I have Pro Tools 10, and plan to purchase EZD2, along with EZX expansions before the sale ends…My music often encounters mixed meters. Even Pop/Modern Country uses bars of 2/4 occasionally. Anyways, I like to create a Nashville Number Chart for my simpler songs. This lays outs the form. We are concerned with Tempo, Key, Time Signature. Anyone of these factors can change at any point in a single session. I like to then prepare the session with markers, but particularly important is when there is a Time Signature change, a new measure is created and possibly the next measure returns to the initial Time Signature (measure of 2/4…)
Will EZD2’s Song Creator (as a plugin) reflect the Time Signature change and correctly bar the measures in my above example, or will my drums now be displaced by 2 quarter notes in the plugin’s Song Creator midi lane? Pro Tools can do anything with time, but I’m trying to avoid the piano roll for the songs that don’t just use 1 time signature throughout.  

Maybe I can help, new purchaser of EZD2.

For changing time sigs, I drag the MIDI blocks from EZD2 into a MIDI track on my DAW, and make it work there. For example, if my song is mainly in 4/4, and that is what I told EZD2 the sig is, but there is a single 5/4 bar: I just drag the 4/4 MIDI block from EZD2 to my DAW, which leaves the 5th beat “empty”. I then fill in the extra beat in the DAW one of several ways:

1) I duplicate/drag the MIDI in the previous 4-beat bar (in the DAW) to cover the 5th beat of the 5/4 measure, then just snip off the end that “sticks out” into the next measure.
2) More often than not, a fill would sound just great there, so I drag a 4-beat fill over to the single empty bar in the DAW, slide it to the left so the last bit of the fill covers the empty space, then snip off the first 3 beats.
3) Multiple other ways to get it done!

I recommend editing in the DAW – it’s a whole lot easier and more powerful than doing it in EZD2, IMO.

Hope that gives you some ideas!
