Count In

[jonhenri]

I created my own count in and it’s too loud. I lowered it by double clicking the track and bringing the snare volume to nothing and it’s still too loud.
I’m using EZDrummer 2 on a Mac 10.6

Just so I understand – did you lower the snare hits by decreasing the Velocity in Edit Play Style (that opens when you double click a song block on the song track)?

This is one way to create count-ins:
– Open the Search Tab, in the “Play Style” filter column select Count-In

– Chose any of the files that shows up and drag it to the Song Track
– Double click it to enter Edit Play Style
– Drag the Power Hand sign to the drum you wish to play
– I often use the snare’s sidestick. When you have dragged the Power Hand sign to the snare, click the menu arrow button on the Power Hand sign and select Sidestick.

If you change the Velocity in Edit Play Style on the lower right corner to -127, it should get very quiet.

I used the snare’s sidestick and lowered the velocity to -127 and I find it’s still too loud for live performance unless there is a noisy crowd, but to play to listening crowds, it’s too loud.
I didn’t know about the softer instrument count ins that you have such as hi hats but I would still like tapping sticks. Having played pro in rock groups for ten years that is would I am used to.

thanks
