Thanks Martin…yea i got enuf understanding of protools now to do that…i’ve had it now for about 6 months. So i guess this edition of EZDrummer doesnt have any endings….thats strange….where all the other parts are there….well, i supose intros are technically not there either but thats easier ….hmmmmmm, in fact now that i think, i think i already did what you said for the intro….just deleting a few hits….yea i got a yamaha keyboard here in China a few months ago too so i can add cymbal hits easy nuf
Ok…
Sounds good Meistro, head on over to avid. Aswell i know since u mention the buffer stuff there is a big yarn about that in their manual and its high time i read that again. I had everything shut down, internet and apps all off. I am on PT LE 8.0.4
I better learn about this buffer stuff. The reason i went with tascam in 2006 was because i didnt think latency was dealt with enuf on the computer based interfaces, but now this is my first try to see if that was overcome…seems there is still a ways to go to make it perfect. So i have to learn how to adjust buffer size to get what i want. When will buffer size be a historical term???? soon i hope.
thanks again…i feel i will be back here soon enuf anyways
The link provided by john is very nice as i mentioned. However, today it doesnt play with just as single instrument track with anything on it. Protools Error message (-9128) says i am running out of CPU power. Says remove some RTAS pllug ins (just ezdrummer used), or increase CPU usage limit in the playback engine dialog??????
If i should go to a protools forum…jus let me know..
By the way, i did upgrade EZDrummer a few days ago, and have over 50G of free space, and 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with memory of 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 (2009 macbook pro)
roadkill moose…very best freezerfill
Right….i remember the salesman in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada…he told me about reaper before i bought protools and EZ. I guess entering this world instead of built in home studios like Tascam’s 2488 and their newer NEO which have …NO…HAD drum samples. Actually, the NEO they pulled the drum samples out, with the excuse that nobody used them. In fact, since the pulled them out, i left tascam. Clearly there was a new industry born. Ok, now i must be the singer, song writer, guitar player, bass player, and learn to 2-finger a keyboard as well….like Linus of “Charley Brown”. I can do it, meanwhile will have a look at reaper.
In my mind, the protool software should not show that the mouse-tapped notes are registering on the meter…it is misleading. But, i know nothing….tere might be a good reason for that.
thanks Scott. U from moose country in Mass??? Cool. Actually i bought my tascam 2488 from a store in NY…online….Boynton pro Audio, had it mailed to canada…awesome deal!
Ahhh, ur the man John! That link you stuck on there…that beamed me right onto a new protools session with the same tracks as the EZDrummer mixer……perty dam cool! No clue how u did that. I am so frikin newbie that i cant even find my floating control panel in protools, it floated away somewhere….and no i do not have a controller yet, ive looked around the China streets here a bit and online and the cheapest seems to be about 300-500 chinese $ or about 32-54 Euro, but not the recommended brands.
Anyways, i did as you say…i didn’t realize EZDrummer automatically showed up in Protools as an instrument…yea…so i drug a few grooves into a new stereo instrument track i created and they play fine….so….ya got me question answered 1st try…which makes you a real pro from Stockholm.
I am curious, i guess this is really a protools question, but why can i not arm the track and record hits on any of the drums or cymbals? When i arm the track with record-ready, you can see the meter rise for each hit, but if u push play-record, nothing records as you hit the drums (with computer mouse). I have seen this question on Harmony central forums and i guess it needs to have a controller….it just doesn’t make logical sense to see it register on the meter but not record.
Well, i sure got a lotta learnin to do…really cuttin into my songwritin time! Think i’ll have a Harbin Snow beer and be happy i have some drum grooves i can play with now….maybe i’ll get drunk and try to sing…as afterall, my last class was today!
Thanks fer the quick answer Dr.
Ok John, thanks. I posted one called “Getting EZDrunmmer working in Protools LE”
I better say i tried dragging some files from the EZDrummer “Sounds” folder on my hard drive, the wav files that are a mostly less than 100 kb. I mean dragging them from the workspace to a new Stereo instrument track. When i start to drag them, they seem to drag ok, but when i release, they just bounce back to the workspace. The looper doesnt turn on and i cant play those files in workspace even on single take.
I can drag the tiny EZDrummer “midi” files from the Midi folder into/onto a new stereo track and it shows as little tick marks on the track, but no sound.
So, this is my beginner’s stupidity level. I have been able to record some vocals, midi bass (draw…i have no controller), and i CAN drag protools wav file loops in (oo yea…i’m soo smart). The difference is that under “Kind” they are identified as “audio files” of about 500kb, with the little green metronome icon. The EZDrummer files under “Kind” are identified as “unknown” if that makes any difference.
Thanks John…i should have said i am in North CHina and cant see the toontrack videos. I can go to that link you give and well……it says there have been 337 views and under the word “Solution:” thre is an empty box and no thread of conversations…not sure if thats suppose to be a video or a bunch of people talkin about EZ and protools.
Anyways, thanks for trying so far.
Ha! I am as newbie as a newbie can B too. Could one of you please point me to any threads that might tell me how to get EZDrummer on to Protools LE? I’m a newbie on LE too….so were workin with just a few hard marbles smackin around me skull here folks.
