WHEN do you click “Analyze” and apply the mastering?

I’d say when you’re ready to export the final master. The presets do not store the input data, that would not be practical, since the point of the Analyze is to optimize what the preset will do to the song depending on the input. Make your mix sound as great as you can, then let your ears rest and finally enter the mastering stage.

Hi,

‘Choking’ would be executed via AfterTouch, so my first check would be ensuring that AfterTouch is being sent from the module and reaching EZdrummer 3. If you go to the E-drums/MIDI In in EZD3, there’s a MIDI Monitor in the lower left. Does it register AfterTouch when you pinch the cymbals?

Hi,

assuming you write the drum MIDI in GM standard (most likely), SD3 will play it back correctly. You will not get articulations outside the GM drum standard this way, like e.g. a Rack Tom 1 Rimshot; to achieve that you would need to create a specific drum map for the Toontrack Extended GM layout in your Notion 6 app (which I do not know anything about, I am afraid).

Hi,

tighter integration between the ‘EZ’ products such as what you are asking for would be something for the ‘Requests & Feedback’ section.

Hi again Thomas,

please MIDI map the top X-Tom in SD2 and re-save your Combined Preset. Now it should appear when you load it in SD3.

Hi,
I can’t answer for the hardware setting up but the SD3 software is capable of 3 zone trigger pads.

Hi Laura,

did it work out for you? Your last purchased products seem to have downloaded and activated, right?

Plus one from my side. I am actually wasting the whole night just to uninstall SDX expansions for moving onto another drive. Please give us another way to do … :o)

Hi,
Sound Libraries can be moved and re-linked, no need to uninstall/reinstall them.

Hi Thomas,

I had problems getting everything to work on my computer but it looks to me like the Combined Preset is “broken” but I have asked a colleague if he can have a look.

For best results with Bandmate and Audio files, use cut sections in the same tempo as you are working; e.g. import an 8 Bar ‘verse’ of a guitar/bass guitar with clean in and out points that loops nice.

If you need to trim/align the audio so that the first beat of the imported audio starts at the first beat of bar 1 (or 0); trimming is done by clicking and dragging the ends of the imported idea on the timeline. Snap-to-Grid is turned on by default, but if your source audio or MIDI is not aligned to the grid, you can turn it off with the button under the source track volume slider so that you can trim it with more accuracy.

Hi Alan,

if you right-click the application, select Properties, navigate to the Compatibility tab and check Run this program as an administrator, click Apply and OK to save; doesn’t this make the change “stick”?

For shortcuts, use the Advanced button under the Shortcut tab.

Great, I want to add that if you find things you want to tweak in the included Preset(s), you can do that and save as your own MIDI In/E-drums Preset.
