Hey guys I have EZD2 with metal! and metal machine.
I find that I write very diverse music with different time signatures and tempo changes. From punk beats to blast beats to orchestrated theatrical rhythms etc. Perhaps supreme drummer could have been a better idea for me? Anyways, I find that most of the beats I have are ones I really wouldn’t use. There are a few metal and upbeat nofx punk beats that I would use in an early Avenged Sevenfold / Pantera style (think Sandblasted Skin), but aside from that I’m having a hard time finding beats that are something I’d actually like to use in a more alternative rock direction focused more on traditional / radio friendly song structure.
I really am looking for beats more similar towards Thirty Seconds To Mars (The Kill / Beautiful Lie) or older Three Days Grace (Riot) and I find that the radio rock beats are just straight beats and are quite boring. I know you can add hits and I have a midi controller on the way to just midi in my own, but would that then for the most part render my purchase nearly useless?
I know you can add hits and record over a beat to add more if you need, but I feel like the whole browser and song builder function have no benefit to me if I’m using a custom beat. Is this correct?
Is there a midi pack that has similar beats to what I’m looking for and would then benefit me greatly?
Thank you kindly for the help
Dee
