I used to use sample loops in Garageband before switching to ez and this covers what I used to love about them. I think if you’re gonna use midi drums this is the way they should be laid out. Very nice! BTW, that’s a great shuffle from the demos.

Looks like Toontrack did it again: A broken link to the place where you can buy this. I can’t even find out what it costs.

I haven’t heard of Ricard Nettermalm. Is he known for anything in particular outside Sweden?
I’m sure he’s a good player, I just haven’t heard of him until now.

You’ll find a lot of stuff (including user guide) in your user download area.
Download the latest version of Superior which features an integrated groove player.
Also, you need to read the ‘Read Me’ at the top of the ‘General Question’ section of the forum…… AND fill out the ‘Additional Info’ part of your profile so people can help you with support.

Hey Whitten,

I beg to differ, there is no manual or any kind of instructions appearing in my downloads area. It is ridiculous that there is nothing available. How can you expect the users to buy a product without even installation instructions? I’ve messed around with this for over a week now. Not impressed

Yes all of the suggestions are correct… and helped me as well, i might say.

When I open EzDrummer either with Solo or my DAW I see the songwriters pack in the list of grooves at the very top. You click on that to see the various sections of a song. It works great. If its not there you have to move the songwriters pack midi files into the ezdrummer midi folder.

There is no manual.

Hello!i’m new..

I was reading on the web of songwriters drumpack and i want to know more..
Basically i need something to record my own songs with a drummer but i don’t want to make drum with midi keyboard.
So does the songwriters pack has played drums that i can match togheter to build a song?do they match well?for example chorus with a tempo verse another tempo and bridge the same or another tempo with variation…does it do that?can i use it with protools?

thank you..be patient i’m not an expert,i’m a novice..

Hi Alessio.

Do you have EZdrummer or Superior Drummer? They provide the sounds for the Songwriters MIDI. Otherwise, the MIDI itself won’t produce any sound, it needs a drum sampler to make the sounds. The MIDI will tell the drum sampler what/when to play the correct drum kit pieces.

Hi Ale,

the Songwriters Drumpack includes MIDI grooves, played by a real drummer and with real feel. It contains around 15-20 songs, divided into Intro, Verse, Pre Chorus, Chorus, Bridge and Fills. Each song part contains around 3-4 variation, and the fills are 10-20 for each song.

The songs are recorded with an actual song in mind, so we’ve tried to keep that feel throughout the the MIDI grooves for each song. You can change the tempo in Pro Tools and the MIDI grooves will change thereafter. You can also of course change the beats however you like, for instance if you want to add additional kick drum kits och ghost notes on the snare.

We highly recommend you using it with Superior Drummer 2.0 or EZdrummer. It can be used without them, but you will just wind up with a bunch of strangely named folders and MIDI files.

Thanks,
