I’m using Studio One 5 as my DAW.  I recently purchased EZdrummer 3.  The bandmate option is great but the tempo is off.  In Ezdrummer, the tempo starts off correct but then changes as the song goes on.  I have also tried dragging the ezdrummer midi file into Studio One 5 as a drum track and the tempo is still off.  Notes:  The tempo at the bottom right corner in Studio One for my song says 130,  If I check the tempo for each individual track, they all say 120.  When using bandmate, the suggested tempo says 90.  I’m sure this is the issue but changing the tempos in any of these areas just messes up the song.  What do I need to do to fix this?

Hi there,

Studio One and EZD should both have the same tempo as in the screen print below as well as have “Follow Host” enabled.

Is this the case?

Regardless of the original tempo of the EZD groove, they should conform to the Studio One tempo.

The screen print looks like the standalone version. There should be a “follow host” button preceding the transport controls.

How are you inserting EZDrummer into a Studio One instrument track?

Hi there,

I just created a small session to go over the basics. Wouldn’t be a bad idea if you did the same. Then you should be able to apply what we go over here to your full session.

(apologize if you know some of this, but it’s hard to know where someone’s knowledge level is so I just start at the beginning)

So I tracked a few bars of guitar as audio and a few bars of MIDI (EZKeys) in Studio One V6 (S1).

Then I dragged EZDrummer 3 to an empty space in the S1 Arrange view. This creates an instrument track.

On the right side of the S1 Arranger select “Files”  tab. (If you don’t see it enable Browse on the lower right of S1)

Drag the audio file into from the Arranger into a location on your PC that shows up under the Files tab. (I am using desktop to simplify things… hopefully)

1) Open the EZD3 plugin by clicking the keyboard on the EZDrummer 3 track and select the bandmate tab.

2) Use “Select File” and navigate to where ever you dragged the audio file (Desktop in my case)

At that point you should be asked what tempo you want, although it should default to whatever tempo S1 is set at.

You should also be presented with a selection of loops to try. (It shouldn’t matter what tempo they are defined at in the EZD3 browser, they should conform to the tempo of the session.

Hope some of this helps

BTW I just discovered recently that I can drag audio directly to EZD3 bandmate from S1, however it may be just a Mac/S1 V6 thing as I have not been able to do it before.

Hello.  Thanks for all you sent me.  I’ve already done all of that and the tempo is set in EZdrummer3 to 130 which is the tempo in S1 but the drums are playing way too fast for the song.  In S1. it says the tempo is 130 which I don’t think is correct.  My issue seems to be that at the bottom of S1, it says the tempo is 130.  When I open each track separately, I get anywhere from 120-125 as tempos.  When I drag my song to EZdrummer as a whole song(from the mp3 I created, ezdrummer says the tempo is 90.  This seems to be the problem.  Why there are so many different tempos showing, I don’t know but they aren’t syncing.  Like I said before, any time I adjust any of the tempos to try and match them, it messes up the entire song.  Vocals start before they should, different instruments are off etc.

 

Do you have any other things I can try?

Hi there,

When you open each track separately, which tracks are you referring to?
