Spikerama,
Thank you for checking it out and replying, I appreciate it! I often got the guitar to scream by using an Ebow.

That is one way out_of missing some of the Hillary versus Trump carnage. 😉 Thank you for replying!

The product you are asking about is rather new. I wouldn’t anticipate it will go on sale soon, based on my experience. If you’re lucky, it will be half price when Christmas approaches several months from now.

John,
Thank you for answering! That is good news. I think toontrack should make it more clear it works with Superior Drummer 2. I think you’d sell more.

Damian,
Thank you for replying! I can’t say I would ever use those particular sounds, but otherwise the EZX sounds pretty good.

notstewart,
After giving me such a kind review of my tune “Down the Avenue”, I figure I should review “Forever and a Day” (by the way I have a song called “Forever Today”). Yes, I have found layering vocals often improves things, and I’m sure it helped your tune: vocals are pleasant. In your tune, I found a certain amount of good humor (and truth) with the lyrics (I’m assuming that was intentional). Guitar riffs and piano are nice. My wife drives a minivan. A likable tune. I hate those Wall Street “corrections”. What is correct about losing money in the stock market? Makes it sound better I suppose. Or good if you want to buy stock cheaper.

notstewart,
Thank you very much! Yes, at times Bowie and the Talking Heads have been influences. By the way, bassist Tony Levin (who has played for David Bowie and many others), and the Tom Tom Club (Talking Heads bassist & drummer) have played at the Key Club before in Hollywood. I played there a long time ago when it was called Gazzarri’s.

Thank you for listening & commenting! I reviewed a couple of your tunes to return the favor. 🙂

notstewart,
Thank you for reviewing my music! I have a tune named “Down the Avenue”. Anyway: “Down the Road”: this mix does not suck at all! Audio quality is very good! Guitar playing & riffs sound very good also. Singing & vocal melodies are excellent! All of the layered vocal tracks help a lot, I’m sure. Very nice song! Since you listened to more than one song of mine I will review: “Pull the Trigger on It”: I don’t like it quite as much (overall) as the previous song, though it is still quite good. I do like the guitars a lot: playing, audio quality/tone, and riffs. Vocals & vocal melodies are good. Drums are working well. Another very good mix in my opinion. Another nice tune! 🙂

Since you are good at reviewing first, I invite you here:

Most likely you will get more reviews than here if you’re good about reviewing others first (especially the C4C threads: critique for critique), though it may take a while to build a good reputation about returning the favor, as a lot of people flake out.

Not sure on that album, but Alex used Simmons drum sounds triggered through his acoustic set more than a lot of people are aware of.

In my experience, a MIDI drum pattern that works with EZDrummer will work with Superior Drummer.

Thank you for replying again. I’m just using Cubase LE4, so I can’t have each piece of drum kit going to a separate aux track in a feasible manner. I figure SD3 is just a matter of time. It seems odd to me EZD2 has features that SD2 does not.

David,
Thank you for replying. The audio demo for The Warehouse did not sound very different than Rock Solid EZX for me. I have never owned any SDX’s.
