From the Songwriter’s Pack:

Acoustic Guitar with Reverb ///Guitar Acoustic ///Insert ///Hall Reverb Wet/Dry (no audible difference between 0 & 100)
Slap Back ///Vocals ///Insert ///Filter Delay (no audible difference between 0 & 100)
Soooo Vibey ///Guitar Electric ///Insert ///Filter Delay Mix, Inverse Reverb Wet/Dry (no audible difference between 0 & 100)
Dripping ///Guitar Acoustic ///Insert ///Tape Delay Mix, Hall Reverb Wet/Dry, Chorus Level (no audible difference between 0 & 100)
Big Wet Strings ///Strings ///Insert ///EQ, Chorus Depth (no audible difference between 0 & 100)

In fact, I can’t find a preset in this pack where the 2nd control know has any effect on the sound of the preset.

I am using PT 11.3.1, EZ Mix v.2.0.9 (64 bit)

Any consideration you can give this is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,
I’m glad someone else is writing in about this issue. I noticed the same thing with the Songwriter’s Tools EZ Mix pack when used in EZMix 2.0.
Here is the info that I sent to Toontrack support:

HI,
I am using EZMix 2 Songwriter’s Tools in Pro Tools 11.3.1.
I am also using it as a standalone app. When I have any preset selected from the Songwriters Tools pack, the reverb/ambiance/delay knob (the 2nd knob in the interface) doesn’t respond to increasing/deacreasing the amount of the ‘ambience’ effect. It is just always ‘on’, even when the knob is set at 0%. Turning it to 100% doesn’t increase the effect, either.

I have adjusted the 2nd knob (reverb/ambience/delay) in other packs, such as the Core EZ Mix 2 pack and the Mixing Toolbox pack, and the knob increases/decreases the effect as expected.

The reply I received from support was not helpful. I, too, will submit some preset names here from the Songwriters Pack.

Thanks

In the top right corner of EZD2, click on ‘Menu’
Mouse over ‘Sound Libraries’
Mouse over the ‘Kit/Library’ you want
Click on ‘Midi Layout’

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have EZ Player Pro installed and EZDrummer 2 installed, and the midi from EZ Player Pro shows up and works as expected in EZD 2 for me.

I don’t know that an update is necessary….unless there is some added functionalilty that I am missing…

Thanks,

In the Midi Song Blocks edit window, there is a little ‘3 line drop down button’ in the right corner that brings a menu down when you click on it. There is a menu item labelled ‘adjust tempo’ in the list. From there you can tell the selected midi to play in ‘double tempo.’

You can click it a second time to double the tempo of the selected midi again (4x faster than original…)

Hope this helps.

[Greg Johnson]

Yep, me too! I have a few Abbey Road packs…..

I’d love to use the midi from those with my new EZ Drummer 2!

When I purchased my 6-pack, I was given 6 authorization codes that I could redeem individually. Each time I used one of the 6 codes, I was able to choose from any/all of the EZ Mix products. I redeemed the codes one at at time over the course of a few weeks.

There didn’t seem to be any indication of code expiration.

Hope this helps.

ORIGINAL: skiltrip

For you, based on what you have already, and what I have already, I’d take a look at Dorfsman. To me, its a nice compliment to Henderson in a lot of ways. I can’t remember particularly which presets I liked but I was impressed on my initial run through.

I did forget to mention in my previous post that I already have the Dorfsman pack.

It was the only add-on that I purchased prior to my 6-pack. It is really good! Otherwise, it would have been in my top 6 for sure.

ALSO SKILTRIP: I noticed that you’ve got both the Vocals and the Lead Vocals packs. Both are on my list as well. Could you comment on how they compare? I would be interested to know if, in your opinion, one is more suited to “1 guy singing/playing all parts of all songs in his little bedroom studio” than the other….

Or, if they are, indeed, different enough that both packs are necessary…

I will likely get my 2nd 6-pack before the month is up, and finish my list from above. But…..

I would REALLY dig it if there was some kind of MIDI sale (as awesome as the EZ Mix sale) happening…..
I know of 4 or 5 packs that I have been wanting for some time….

Thanks in advance,

GregJ

I purchased a 6-pack from Audio Deluxe yesterday.
They sent me 6 individual serial numbers that I can redeem 1 at a time.
I have redeemed 1 so far.

Be careful not to double-buy anything, as the packs are all available even if you’ve already purchased it.

Hope this helps.

Hi Skiltrip,
I have been trying to prioritize my 6-pack all day. I have read your other posts, and I think we share some of the same music creation aesthetics.

My first pack will probably be Henderson (bass beetle, vocal lennon, and the electric piano settings are of primary interest.) Also, out of the 11 that you posted that you already have, I am looking at 9 of them myself. (I plan to get another 6 pack later this month.)

I have 11 picked out in all, and Dirt made it in – not even in last place.

I have listened to the MGG demos and watched the Toontrack videos made by the guitar players. They seem like nice guys, but I don’t own a 7-string guitar, nor can I play like them, even if I wanted to. I think this is what ultimately turns me off to this package. Dirt keeps the versatility and variety in play for me. So, that is why I would choose it over MGG.

So far my want list is this (mostly in order):

Henderson (purchased, woo hoo!)
Songwriter’s
Vocal
Mastering
Amps
Drums
Lead Vocals
Alternative
Ainley
Dirt
Rock
???

When it comes time for me to fill in the last spot (???), I’m sure I will be hesitant to make that final choice like you.

Hope this helps.

If you are in U.S. follow this link and look about halfway down the page.

3 and 5 packs of midi…

They are additional Peter Henderson Custom Presets.
I picked that pack up a couple of weeks ago and there are some great, damped presets along with some others that I haven’t used as much.

Some producer preset packs come with 5 – this one comes with 9, which is the same number as the PH presets that ship with the C&V product.

hope this helps.

You could try http://www.audiodeluxe.com
They are a legitimate dealer, and you might be surprised at what you find after you put the item in your cart….

I picked up Americana from them at the beginning of the month. My authorization was sent to me within a couple of hours.

Good luck!

Why don’t you download the demo and check it out first hand?

I’m going to do just that tonight when I get home.

Honestly, I’m pretty excited to check it out……
