Hey all,
I'm fairly invested in Toontrack EZDrummer 2 (just bought my 3rd expansion, anyway) and I was curious if anyone had any advice on how to get the most out of it so that my tracks sound as much like they've got a live drummer behind them as possible. For anyone that's had success with it, would you mind sharing a song where you feel like you got the best results? Also, I'd love to hear about people's workflows and how they use it. For example... I almost never use the internal song-structuring tool or any of the premade grooves, but maybe I should. I've also been back and forth on whether to use the internal mixer or to have everything set on its own track. I think there are advantages and drawbacks to both workflows. Lately, I feel like it's best to keep everything in one track and use the internal tools to get the drums to as close to the "final" sound as you can, before eventually breaking stuff you want to further tweak into its own track. This keeps things nice and clean and "all in one place" during the composition stage, at any rate.
