Hi taeagan,

Instrument tracks in Studio One are only capable of storing MIDI data. If you want to record what EZdrummer is playing, you need to create a stereo audio track, and for its input select Instruments → EZdrummer (it’s called EZ1 in my instance). Then just arm the track and press record.

An alternative you could do, is simply dragging the MIDI from the Song Track or even single clips straight from the Browser into Studio One, and EZdrummer will play it live in the instrument track. This is useful if you’re not decided that all fills and articulations are correct.

You can always re-record the audio track with the method you’re asking about, so either is fine.

With Studio One, if you want to transform the MIDI in EZDrummer to an audio track, right click the track with EZDrummer on it and select Transform to Audio. I usually preserve the MIDI in case I want to make changes later on.

Hope I am understanding your question.

That’s right! If taeagan pulls the midi into the instrument track from EZdrummer, she can right click it in Studio One and select Transform to Audio Track. Faster than recording in real time, and saves space and performance. Studio One automatically disables (removes) and re-enables the connected instrument when switching a track between audio and instrument “mode”.
