If your host support MIDI to be dragged out, you can simply drag the MIDI from the host to EZdrummer 2’s timeline again. If not, you can export the MIDI and then drag it from your hard drive into EZdrummer 2.

Further, you can record enable EZdrummer 2. If you have Follow Host enabled in EZdrummer and press play in your host, the drum MIDI should be recorded into EZdrummers time line.

This is correct. You should, however, check the latency you’ll get with that setup. Generally speaking, Mac laptops seem to offer pretty low latencies (the time between the hit of a drum and when the actual sound is heard). If you’ll run on a PC, it’s possible that you’ll need an external sound card that will offer lower latency. But this is just a guess, you should try it out first. You can always try the 10 day free demo to start with!

Hello folks, thanks for the thoughts. I can answer some of them for you:

1. Is there a particular scenario where this is needed, or is it a “nice to have” feature? Basically, it’s a locked locations since MIDI files takes (almost) no space, it’s possible to mount User Libraries and User MIDI is directly accessible by right clicking root folder and choosing “Open in Finder” (Mac)

2. You can drag and drop the MIDI file straight out from EZdrummer 2 to a folder, the host’s track or any other destination.

7. This is beyond our control (unfortunately). The position of the time header is only reported to plugins when the time line is playing in the host.

8. This is, also, beyond our control. Generally – hosts can start and stop plugins but plugins can’t start and stop the host.

All ideas that are posted on this forum are noted, so keep ’em coming

There are several grooves that are built around a standard 4/4 “basic rock” beat. For example:
EZdrummer 1 Pop/Rock MIDI/44 Straight 50-140BPM/PopRock/PopRock Grooves/Groove 09/
In there, all the Hats 4th are using the beat he played in the end of the youtube video.

I found this, and many others, by using Tap2Find in EZdrummer 2. Hope this helps!
