How to, or can I “jam” along with songs?

[aj502]

Hi Folks!
I’m trying out the demo of ezD2 before deciding whether to buy and it looks/sounds like a great little proggy to play with.

As it only gives you 10 days to decide I figure I ask here for a quick question.

Q: Can I load a song (mp3, wmp, etc…) and “jam” out with it in EzD2? You know like I would in the garage on my kit cranking the stereo…

Thx

You can’t load mp3s in EZdrummer 2 – but you can play them on your computer with any software and run EZdrummer 2 simultaneously and jam along. I do that pretty often with Spotify and EZdrummer 2…

Yea thx man…Ofc that was obvious solution, I didn’t phrase properly…I just meant to bus into a DAW or something but discovered that’s in paid version…There IS a workaround to get it in tho but overall, my Q is answered.

So far it’s a neat, great sounding proggy with the little I have discovered in it.
Seems a tad expensive for just 2 kits for anyone less that a dedicated, full time user. That MIGHT be the deciding factor for me…Not decided yet.
You’d think they’d have a more casual user model like Amplitude 3 (Guitar modeler) does with options to add on whenever ya wanna…

I don’t like – or haven’t found? – that you can’t edit the length of the cymbal mutes or add hi hat pedal accents. Is this a paid version option or just not implemented?

Thx for the reply, Hennik.

It’s actually 5 kits in the two libraries that ship with EZD 2.

I mis spoke – It’s 3 kits in the trial version – which is fine. (DW, Yamaha 9000 and Gretch)

If I purchase, they will include 2 more?
