Like you said in your initial post……
They list the ‘fx’ included on the product page (eq, compression, transient designer), and the ‘fx’ have been widely discussed here, including the lack of reverb.
So even if the use of ‘fx’ is arguably misleading, it isn’t that hard to find out what the actual ‘fx’ are.

[Whitten]

Hardware eq’s and compressors generally reside in the ‘fx rack’ at major studios.
FX really is a common term to group eq, compression, as well as phasing and reverb etc…
they are also often called ‘outboard’.

if i can’t fix that i HAVE to get EZDrummer to be able to use EZX’s (just ordered another two expansions)
…double kick in the balls! 🙁

That ain’t going to happen.
If you can’t get help here, seek tech support.

[Whitten]

I understand.
I would only disagree that one is older and the other ‘following’.
They are two separate and current products, designed for slightly different uses.
As a Superior owner, the only reason to own EZdrummer itself would be for a faster, easier workflow, or for a more easily portable drum sample player.
Those are benefits, not downgrades from Superior.

[Whitten]

Back in those days it would most likely be 14″ A Zildian, possibly but less likely Paiste 2002 or 602.

The biggest contributor to the sound on the record is 1) the room, 2) the mic, 3) the eq/processing and 4) the drummer.

Hi-hats don’t generally have such a strong character trait, so anything middle of the road should replicate the sound as long as you use eq and have the room sounding right.

[Whitten]

I don’t think so.
There are some great discount deals going around right now though.

[Whitten]

I think you download the EZX first, then when you launch it it goes through the authorization procedure and that’s when you need the serial number.

I don’t use v-drums

Neither do I.
Nor do I use cubase 5 on a windows 7 platform.
Sorry.

I suggest you look around the forum before deciding Toontrack customer service is negligent.

Thanks,

And should those inbalances be corrected or minimized?

For me it’s all a matter of taste.
I like the room to sound like the real room that was used, and the kit to sound normal, panned as per real drums.

[Whitten]

L & R do match except for the NY legacy 2 pack where room was asymmetrical.
And there will be a real world inbalance in certain situations, like for example a crash placed above the hi-hat being struck, or ride over the floor tom.

[Whitten]

Or it works inside Superior (if you have that).

To be clear, you need either the main Ezdrummer or Superior products to use any EZX expansions.

[Whitten]

Half price is a bargain for a great sounding sample set!

[Whitten]

I guess it would depend how the cymbals were initially sampled.
When we recorded Custom & Vintage most of the quieter cymbal crashes were played with the stick tip on the body of the cymbal. That’s the sound you are after, and is found in the C&V set by triggering cymbals with very low velocity hits (127 being full volume/velocity, 20, 10 or below being a low velocity value)

[Whitten]

Have you tried using very low velocities from your midi?
