EZ Drummer 2 with Reason 9.5

[Axeman_1]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Reason 9.5. When dropping EZD loops into the Reason sequencer, I only get the raw instruments (kick, snare, hi-hat). All the overhead mics are missing from the mix. Is there a way for me to add these?

Thanks.

While you write:
” When dropping EZD loops into the Reason sequencer”
Did you meant that you drop the MIDI parts from EZD MIDI Track to a Reason MIDI Track?
Please, can you be more clear?

I’m a newbie with all of this so apologies for my lack of clarity but you’re assumption is correct…I am dropping a MIDI track from EZD into a Reason MIDI track. As an example, when using Reaper, if I drop in a MIDI track from EZD, Reaper will automatically create empty tracks for all drum instruments (including overheads) and I can export each to a WAV file to share the project with anyone on any platform.

With Reason 9.5, I can bounce the MIDI track to an audio track but only get the raw instruments (in my case, kick, snare, hi-hat).

Thanks.

Ok.
You confound MIDI tracks and Audio tracks.
I’m not using Reason 9.5 yet, but I’m a huge Cubase user. In Cubase, it’s the same thing.
EZD used as VST in Cubase involve you can trig it from ONE lonly MIDI track, AND in the same time, having many AUDIO tracks to mix all in the audio mixer of Cubase.
But, you have to switch the EZD mixer to route each channel to a separate audio bus.
Please, remember, MIDI IS NOT AUDIO.
I can’t tell you how to do it in Reason for now (I still in Reason 7 for some reasons ;)…), but in Cubase, You need to activate all audio out you need directly on the EZD VST interface. After that, Cubase create each audio channels in its mixer. Then, in EZD mixer, you just have to select each audio outs in bottom of each channel (between digit indicates faders values and channels names). You can rout each channel manually or select “Multichannel” choice.

I don’t know if Reason is automatically create audio channels corresponding or if you have to create it manually.

Sorry if my english is not so good.

To be more precise, MIDI track has no audio but only informations to trigg the rompler/sampler inside EZD.
EZD rompler is playing all samples and affect its via the mixer. A MIDI track/part contain only some binary informations that said for exemple: “Play a C#3 at a velocity value of 114”, “Stop playing its C#3”, “Play a D2 at a velocity value of 51”, “Stop playing its D2”, etc…

The ability to have some “overhead” or other is not from the MIDI protocole, but from the VSTi capabilities.

Thank you Spawn, your English is much better than my French. I understand what you’re saying and I will experiment with this some more later today.
