does vegas 7 support ez drummer?

[krmkse]

i wanted to buy ez drummer the other day from guitar center. luckily the guy didnt just throw the box at me and ring me up, but explained i would need another program along side ez drummer to create drum loops. and since guitar center has a no return policy on software i couldnt buy it to see if sony vegas 7.0 accepts vst. i know it has midi on it but again i am unsure as to if i would be able to use ez drummer along side vegas 7…….i see sony acid works with ez drummer, and sony vegas is sony acid only way better. can someone help shed some light on this for me? 🙂

Sony has a forum.  Maybe join that one and ask how it’s working?

yeah your right sony does have a forum…and they only talk about acid. nothing that mentions whether or not vegas works….maybe another suggestion?

Bummer.  I thought for sure you’d find your answer there.  If it was me, I’d find a host with an active user base.  Heck, buy a Cakewalk SONAR product.  They have a very active forum.  Most users on their forum seem to enjoy talking about the product more than using it.

Vegas is a video centric product, not a dedicated Audio sequencer. In other words Acid and Vegas are like hammer and screwdriver… you would not use one in place of the other 😉

… so I doubt it has VSTi support, but you would need to research it for a definite answer. Regardless, it is not a supported application (meaning it is not tested with) so using Toontrack software with it would be far from recommended, even if it worked on paper.

no mention of VST instruments, only FX in the mixer. I would not expect it to, given the scope of the program however, but I thought I’d check and post, to save you pursuing an avenue that is unlikely to be worth the hassle.

As a occasional user of Sony Vegas, I can tell you that it does NOT support VSTs.

I actually had the exact same question. So to clarify, having “VST Plug-in effect support” does not equal support for VST instruments such as Superior Drummer?

From the Sony Vegas feature list >

“
VST Plug-In Effect Support
You can use effects to manipulate the audio components of your project. The included audio plug-ins can improve the quality of the audio in your project or create unique sounds. Vegas software supports additional DirectX and VST effects from a variety of vendors. Audio effects can be applied to all events on a track, to busses, or as assignable effects.

correct, effects and instruments are totally distinct things.
