EZD 3: Is Bandmate good with discerning Bridge/Verse and other song sections ?

[Ian_SAfc]

With the new bandmate feature in EZD3,  is it good at looking at audio you dragged in and suggesting different grooves when it discerns a pre-Chorus, Bridge, Verse etc.?

Or, does it just look at the whole audio and suggest one groove ?

My initial response to a question like that is almost always,
“Give it a try. See what happens…”.

My 2nd response is that I would typically break the audio into different sections (pre-Chorus, Bridge, Verse etc)
and feed them into the algorithm individually, one-at-a-time.

Thanks…

By the way, has the $79 upgrade ED2->ED3 window closed ?

The $20 discount on the $99 EZD2>EZD3 upgrade was available until EZD3’s May 3rd release date.

Hi, I’m still learning the new product myself, but my approach to your problem is (maybe there are better ways)

After loading the audio in Bandmate and EZD lists some candidate sounds, you can trim the loaded audio section and the drum sounds to get the section you want to work on (eg. 8 bar chorus, 8 bar bridge etc) to choose a best option. Then right click on the MIDI selection and “Select containing folders in grooves”. Then you get grooves in the same family that have compatible options for Bridge, verse, fills etc to experiment with. Very clunky indeed.

Interested to hear how others are doing this.
