Hello –
I am using EZD3 via my TD27 kit to record drum tracks into Logic (as a MIDI track) and then bouncing them in Logic to audio files.
I am new to doing this. I am going to be sending the tracks as stems to a producer to do mixes.
The files sound fine to my ear…but they look very small compared to my vocal takes and other keyboard/live percussion tracks. I have had EZD3 set at 0 db (flat) when bouncing and exporting.
Should I be pushing the gain a bit when recording the MIDI (will that even make a difference?) or when bouncing from MIDI to audio in Logic? Or do you even think it’s a problem?
Don’t go by how the waveform looks within the DAW. Send them to the producer as is to mix. You can provide him with a rough idea of how you want things to sound, but don’t do any final processing for him.
It’s also possible that your other tracks were recorded too hot. However, it is hard to tell without seeing the project.

If this worked… this is the snare drum (green) and an audio file of a shaker track I did with a mic…
Snare is fine. Shaker is rather hot. Transients are at the point where they should present issues. Digital recordings don’t have to be that high.
