To load EZD2, make sure you have created an “Instrument” track. At the bottom left of the screen, you should see a new channel strip. Click on the “instrument” button, and a drop list should appear. From there navigate to EZ Drummer. You should be good to go from there. If that doesn’t work, you may need to reboot your mac. Sometimes plugins wont show until then.

Got it thanks!

I’m having the same problem with Logic Pro X, downloaded EZ Drummer 2 onto my new MacBook Air just fine but I don’t know how to load it into Logic, have Google searched and watched videos on YouTube to no avail.

I got new computer, it’s a MacBook Air(also downloaded Logic Pro X) and logged in and installed EZ Drummer 2 on it but I can’t figure out how to actually get it to install on and show up in Logic. I’ve watched videos and Google searched but can find no explanation anywhere.

Thanks for the info John. I will seriously consider upgrading to Logic when I get a new computer.

My drum machine has touch sensitive pads but it would be almost impossible to program patterns with varying velocity hits in the manner of a good drummer. We are a metal band and pitch shift the drums super low anyway so they have something of an industrial sound so max velocity works fine for us.

I keep the velocity on max, I want to be able to adjust the volume of each drum after recording just as if I had recorded a real drum kit live using 8+ mics.

The first photo shows my mixer screen after I changed it to multichannel but I don’t know how to set these individual channels to tracks in GarageBand.

The second photo is a screen shot from a YouTube video where this has been done in Logic which has more features.

I got the panning to work and it will record in stereo in the DAW, not sure why I was having a problem with that before.

I found a video explaining GarageBand piano roll note velocity but it seems that there is no way to adjust the volume independent of that on a recorded track on the piano roll. Now I’m wondering if it’s possible to assign each drum to it’s own track in GarageBand(or any DAW considering that I will probably get a newer faster computer soon) so that I can tweak drum volume while mixing, does anyone know?

[Jonathan Lang]

Thanks for the reply John.

I’ll try the panning again in the morning.

I’m good on adjusting the volume of each drum in the EZ Drummer plug in, it’s adjusting the volume of each drum on the GarageBand piano roll after I have recorded that I would like to do because I’m using a drum machine to sequence rather than making patterns inside EZD.

[Jonathan Lang]

Thanks for the reply Henrik. I will see if I can get that to work and maybe look into Logic either way.

[Jonathan Lang]

After watching a basic video on GarageBand I’m now able to use my computer keyboard to make drum hits so I don’t really need to buy a midi controller although it would be nice to customize the keys. My problem now is getting EZ Drummer to record in the DAW. Hopefully more tutorial vids will help with that.
