EZDrummer 3 sounds in Logic Pro X

[BradleyHart]

Ok…so I’m taking on a bunch of new technology at the same time -new to EZD, upgraded to Logic from GB, and using a Roland TD27 that is about a month old. So there’s a ton of stuff I just don’t know.

Given that, I transferred a song of mine from GB to Logic, and thought I’d lay a drum track, not multi-tracked yet, just a simple stereo track, to listen to sounds/performance before getting into figuring out multi-tracking the drumkit for proper mixing.

With everything audio wise routed through the TD27, I could hear the drumkit I had chosen – a custom made kit – as I was playing. But when I played it back, the performance was there, but it was NOT the kit sounds i was playing.

I know this must be a midi thing, or an EZD3 setting thing, but I’m a little lost because the mapping was all set up with the td27 triggering the right sounds in my phones.

I’m sure there’s just some dumb thing I haven’t done…but if someone could shed some light…I’d sure appreciate it!

Not sure why you would route anything “through” the TD27. Are you using an audio interface? Maybe you were hearing the TD27 sounds, and not EZdrummer when recording.

I am listening to EZDrummer 3 through the headphone jack of the TD27, as well as the playback of the song in Logic…which I guess is just the audio input/output setting on my Mac.  Seems to make sense.  The TD27 is switched to location “off” so as not to trigger any sounds from the module.  I am not using an audio interface, I am connected to my computer via USB from the TD27

You’ve disabled the local TD27 sounds?

“system/midi/basic/local control from on to off to hear VST sounds.”

I have, yes.  Is it possible that it is “letting” me play the EZD3 sounds as I record, but actually recording the audio of a Logic drumkit somehow?  I don’t know the Logic sounds at all….these sounds sounded like the EZD3 sounds, but from a different kit with different mapping.  ie, my rack tom, which I map as the 2nd rack tom for the lower/mid tom sound, was triggering a high tom sound on the recording…

Send a screenshot of your session that show what you’ve recorded to the EZD track. That would answer your first question.

The mapping can always be off a little which needs to be fixed. Regardless, you should still hear the same thing while recording and then playing back. So there’s a bigger issue or oversight.

Sounds like a mapping issue. Check to make sure that you are using the same map. It may be using a different map in Logic.
