Thanks for the heads up chili. 30 bucks and half a bottle of codeine syrup later I can make drum tracks for goofing around. Not bad.

Cool. I think the vocals are a little low in the mix and maybe bring the bass up too. Guitars sound perfect!!! What stack are you using??

Lolz.

I hate that they call everything "grooves".

I know you do.... and in the past I tried to call them other names like midi files, or beats, or whatevers... but grooves seems to stick because people know what I'm talking about.

Oh, make sure you turn down the room mic. LOL.

I did, all the way. That thing is yuck. I'm not crazy about the stock sounds that came with it, but again, it's pretty great for 30 bucks (one kick head is more than that) and I'm looking forward to being able to demo my own songs without having to record scratch drums.

Yeah, the room mic was one of the best bits of advice you gave me a long time ago. I thought it was worthy of repeating here.

Glad to hear you might be able to work it into your routine. As an accomplished drummer and being familiar with something like EZD, you can give us non-drummers a lot more insight into programming drums. That would be cool.

This isn't really "programming" though, is it? I mean, you're just grabbing loops and dropping them in. While I was goofing around with it, I was thinking, "I wish I could drop a crash here". I didn't try it yet, but I'm guessing you can go into the midi event and draw in hits or take em away if you want to?

If you're just draggin and dropping, then it's not programming. I don't remember which DAW you use, but you should be able to go into the midi file/loop/groove in your DAW timeline and edit. Yup, just draw them in; changing velocities and timing a smidge to get a different feel for each one.

I use Cubase. I can open each individual measure and change what I want. One of the things I don't like about EZD is they don't have a typical "Crash-on-the-first-beat" file; I always edit that in.

Oops, meant to say...

I can spend hours editing my drum track.
