I have a song that’s in 6/8. It’s 147 BPM, as in the eight notes are 147. My host DAW, Reaper, was set up with 6/8 147 bpm, with my scratch guitar track recorded along with the 147 bpm click track. I double checked by tapping along using the tap feature in my metronome app to verify that the song is 147 bpm. I cannot figure out how to get EZ drummer 6/8 patterns to match the song tempo, or even be somewhat close. Choosing follow host doesn’t work (which it correctly displays as 6/8 147 bpm) nor does adjusting it manually. I’ve checked that the “preview original tempo” option is turned off. I’ve tried lowing the bpm manually by 1/2 and 1/3, (73 and 49) figuring that EZ Drummer might define 6/8 bpm by counting by the dotted quarter or regular quarter notes. In general the patterns sound kind of silly and too fast, not the usual slowish serious rock 6/8 ballad feel, if that makes any sense. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? BTW, EZ drummer has worked perfectly in every song that I’ve used it with, having used it a lot lately, although all of those songs were in 4/4.
