I need help with EZdrummer

[Donald Sealer]

I have EZD for sometime but I haven’t been able to use it to my benefit.  I’ve viewed videos but I haven’t been able to make it work like I see in the videos.  Here’s my situation.

I have it loaded on my laptop.  I record with Reaper.   So I insert EZD as an fx on a track.  I then use Tap To find but as I try to create a drum groove I can’t seem to get things in time with my music.  What am i doing wrong?  Can someone walk me thru how I should create a groove?

Thanks,

Don…….

Are the hits lagging behind?

• In that case, it may be because your latency is too high (meaning that when you click on the drum, the hit is registered a bit later).
• Check the buffer size, and decrease it to decrease latency. Normally 128 works fine, which shouldn’t give you a latency of more than 20-30 ms.
  • Also, if on Windows – use ASIO drivers for your audio interface since usually it’s the best choice.
