to 0.75 in a couple of places) and let's leave that arrow left button alone... EXCELLENT set of tutorials - thank you and keep it up.
Thank you so much for the contribution and the feedback!! I have plenty of more content when you're ready. Take care.
Thanks
What a great help. Thank you so much!!!
And thank u. Only had EZ for a week and you’ve taught me a lot. Love the way you explain without all the fake crap so many do. Don’t stop man, we need ya.
@stevehord144 thank you for taking the time to say!!
Are you going to do an in-depth electronic drums video? Thanks for the great content!🥁🥁🥁
You'll see some edrum integration just for a moment or two in the near future. I don't think I will focus on it until after I've covered all of the Tabs/Features first though.
@@ShootieSchool ok cool thanks!🥁
Can you do more videos on how to use successful son structures? This was the best nugget I got out of this.
What is planned is a few, build a song from scratch videos. Do keep your eye out for the notifications. Thanks!
Just like a kid ,we need one more bonus Vid 😆 jk bro ☝🤘 good material man ✌
Wow! Is this ever have a great video with lots of information. Man, impressive! The only thing I find is that I don't see a User Arrangements file in the location you list on the video. However, I figured out how to create it and put the four examples you graciously passed on to us. Thank you! Is creating your own User Arrangements folder possible in SD3 as well?
Thank you, Ron. I haven't investigated SD3 on this yet, but the files are certainly not in the same directory.
Do post your path to your User Arrangements if you have the time, I'm curious.
@@ShootieSchool I agree I can't find the same directory for SD3. Here's the path I took, however, fortunately, I just didn't create a User Arrangement folder, it was done first by adding in a groove, going to Song Creator on the right, and then selecting Song Creator on the left drop down, and that's when I was able to create new arrangements. It's in the location, like you put in the video, at: C:\Users\Ron\AppData\Roaming\Toontrack\EZdrummer 3\UserArrangements.
@@boogybass You know what, I forgot to mention that!!!!. My path is right, but the folder doesn't exist until you make your first User Arrangement. It's so hard to remember it all!!! ahhhh! Thanks for this, I'll at least put a note up. Cheers.
Hi there !
You videos are awesome and really helpful. I just got Alesis Surge and Easy Drummer 3. It's super cool stuff to play and practice. I tried to use it with my students during online lessons, but it didn't work ....
Did you have some issues like this?
Is it possible to use this software with teaching ?
Thank you.
That's a complex conversation. I achieve this with 2 computers, 2 audio interfaces and a free program called OBS. There's a lot of details. If you want to list the gear at your disposal I could try and entertain the conversation.
toontrac k should have done that king of tuto... really
Thank you for saying!
Hi Shootie, thanks for the videos, they have really helped me!! One issue I have is can I export each track as an audio file? I used to do this on ez2 but it seems no one is doing this for cubase. Any chance you have covered this somewhere?? thanks again...Tony
Tony, If I follow you correctly... In EZD3 Main Menus>Track>Bounce>Export. Let me know.
@@ShootieSchool Hi Shootie, thanks for this!! as per normal I had tried this but got the "full" drum kit, Once I understood that you have to click to individual parts it worked perfectly. You are a star!!! now time to burn the midnight oil...........
Is there a way to change time signatures and tempos within the song creator? Thanks.
No, only in the Song Track.
They should develop this concept into a DAW.
Interesting no one has tried to mimic it yet, this feature 15+ years old.
Wow..a lot to take in on this one! Here's my finished track: ruclips.net/video/Fv1Yvj0yz2c/видео.html
Love your intro/outro riff. Great job on structure in general. It seems you have no prechorus which is totally acceptable. You doubled your last chorus. Good work! When you start thinking about mixing, your snare and guitars occupy the same frequencies so your snare is getting buried. Simply make a dip in the guitars EQ to allow that snare to pass through. I think I would have bobbed my head more if that snare was clear as day guiding me. Fun stuff, keep it up!
Please edit out breathing and mouth licking sounds
Thanks for the feedback. Looking for volunteers.
HOW DO YOU TYPE THAT FAST WITH ONE HAND?! BLACK MAGIC?!
LOL
My head hurts and I'm only half way through!😯
I hope you want the preceding videos first!
@@ShootieSchool Great vids, I'm just old and my ears are slow :-(
@@einsteinscat1591 LOL! Thanks!
Shawn, thanks for all the work you put in. I always learn something new 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment, Ean!
Great stuff! Watched all three videos back to back and learned a lot.
Great to hear. Come back for more when you’re ready.
