hey guys. Im trying to figure out a good way to record a electric drum kit on my Tascam neo. Seems I can only plug into one input with these and I would like some more mixing options. Im a little confused if I would be able to use a program like ezdrummer with my kit or not. Thank you for any replies.
 
You didn't mention which sound module you have, but I imagine they all have the same outputs - stereo audio and USB digital. SInce your Tascam doens't have the USB input possible, you would only have the stereo audio. You'd need to move to a computer set up with a DAW to do what you want.
 
i was afraid of that. I believe the module I have is the td-4. I find it easier to record stuff with my Tascam than pro tools...but im guessing by your reply its possible to record electric drums that way. hmmmm....
 
Yup afraid a computer has to become involved in order to use EZ drummer.
 
If you want to use EZ drummer, you need to use the computer and a midi interface. Record the midi data, and the stereo audio for reference, then apply the midi data to EZdrummer. That's it.

I don't use protools or ezdrummer, so I can't be any more specific.

The earphone out is a stereo out; all you need is a stereo 1/4" to dual 1/4" mono plugs to go into an interface.
You wont be able to separate out all the channels, just left and right.

The midi is only a midi OUT, so you can't route midi back to the unit for re-recording any edits from a computer.

It's a basic unit.

Pages 7 and 41 of the owners manual details hooking up midi.

Certainly do-able but it's not going to be flexible.
 
yeah midi confuses the living hell out of me....ill never understand how to use it. Thanks for all the replies. I guess ill just try to make due with what I have.
 
Midi is easy once you figure out that it isn't sound.
 
yeah...reading about it confuses me. Maybe a hands on approach and some trial and error might clear things up a bit.
