MouseClickDrummerreinstalled it from scratch. upon opening says no library found.
Actuaally superior 3 is having the same issue when it comes only to the EZX libraries. under additional libraries. it greys out Locate folder. Cannot locate or relocate anything EZX related. When i move folders not found and still greying out locating stuff. This is unacceptable.
This is what i do with my time instead of making music. Great stuff! Very high end!
MouseClickDrummerHi John, its windows 10. the path it points to is the E: Samples top directory. root of E drive. Its the only place. It looks very messy this way and should be in it’s own folder not in the top starting directory of the drive. I have previously from Superior 3 had a TTDrums Folder i made for all the stuff. But i decided to just reinstall. Nothing goes to that. and TT manager shows not installed when i move it to there. Locate folder (under sound and midi libraties) is always greyed out regardless if i click on it before moving or after moving. no option to click it it is dimmed out. I also have superior 3 installed.
MouseClickDrummerHi, so it seems like the follow host function is not working for me. in S3. wheni add a note in the daw, it is not adding the note in the grid editor,.
I need this to work because i would like to have a quick way ot changing the grid to triplets, so if have pro tools in triplet grid while the S3 grid is in non-triplets, it could be easy to edit different patterns on the fly. Or some shorcut would be nice. This shortcut has been aded into pro tools, but now the pro tools midi grid editor is inferior to the S3 only in the department of because of sub-menu row articulations. So if i could at least switch to triplets in the S3 fgrid editor it would be less of a hassle.
But at the end of the day i still think this S3 grid editor needs major work and is still not usable. Firstly they should color code the drum hits per row in my opinion.
But in general This thing is so hard to get used to. The grid lines are not intuitive like lighter sub division lines and each beat isnt more contrast of a line. If you look at the pro tools midi grid its proper contrasts on the grid. there is only a brighter contrast line at the end of the measure. This thing is just not usable. There should be some background shades assisting with this. This is not a great editor sadly.
The other thing is that any hit penciled in on the grid is at max velocity ant thats very annoying to work with. Is there a way to set the pencil note velocity to a low default velocity? because honestly i am nbot trying to carpet bomb drums and drums are not to forward in this astral ambient black metal stuff im trying to get going here. drums are not to be as forward in this type of music. But i just can’t seem to get a smooth workflow happening here.
Also there is no metronome here. I can’t use this grid.
I am also trying to drag midi clips from my daw clip list into the clip player/grid editor and i can’t do that. The only way is the import midi function in which case you have to see which clips are what in the pro tools midi clips folder. There is not much i am able to do here at all.
MouseClickDrummerIn EZD3, locate is completely dimmed out under paths. Even after it says manually move the folder then come back to click locate. This is lunacy.
I have never seen this level of fault in software file management before with no option to re-direct where the path points to. Is this some sort of practical joke? Even in superior 3 Locate is dimmed out under additional libraries.
MouseClickDrummerIn installation info in tt manager, for anything EZ drummer related or the EZX packs, there is no drop down under installaton info to change path as there is for superior. this is madness.
MouseClickDrummerBefore I purchase and replace my EZ2, I was wondering if i use the EZ3 grid editor first on my lesser capable computer DAW that i do original tracking ideas with, if 1)of the hit variations are possible (like a snare flam thing) and then 2) to later be able to import to S3?
MouseClickDrummeram gonna have to reopen this. Before I decide If i am to buy or not, is there a short cut in plug-in mode in s3 for grit to triplets mode? because this was the main frustration with pro tools always had to cliuck on the menu option to change it.. very cumbersome.
having all possible tools to make the workflow as natural mon the go as possible is essential when somehow trying to replicate a real player which is almost impossible to do in an efficient way on a daw.
a sort of key stroke short-cut based laydown of thits mode (i foget what it was called in pro tools) is also key.
if not possible in plug-in mode, well thats just unfortunate because have to lay down guitars and drums on the fly in a daw.
(this should be sufficient proof as to why i hate the lack of centralization to all things in general. lol.)
MouseClickDrummerAnyone at all?
This midi grid editor is not versatile enough. Sorry but not even close. It badly calls for these features. The shaopes and colors and all the other stuff and even things which I prolly have not thought of. Needs serious customization and shaping to a user’s way of working. It should be automatically built-in to have all these features because drums are very hard to get natural when you are trying to create high level stuff that is insanely intense. Its very hard to edit to be instantly proper at that level and so why not create a visual environment of penciling things in that makes it a lot easier in terms of easing the work that eyes have to do. These things will help with allowing the eyes have a more automatic response and less fatigue, as well as many modifier combos and key combos will allow for exponentially more scalable work. This is such a no-brainer and I am surprised this hasnt been requested yet.

Thanked by: Jason GittensMouseClickDrummerHi, ok thanks. So then I will know to enable alternate so that I dont have to pencil on two lines.
But is there a way to color code the grid and have it reverse upside down so that the kick is on the bottom? I am used to doing it that way in other editors. Because it makes sense for the kick to be at the lowest point then the snare then the hit hats then toms then cymbals up top as a normal drum kit is oriented.
And i Really need color coded stuff so I can intelligently know what I am doing.
And with this seperate grid, when you are done your pattern does it import to a midi track in your host? How would the host know to be on time with it?
Also is there shortcuts to enable triplet divisions on the grid so as to not have to click the mouse for a drop-down to do that?
And finally, would there be any upgrades from 2 to 3?
MouseClickDrummerthanks. for this price i would say definetly worth it for quick results.
MouseClickDrummerIf I may jump in, do any of these packs model analog hardware as does dsp-based UAD 2 plug-ins? What would be the benefit of these if one really likes UADs? Because perhaps these might be of some use to me if I am not quite a master at UAD stuff as my formal training is more of a TV broadcasting-based audio backround and not music-based. So although I really like UAD plug-ins, my current skill set is probabily limiting if i rely on those alone – but with these, how analog do they sound in comparison to UADs? In other words, is the TT EZM line meant for pro studios or is this series of plug-ins meant for more the amateur or the home studio-quality application? My level of expertise in music mixing/mastering falls somewhere between amateur and pro. Probably right smack dab in the middle.
And how are the reverbs. Are they of similar quality to lexicon or eventide?
Or will these questions be answered by how much i see my system usage and/or ram-meters go up? I have 8 gigs of ram atm.
The only reason i state my response as such is because there does not seem to be any options to demo the products.
MouseClickDrummerThe only financial gamble is if there are both versions but not if there would only be only either one of those two versions.
Software is software…. regardless of what hardware it runs on or what programming is used. Hiring programmers for different platforms is not the concern.
MouseClickDrummerhigh pass filter before distortion. but the kind with a higher than center peak or spikes where its cutoff point is – is most ideal…. I think the axe FX has one.
MouseClickDrummerI think current users will be happy with the current product if new updates kept coming, and would either stay with it or pay for the upgrade. I dont think too much anger would arise.
Kind of like UAD. But also, for live use there would be no need for a computer to play the TT kits live. It would be fully integrated into the front panel… (and there could be a dongle version too for DAW use.
It can also be like what was supposed to happen to the Eventide H8000FW for pro tools but never ended up happening – you would see the plug-in on the screen while the communication to the unit over whatever cable would feed the unit whatever you are doing in the plug-in, and vice versa with a screen on the hardware, sending the plug-in whatever information you are doing on the screen.
So there would basically be three versions – one would be a rack, another a desktop (either for stand-alone usage with no computer), and another a dongle for computers without the front panel display or buttons.
