I like to “play” parts out on a PadKontrol. Can I do it in passes?

[redddog]

I hope that’s not too confusing?

I like to play my drum parts out and sometimes need to do it in passes – like record Kick and snare to a couple of tracks. Then go back and record cymbals on the next pass and so forth.

Havent been able to figure out how to do this. Any suggestions?

Its a good way to work.
I use logic and make copies of the “same” instrument and get the Hats , kicks , Snare , fills, crashes all separate for ease of
seeing the drums and editing the later may merge them to one smf .
Main thing is you can do it but on a Daw.

So are you saying that you do 2 instances of EZD in 1 project?

My thing is that I like to do the kick and snare first. Then go back and do the hats and cymbals. But I haven’t found a way to have the first “pass” survive. When I go back for the second pass, EZD records over the 1st pass and I’ll only have hats and cymbals.

Which host are you using? Pro Tools? Cubase? EZdrummer 2 is not determining whether passes get overdubbed or clears previous, it’s a host setting.

I use Samplitude. I guess I’ll have a look around and see what I can see. Thanks

NO , I may for other reasons but the method i described is done inside the Daw
SOunds like your editing inside EZD2 and that i don’t bother with.
