Keep tracks in ex drummer 2 or daw?

[reuben]

Hey all I’m really impressed with ez drummer 2 what...

Hey all I’m really impressed with ez drummer 2 what an upgrade!!! Noob question tho. I’m using garageband for now until I upgrade to logic pro but what is best way to create the drum track in daw? Should I just creat structure in ez drummer and not drag and drop in daw? If I do I cannot make piano roll adjustments on song parts. Is creating the whole song first in ez drummer 2 best and dragging it in daw to after? If so I have to delete in ez drummer or it will play both files at same time creating weird phase issues. When I initially used the demo I was just creating parts and dragging them into GarageBand and they would play and you adjust midi. Now i cannot drag them in anymore without choosing ez drummer in plugins? What gives

I like this, being able to drag it directly onto a track for micro edits once it’s done macro editing as far as you want to go in EZD2.

What happens though if you want to change it again in EZD2?  Can you just drag the whole thing back over from the DAW track, into EZD2’s track? Would it lose any micro edits in the translation?

It depends on your DAW. Some DAWs allow dragging from host to plugin. Cubase, for example.

You can always click the Record button in the EZD2 Song Track and record whatever is on your DAW MIDI track back into EZD2 if drag and drop from DAW to EZD2 isn’t supported in your particular DAW.

I used to do this all the time between Logic and EZD2. I would use EZD2 for its Edit Play Styles and Logic for overall drum programming. What I would recommend is that when you go back into EZ, split the track back into regions so that you are not performing global edits, possibly trampling what you’ve done in your DAW.
