Legitimately, if you use this, how long does it take you to create an average song? Any tips or warnings to use with Tascam DP32-SD? I'm not sure I am going this route, but looking for the opinions of users. Thanks in advance.
 
I haven't updated to 3, but I have to assume it is probably better than 2. That being said, there are a lot of good features in 2. I use the MIDI grooves and have purchased some of the packs. I use the grooves a lot and depending on approach I can have the drum parts knocked out pretty quick. I will sometimes add to the drums to give it more personal flavor (record a new MIDI track and route to the EZ channel or add to existing MIDI). I really like the labeling, verse, chorus, bridge, fill and there are some presets for different drum mix.

I haven't really used other drum plugins much, I do find EZ and the SD drums and their MIDI packs very good and very usable.

EZ Drummer 3 is software - how are you going to snyc the drum to the DP-32? In any case it might take days to create a track- it depends on how complicated you want the drums - and how adept you are at feel or programing - but straight ahead drums and not altering much you have a track in about 1/2/ hour.

On average I can have song up and ready in about 20 minutes - then over the next week or so I alter parts - move around the different drums and tweak the feel.
 
Personally, I've modified my workflow to make it so that every drum plugin I use has fundamentally the same workflow. Setting EZD to be compatible with this heavily-customized, template-based multi-routed workflow was in general more easy and standardized than some of the other options. e.g. if an Ugritone kit takes 15 minutes to build the template, an EZD one takes 10. But, once my templates are built, every drum kit takes the exact same amount of time to track/sequence and edit.

Do the templates have the timing of the drums built into them? Meaning sometime you want to push the snare a couple of ticks in front of the beat - and the hi-hat one tick in front - and then the kick locked into the beat -
