I think it might be my favorite so far or at least just as good as the Metal, for lack of better words the Ainlay presets seem like sensible bread and butter type stuff, I’m satisfied with this one. I also just got the Needham pack too and it’s not bad but I’ll still use the Ainlay the most or at least as much as the Metal.

if you thought the Metal pack was worth the money then you’ll think this one is too, if you didn’t think the Metal was worth the money then you won’t think this was either, but I find it useful.

Awesome, the Metal pack is definitely my favorite so far.  No matter what style I’m working on, I end up turning back to the Metal bass presets.  But yeah, Thanks for the advice man.  I’ll have to pick that one up.

Hey b. sabbath,

Just wondering what you think about the Ainlay presets.  I hear it comes with a pretty big pack of them, but was it worth the money to you?

 Last night I downloaded the Chris Pitman C&V Producer presets as well as the Rock Songs midi pack .  The Midi pack will be very useful, unfortunately, I am not so sure about the Pitman presets.  Admittedly, I’ll need to do more experimentation but “out of the box” I think the presets that came with the expansion pack combined with EZmix give better results.

Anybody else give the Pitman presets a go?  What do you think? 

Next on my list is the Rock EZmix.  Does anyone have an informed opinion on this package?

Thanks!!

I currently have the Metal, Rock, and Mark Needham EZmix packs.  I would say the metal is definitely the most useful of the three.  The Rock EZmix is second on the list, and it’s pretty decent depending on the sound you’re going for and what your audio sounds like going into the plugin.   I think that’s the biggest problem is each pack is tailored to what audio the creator was working with… and depending on your own tracks, it’s impossible to tell which one’s going to work for you…  I really wish Toontrack would work out a way for us to try out an EZmix pack for a few days before buying it, I think that would save a lot of headache, considering there is no way to tell how each pack is going to work with your audio without trying it…

I’m sure if you looked on this forum you’d see my complaint about the Mark Needham pack.  It does not work for me at all, but there may be some people that it’s exactly what they need because their audio is similar to the Audio Mark Needham had going into the plugin. 

Overall though, for me and my mixes, I’d say the Rock EZmix works great for some of the sounds I tend to go for and it was definitely worth the money I spent on it. but that’s just one man’s opinion

the MN pack has 48 and the Rock has 46

Metal – 58
Chuck Ainlay – 68

Good call.  next time I’ll do my homework before I start bitching.

I would still prefer the volume levels be more even with the rest, but I’m dumb.. spot on.

As I did say though, it’s not a bad idea, even just for marketing.
I could see an EZmix Drum Pack selling well.
EZMix bass, or EZMix piano, perhaps not so well.

I don’t know about piano, but I think a bass EZmix pack would do extremely well… it might not be the most sought after, but for me, that’s the number one sound I think about in any song mix.  If you can get a good solid bass sound mixed in with the rest of your instruments, I feel like that’s about 50 percent of the battle.  That’s just my opinion, however.
