Hey, guys! I’m new to the forum and toontrack, in general.
I’m planning on buying the EZmix 2 plus 6 Mix pack bundle, but I had a few questions regarding how the expansion packs work with EZmix 2.
To give you guys a better idea, I have my list of EZ packs down to 7(obviously would have to cut one out) and I plan on recording all of my guitar/bass tracks dry, so I’m relying on these plugins for my tones.
Amps
Lead vocals
Mastering 2
Vocal Toolbox
Randy Staub
Metal
Metal Amps
Now for my questions.
1. If I used a preset from the metal amps pack(or any pack, for that matter) and I wanted to give that track a better mix, could I also use a preset from a producer pack on the same track? Is it possible to use more than one preset for a single track/instrument?
2. I have both vocal packs listed, but is it really necessary to get both? A lot of what I’m writing is heavy and experimental, but still melodic stuff. This stuff may call for some lush choruses and/or harmonies for the vocals. Can I achieve all of these types of vocal effects with one of the vocal packs?
3. I’m using the basic EZ drummer plugin for my drum sounds and I do not plan on getting any drum expansion packs at this time. A few of the producer packs I listed have different drum presets to help the drum sounds, so is it possible for me to get some decent hard rock drum sounds from ezdrummer and presets from one of these producer packs?
4. I’m using Tracktion 4 as my host DAW. Has anybody had any experiences using this DAW in conjunction with these toontrack products? I know all of these plugins are compatible with Tracktion, but advice and feedback from somebody that has used this set up before would be great!
