Because a Keebler elf could pull off good sounding drums on a kit like that?

Yeah, and I've spent a year trying to figure out how to mic my real kit. :mad:
 
Here's a drum solo I did using the BFD lite version (it was included when I purchased the ProTool LE and the MBOX)



PS: Thanks to Jason Welch for the MIDI and EQ lessons

very nice. :cool:
 
I now have EZ drummer, the expansion didnt come yet.

It certainly is easy. :D I have done two songs already. Its very good but very limited. It doesnt have much variety and there isnt a whole lot to mess with. Is there anything better, but easy? :D

You will only hear me say this once, ever, in your lives:

Money is no object :eek: :eek: :D ;) I need the best drum samples there are, period. Anything else I should be looking at? Superior?

David, the amount of pre-done rythms is much larger with the DFH Xpansion pack. Wait until it arrives...also, you can use the internal mixer, and re-route drums to different channels if you are looking to change the sounds that way. If you want more flexability, get DFHS....you do all the midi work, whether it's drawing in the pianoroll by hand, or using a keyboard. It has 5 or 6 different kits, and all are fine tuneable, as are mic placements and bleed.
 
Thanks Ed. :cool:

Good, this will help. Too much of the same in EZ.

Did that. It was the easiest software to figure out that I have ever owned. :cool:

Is superior compatible with EZdrummer?? Well I guess it has to be, since EZ does lay down a midi track. I could lay down the midi with ez then use superior to play the track. Couldnt I?? :confused:

If the drum maps line up between the two it would work. If not, there are ways around it.

Arent drum maps fairly standard? The drum maps work with my Yamaha synth, so I assume they are. Its pretty amazing stuff, EZdrummer and expansions are a good buy just to have all the patterns. It should be EZ :rolleyes: to use any sound set you wish.

I don't think the ezdrummer layout is exactly a gm map but maybe superior isn't either. Depending on the types of hits you use you could run into some snags. Being that both superior and ezdrummer are made by the same company, they probably have similar or identical drum maps. I think superior allows remapping any way so it should work either way.

You do know that the superior stuff is raw where the ezdrummer samples are some what precooked? Also, all the options over the samples in superior send some people running. :p

Does that mean that the Superior samples are not processed? :confused: I will wait til I get some expansion packs for EZ to see if they fit me needs. If not I will get superior as well.
 
yes. if the superior samples are anything like the bfd samples, it's a lot of work getting them to sound good and gel in a mix. you may have more experience in drum processing/mixing though.
 
I haven't found an easy way to drop a pattern from Ez-Drummer into DFHS....it might be doable, but I haven't really spent much time on it. In DFHS, I use a drum map that Metalhead pointed me to, and just use Ez-Drummer as is so far. I have built some pattersn in Ez-Drummer, so I can make samples to practice my acousric drums to. It's not hard to make patterns.

looks like you could use the ezplayer to drag and drop ezdrummer's midi files into superior's midi track in your recording app.
 
I only Have EZ drummer + EZX,
[Show off mode:ON] Here's a little thing I did when I first got the program. To test it and see how it works.[showoff Mode: OFF]
