Hello to all.
Some quick background: The last time a did solo, home recording was before affordable DAWs and the cutting edge tech was the Alessis HR-16 and a Tascam reel to reel 8-track.
I recently tried a demo of EZ Drummer and was blown away by the sounds and groove. The problem I had was that the preset patterns never worked for what I wanted and I had to constantly tweak individual hits. This became too time consuming.
Archaic as it seems, I missed the old Alessis method of building patterns from scratch (with quantizing if needed) and the assembling patterns into songs. While the drag and drop of presets may be a quick and easy solution for many, I far prefer to construct the entire drum tracks from scratch. Is this possible with either EZ or Superior? I do have an inexpensive trigger pad, but no keyboard. I can use GarageBand, Logic Express or Logic.
I appreciate any help as I would love to use Toontrack products.
Thanks.
