    Oh yeah, I’m using the Modern Basic drum kit, but I’ve tried others and they all do it.

    Thanks

    Can you save a project in EZdrummer 2 where this occurs (with the MIDI on the song track), and post it here on the forum? It’s hard to know what’s wrong without testing it.

    Hi Henrik,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I made a video of what’s happening. If that’s not enough, I’ll prepare a project file, though it will open with a shit ton of errors as I’m sure no one has the same plugins that I do.

    Make the video at least 720p in the Youtube settings in the lower right(gear) so you can read it.

    Hey Lee,

    I think what Henrik is asking, is for you to just save the EZDrummer project. In the upper right hand corner of EZDrummer 2 , you see a “Menu” with a small arrow. Select that, save the EZDrummer project (ezdp extension file), not the Reaper file  and post that file, in a zip format, to the forum. That way it can be played just in EZDrummer 2.

    Thank you Brad,

    Here’s the file…

     

    …well I’m trying to post the file, it’s only 144kb, but the website appears to not be posting it. I tried 3 times.  I hit “select file”, find it on my desktop, it appears in the little box, I hit “submit” but it doesn’t post. I’m using Chrome’s latest effort. Weird.

    Is it a zip file?

    .ezdp   That’s the only option for saving project out of standalone EzDrummer2. For mine anyway.

    Ah… right click the file, send to > Compressed Zipped ….

    Send the zip file I think that might do it.

    (I don’t use windows much but I think that’s it)

    So after thinking about this for a while, a fix is I could just use the kick in another drum machine plugin, but I shouldn’t have to do that.  Emphasis is good, but only when the Artist wants it, not when the drum machine plugin think’s it’s necessary.

    And on a soft song like this, it’s downright obnoxious.

    I can hear it in EZDrummer 2. You mind trying this one and listen if it sounds different to you?

    I think I see it. If you zoom way, way in on the MIDI, you can see there’s a kick on the last beat of the section and the first, beat of the next one. I think that’s what’s making it louder. I think….

    So I built the drum song midi twice, the first one was such a mess that I just deleted it and started over. The second time I made sure that any partial blocks were at the end of sections eg. verse, chorus, solo, etc… I didn’t do that the first time and the emphasis’s were falling all over the place, which was highly disturbing. So the second time enabled me to see that it was in fact intentional emphasis on the opening beat. When you play file in the midi finder it doesn’t do that.

    So this is it in Superior 3, you can see the hit on the 1 and 5 (which is 1 of the next section)

    Which Library is it from? I know Verse 0, Radio Rock…. I don’t know the libraries.

    OK. Thanks Brad. You Sir are a Genius. So when I open the midi file and zoom in, it’s not there. But when I drag one of the block copies out of the song, it’s there.  So EZD2’s Song Editor is adding that tiny hit to the midi block.  I’d say that’s a bug.
