Learning these characteristics will help you when it comes time to adjust your gate, eq, compression and de-essing and reverb settings.
#HOW TO USE EZ DRUMMER FULL#
That requires you to learn to turn off the snap to grid function and become very very very familiar with what each part sounds like with very light hits, moderately increasing or decreasing hits and full on hits with the drums and cymbals. But the best thing you can do is spend the extra time on the solo sound and the “in the mix” sound of EZDrummer and the samples with the specific kit. It also greatly depends on which kit you use as well as the type of music you are creating. If you get EZDrummer… spend a little more and get a couple different drum kits, it’s well worth the extra expense.

Here’s the finished song that I’m talking about:ĮZDrummer is a great tool… once you learn how to “think” like a drummer and then start to put in the “human factor” of incidentals and accent hits the real big pitfall to avoid is to use the default kit and not work the track’s audio output or over work it. While setting the quantize strength to about 80% which almost snaps all the MIDI notes to grid, I’ve had to readjust the notes when I do the strumming part. A few months later when I posted my song to the KVR forum, they said that timing is very important, so I’ve had to re-release my song after reprinting MIDI into audio tracks again. That happened to my first song during the one-month challenge when at first I would set the randomize value to 5%, but then I tried setting it to 2% and released my song. Anything more than that would make the timing seem way off. Instead, I would set the randomize feature to about 1.25% or less. I would like to show images, but I don’t want to trip the “your post is awaiting moderation” in your blog. Qtractor (for Linux) has a randomize feature and the last time I tried, setting the randomize value to 5% seems to make timing go way off, even exceeding a starting duration of 64th note. Others would be Addictive Drums, Steven Slate and BFD.Nice! I used to randomize MIDI notes slightly before I print them out to audio tracks for mixing.īut isn’t 10% too much? How far would the notes move within a 10% range? Is it 10% per beat or measure? SD2 or SD3 are on my list of potential candidates.
#HOW TO USE EZ DRUMMER SOFTWARE#
I want go find a drum software that will allow me to work quicker while creating drums that sound real. Creating dynamics and trying to get the midi drums sounding natural is a ton of work! There’s got to be a quicker way of doing midi drums than the way I’m doing it. I don’t like using the prefab tracks that come with the drum software. Right now I create a virtual midi track in Reaper and then I draw in the kick, snare, hi hats, toms, etc. I need to learn how to create my midi drum tracks a lot faster and better than I do now. It sounds much better than the basic EZ Drummer kit.

Recently I’ve been using the free Steven Slate kit. I don’t like the artificial sound of the Alesis/ Yamaha kit and I’m pretty unimpressed by EZ Drummer. In 20 I also did a few song recordings using EZ Drummer. I was recording drums with an acoustic kit between 20 and then I switched to an Alesis/ Yamaha electric drum kit. I think the expansion packs would provide more variety and probably better sounding samples but I’m not sold on EZ Drummer as of now. When I first got it I thought it’s drum sounds were pretty decent but now I find them to be quite weak and limited.
