Avatar druns with ez drummer 24bit or 16bit

[Dean_28]

I purcahsed spd2, but also decided to get ezdrummer 2 after i realized tge ease of use it has for song building. I noticed my avatar library and my othe groove purchases were available for use in ezdrummer. Now if i choose to edit inside ezd2 with avatar drjms frkm superior do they get downgraded to 16bit from 24bit if used jn ez?. Also when bouncing a song out in logic that was recorded in 24bit but the drums are 16. Do i bounce it out as 24 or 16bit?

Yes EZD is 16 bits engine,
I think the other way around is different, the 16 bit EZx stay 16 in SD2 however.

Well,

EZdrummer 2 is actually running 24 bit with newer EZX:s. Older EZX:s, made for EZdrummer 1 are 16 bit.
A newer EZX is also loaded as 24 bit in Superior 2 but you have the option to load it as 16 bit, as you have with SDX:s.

I am wondering if you are confusing the MIDI files with Audio, since you ask about using the Avatar drums from Superior?
Superior 2 SDX:s cannot be loaded in EZdrummer 2 but of course you can use the Superior 2 SDX MIDI files in EZdrummer 2.

If you are working in 24 bit in Logic it only matters what the Bounce is intended for; generally a Master would be @ 16 bit, pre-Masters @ 24 bit as well as Stems Bouncing.

BR,
John
