[Sonar] Sonar 7 and EZ Drummer

[Anonymous]

Hiya,

Im totally new to EZ Drummer. I Have EZ Drummer and DFH xpansion pack. I want to use these to create my own drum beats. I am using Sonar 7 Producer edition, i can bring up the piano roll view to create the drum loops, but what i would like to know is how can you assign the piano keys to what part of the drum you are using in EZ Drummer ?

Thakyou in advance,

Hi, you have to use a drummap.

There are several drum maps in the download area.  HTH

Hey Ben.  If you’re logged into the updates page there are links on the right side of that page. Click on “Free Downloads” > EZDrummer > Host Stuff > Sonar > Drum Maps.  HTH

Hiya,
 
I have found the downloads now 🙂 and have down loaded them, but when i click on them it says they are not a recognised file type ? or can i access them in Soanar some how ? if so how do i do this ?
 
I just followed the link and listened to your music, was this all done in Sonar 7 PE ? it sounds fantastic quaility ! Your song Uncle Ray is a great song, very touching.
 
Just out of interset how do you record your guitars ?  miked up amps or guitar software plugins ?

Hey Ben, looks like you’ve been moved.  Not to worry, it happens sometimes.

Sonar 7 (and I think S6 as well) moved some of the user files including Drum Maps.  They are now at: Documents and Settings > user (in this case, administrator) > Application Data > Cakewalk > Sonar 7 > Drum Maps.  Place the new map files here.

I still had S5 on my machine when I installed S7 so my drum maps are under: Program Files  > Cakewalk > Sonar 5 > drum Maps.  This is where I put mine as this is where my EZD looks for them.

When you open EZDrummer be sure and select the Output Track and Midi Source Track options from the DB.  (I also select the folder option).  Click OK.  Now go to the Midi Source Track and open the output dropdown menu.  Select “New Drum Map” and from the list choose your new map.  Use the Drum Map Manager to verify that EZD is output in the map.  You’re all set!  Please let me know how it goes.

I just followed the link and listened to your music, was this all done in Sonar 7 PE ? it sounds fantastic quaility!

Thank you.  Danny Boy was done in S7.  All the instruments are either VSTi or samples. The others were cut at Quad in Nashville.

Your song Uncle Ray is a great song, very touching.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Just out of interset how do you record your guitars ?  miked up amps or guitar software plugins ?

The electric guitars and the steel were played by Bird Burton.  They were all amped and mic’d.

Hi Ben.  It needs to be in the Drum Maps folder under Documents and Settings (in your C: drive).  Windows Explorer > expand the C: drive > Documents and Settings > user (in this case, administrator) > Application Data > Cakewalk > Sonar 7 > Drum Maps.

Just copy the file from wherever it’s located now and paste it in the Drum Maps folder.  Reopen Sonar and EZD and it should be there.  You can also do a search to find the path.  HTH

Hiya, sorry for my late reply, i didnt get an email from toontrack to let me know you had replied, then my post was moved for some reason.
 
I have gone into documents and settings, and got to the sonar 7 folder but when i open it there are only 2 folders, one sample content and the other tutorials, i went into both folders and the drum maps folder wasnt in either ?

Hi Ben.  You’re looking in ‘My Documents’.  You need to be looking in ‘Documents and Settings’ which is found under the c: drive in ‘Windows Explorer’.  Here’s how you get there: Click on Start > Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer.  Expand the c: drive and there you will find ‘Documents and Settings’.  HTH

Hi all,

I am brand new to EZ Drummer and am having trouble linking the application to the sounds I stored on my external hard drive. When I start up Application it asks for a “path” to the sound files. When I select the folder on the external drive it says “failed to load sound library. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
B-

Hi Brad, we need more info about your system. Also can I suggest you create a new topic in the http://www.toontrack.com/forum/tt.aspx?forumid=32 as your issue is clearly not related to above and will add undesirable info to this fine topic. Thank you 🙂
