Honestly, Tagging I’m not that concerned with it it works for the midi recognition, like the tap2find or song creator. You can always right click and ‘show in browser’ if you’re really concerned weather your fitting groove came from the ‘Swedish samba micro-beats in 13/9’ or the ‘radical rock and rowdy reggae rhythms’ folder. I pretty much dont care where the groove came from if it works.
That is correct – EZdrummer 2 can at the moment only use Toontrack MIDI for the search results in Tap2Find.
Will this please be extended to other user midi? I have mostly all ToonTrack Midi, but a few others that I would really like to be included in similar grooves I’m searching for.
Oh wow, I didnt realize I could record drum hits right onto the track. I was using the record function solely for getting MIDI grooves from the DAW into EZD. Thanks!
I know this will be subjective, but I guess I’m looking for variety.
I already have Pop/Rock! EZX, Indie Folk EZX, Nashville EZX, Pop! EZX, as well as the NY Volume Studio 1,2, & 3 Midi packs, and the Session Drummer Midi pack, as well as some third party grooves.
I was going to get the Music City Midi pack, but now I’m thinking it might be too similar to the multitude of rockish grooves I have with all the above packs.
Can anyone recommend any other Midi packs they’ve been pleased with? I’m considering the BackBeats pack too, but I cant make up my mind!
I also enjoy Jazz, but dont know if I play enough to justify a whole pack when I already have a good few grooves. Not interested in any metal packs.
I guess I mostly play Indie/rock type stuff.
I was also considering one of the ‘songwriter’ packs, but again… cant decide.
Oh wow, I hadnt considered The Classic at all, but those sample grooves sound sexy as hell…. Hmm, I may end up grabbing that one. I was considering Backbeats for a little while, but I do like the sounds of that set. Thanks!
EDIT: Which pack is bigger, between the Classic and Songwriters 3 pack?
I agree, it’s limited on certain things like groove pattern. Sometimes adding in snares or whatever will only put them in the ‘preset’ spots, but you cant place them yourself, and it creates a cumbersome process of putting the groove in your DAW, changing it, then getting it back into EZD, which requires me to record, cause I cant drop it in
Maybe just more CTRL modifiers? Like if you hold alt and drag a groove into empty space, it should delete. Or maybe like a Shift-CTRL click for deleting in the timeline. Somethings got to be quicker than the right click menus
Haha yeah I tried that a bit, it just gets confusing auditioning hundreds of grooves. Maybe I’ll try it out again, I just wanted some input from people who may play in similar styles as me
