Ez drummer 3 – TD-17

[Nacho1987]

Hello everyone!

i was looking how other people uses ezdrummer with electronic drums. Looking at the tutorials i dont connect it the same way:

I use ASIO so i can use the headphones from my module. Works good but when i click the instruments with my mouse they sound louder than when i hit the pads with the stick.

another thing is that i cannot change the buffer size. The only option i Can choose is 512 samples with 5.3 ms while other Play with 64 or 32 samples.

 

can anybody help me?

I think this pertains to EZ Bass and EZ Drummer 3.  When I set the auto-scroll to off, (that form of auto-scroll is sometimes referred to as “follow”) apparently the thought is that I still want to autoscroll anyway, especially when the notes being played go off the screen.

Combined with the inability to quickly manage zooming, I have yet to figure out (its only been about 2 hours) how to avoid this interrupting my workflow.  Let me explain – I usually let a track play, or at least let a looped portion of it play, when working on things.

Since EZ Keys and EZ Bass and EZ Drums don’t particularly want to loop using the same loop range, it is sometimes necessary to loop the entire sequence.  Whereupon it is difficult to zoom in close enough to make edits, whereupon this autoscroll thing kicks in (that apparently can’t be disabled with the autoscroll set to off).

So what I think the purpose of this was, was to keep the  user from “missing the part of the  track playing back”.  But when I edit, as a user, I don’t want the grid editor to jump to some place far away from where I am about to make an edit.  Just a moment ago I accidentally deleted a note, only to have the grid editor jump to the end of the song.  Not a big deal, but it does mean I had to remember exactly where that note was, and stop the playback, and navigate back to that  spot.

(Incidentally, and completely unrelated to the above, there is  a little plus button to add a new drum track (which apparently deletes the drum track one is working on, which can’t be undone.) I wish this icon didn’t look like a plus sign, since it is right below the plus/minus signs that zoom in and out horizontally. )

Superior Drummer 3, EZ Drummer 3 and EZ Bass are excellent besides a few workflow deals, so thank you for your fine work!
