Well, in the example with the Kit and Mixer setup above, you can always Bounce Stems from what you have on the Song Track, which would yield 2 “Stereo” Files, with the first one being the Kick hard panned to the Left and the Snar Top hard panned to the right. I.e., just split that file into two Mono files and you have your files without bussing the outputs.

Well, sort of.
The Classic EZX which has one part of the library recorded as Classic 4Mic, is an expansion for the original EZdrummer (but of course also works with EZdrummer 3), i.e. it isn’t included in the EZdrummer 3 Core product. Please check it out, to see if it may fit what you are going for. The kits in that product are N&C, Craviotto and Yamaha.

The Main room in the EZdrummer 3 Core product offers a ‘Small Mic’ setup and the Tight Room a ‘Basic’ mic setup which may get you there as well. You can just Mute the extra Bottom Snare Mic and Kick Sub Mic, e.g. There are more drums to choose from in the EZdrummer 3 Core package.

The plug-in has got 16 Stereo Outputs which you can route to your host (in your case Logic). Hosts handle plug-in outputs differently and while it is a very simple thing to split e.g. Stereo 1-2 Out to Mono1 and Mono2 in e.g. Pro Tools, it’s a bit trickier in Logic but can absolutely be done. A Mono source is always a Mono source, regardless of whether it is routed to a Mono channel or panned in a Stereo Channel.
I attach a screen shot of my EZD3 Mixer in an example with the ‘Songwriter Basic Small Mic’ Preset.

Hi,

the short answer would be: No.

To give you a longer answer, I would have to understand your question better; are you planning to record real drums with 4 mics and then replace them with EZdrummer 3?
You can always turn off microphones available in an EZX and only use a select few. E.g. ‘The Classic EZX’ has got one recording setup utilising the ‘4 mic setup’ which is what you are after.

What you can’t do in EZdrummer 3, regardless of EZX, is to move microphones around the studio where the kit(s) were recorded.

BR,
John

I am completly dissapointed with Toontrack. I have spent so much money on Superior Drummer 2. I had a little break from music, and now after some time I returned and S2 does not work on silicone Mac. There are no updadates and I cant even upgrade to S3 – there is and cressgrade from EZ but not from S2. WTF!?

Hi,

Superior Drummer 2 was discontinued 8 years ago, so it is not strange there is no silicon native version. However, if you can run your host in Rosetta mode, it might still work.
The upgrade to Superior Drummer 3 was discontinued Dec 31st 2018 but I would recommend keeping an eye out for specials, BF deals, etc.
