connecting sound to external amp/speaker

[riccidaligdig@gmail.com]

hello all,

i have ez drummer 3 installed connected to my alesis surge edrums kit via usb type a to b, and the sound that comes out through the speakers is still the alesis module but when i click on the drums on my laptop, the ezdrum kit sound is the one that plays through the speaker. am i missing something during setup?

EZdrummer version: 3.0.6
Operating system: Windows 11

Hi,

while I’m not familiar with the Alesis Surge kit, I am pretty certain that you need to configure the drum module to not have the internal sounds active if you use the module as your sound card/audio interface. In other drum modules, there’s a LOCAL=OFF setting.
Apart from that, you need to go into the Audio/MIDI Setup of EZdrummer 3 and select the surge as the Output for Audio and make sure there’s a check mark in the Surge MIDI input box.

BR,
John

i have the same drum kit.  i connect with the midi directly to my Mac and from the Mac headphone jack to my amp.  i did not configure the drum module at all.  Hope this helps.  I plug my headphones directly to the headphone jack on the amp. My issue is that the sounds coming out of the headphones are excellent but i find when i listen without headphones and just listen on the amp speaker the sounds are not as clear.
