What is the ideal setup to connect and use the EZ drummer for a gig. What is the best way to get a best output as like I hear in headphones. Below are my setup
I use , EZ Drummer 3 , Mac pro M1 connected via USB to VAD 706 kit with TD50X Module. Typically I use the audio out jack from MAC or module headphones output connected with a XLR out cable route it to the PA . I have Roland PM200 Speaker. I am not happy with the sound , it is muffled and not punchy enough as I hear in headphones. I also have SD3, But never tried it for PA. Any detailed setup or videos would help.
Thanks
Dilip
Just some thoughts.
Imagine the high fidelity/details you hear with a speaker inside or over your ear. Also acknowledge there’s no room sound in headphones. Headphones eliminate the sound of the room your speakers are in.
I’d say having access to an EQ will help you get the headphone tone you like if you have decent speakers. Two powered JBLs work just fine for me edrumming on my own in a small room. If these speakers are close to me, I hear less of the room I’m playing in and it will sound tighter.
A quality powerful speaker(s) would be needed in a bigger venue. You have to compete with the ambience of the room for a “tight” sound.
If you’re playing venues, I would just bring an audio interface with TRS or XLR outputs and feed the sound engineer the left and right lines (however many you can provide). Let them deal with it.
All headphones sound different and so do all speakers. Depending on your standards you need a basic or an elaborate EQ to compensate and a quality enough speaker to output what you want.
Last thought. Two powered 15″ JBL Eons in a church with 70 foot ceiling sound awful during sound check when I’m 80 feet away from them mixing. Come show time with 100 people standing in front of them, they sound great. It’s all about dealing with the room and situation.
