Mixing is…mixing. It is combining sounds together (drums, bass, guitars, keys, vocals, whatever else). The geniuses at Toontrack, however brilliant they are, have no way of knowing what instrumentation you are using when ‘mixing’ the EZD2 drums. They can’t hear your bass to make their kickdrum ‘fit’. They don’t know how your guitars sound to mix their EZD snare ‘fit’ in your mix.

So, yes, if you feel it necessary, you should mix the premixed EZD2 sounds to fit your mix. If not, that’s ok too.  

Oh, sure. I was just curious to know how much further mixing do you guys (anybody reading this) do… I wasn’t asking about advice about a specific mix I’m working on.

I wonder if some of the more experienced users just leave it the way EZdrummer is or tweak only in the EZD2 mixer. Sometimes I feel like I overproduce things by mixing it with the EZD2 mixer, then doing more mixing work outside it, in Pro Tools.

The best way to deal with this situation is to disregard the key and simply go by how well it sounds in the mix.
