EZ drummer 2 and Sonar

[Gerry_4]

I have a track in EZ drummer 2 that I really enjoy.
I am trying to incorporate it in Sonar X3 but cannot seem to obtain the same sound as the EZ drummer track.
Is there a way this can be done? An exact transfer from EZ drummer to Sonar.
What kind of track should be opened?
I have tried click and drag and I get a different sound from the original. It seems that beats and types of drum sound have been altered or vanished.

Thank you for any help. Greatly appreciated.

Are you inserting EZD2 as an instrument? Try going to the Insert menu/Soft Synth/ and you should see Toontrack in your choices there. Then you would pick EZ Drummer. From there you could drag/drop the MIDI from your EZD directly to the track. Also, make sure you scan your plugin folder to make sure Sonar is picking it up.

Hope this helps you.

Hi John. I am not using it as a plug-in because when I do it tells me that I have no audio.
So I am using it as a stand-alone and trying to drag and drop.
This I can do but, the track shows up in my Sonar, but the sound I get is not the EZD one.
It seems to skip beats and not all the drum sound are there.

Regards

Thank’s

Problem solved.
Was not creating a Sonar track the correct way.
There are two ways to open EZD track in Sonar which will work properly:
A) Simple instrument track……….synth track folder…….synth property page…..synth track view
B) Midi source…Synth track folder….ALL SYNTH AUDIO OUTPUT STEREO….synth property page……synth track view.

With the second way, the kick, snare, toms and cymbals can be alloted their own track.

If I discover anything new I will post it for everyone to see, if there are interested friends.

Regards

Gerry
