How do I put together drums, piano and bass into one melody?

[Ketil Ervik]

A short time after I bought all these programs, covid19 came, and basically did not get to test all this. So I’m new to making a tune with all three programs. I have learned the most important thing about ezdrummer but never got on last year. Now I have finally started again and will make arrangements for my own songs.

How do I put together drums, piano and bass into one melody? will keep the acoustic, so it will be to save the finished result as mp3.

Do I have to do this in Reaper? or can i do this only with ez programs? I need some simple howto here to get started. How to load ezdrummer, ezkeys and ez base into Reaper? How to sync all three programs? or do they do it automatically?

That about ezmix, use i this to mix song after all its redy?

I made drums for the first song, but so far I came.

I lock att this video  https://youtu.be/bXRpl5tX9wg  and I get this done in Reaper now:

After loading your Toontrack products into their own tracks in Reaper, they will sync automatically to Reaper’s tempo/grid. Yes you have to use a DAW for all programs to sync together. Reaper is a DAW.

“That about ezmix, use i this to mix song after all its redy?”

Use EZMix at any stage, to record with, mix with, master with. No rules.

It’s hard to know exactly what you’re looking for with your terminology. I will take a guess though. Learn how to use the Song Tracks in your Toontrack products. After loading your Toontrack products into Reaper, put midi files in the Song Tracks of EZBass, EZKeys, And EZD2 and then hit play in Reaper… they will all sync/play together. An alternative is for you to learn how to use the Piano Roll in Reaper and compose you own midi files from scratch.

This is the guy you may want to learn Reaper from, IMO: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOXcoJa5jjNUkuAx8ACDDOINyXf7jtocS
Learn EZD2 from me here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi47uknUXzCzQIFM7cdz5JW87zBDGcsWr

You may want to focus your attention on learning Reaper first, since using a DAW is really the backbone to the workflow of recording a song. Hope that helps.
