Lee KruegerGoogle “DAW Latency”. There’s many good guides. Here’s one…

Good luck.
Lee KruegerFind something that’s close, then try EQ and/or compression.
Lee KruegerHi mvortex1.
Have you tried the “Show Web Shop MIDI” button? That searches the entire Toontrack Library for matches online. Of course you can’t use the match it finds until you purchase that pack, but at least you’ll know if it exists and you’ll have that option. As simple and basic as my ideas are, I rarely find usable matches and I just end up using the “Amount Knob” to embellish my basic ideas. I just must be a Rare Simpleton I guess. Lol.
Good luck.

Thanked by: James FaulknerLee KruegerHello Phantom25,
It’s not visable as midi ’cause it’s only in the EZD2 plugin. You need to drag it from there into a track in your DAW. Be sure to mute the one in EZD2 after you do that ’cause they’ll both play at the same time – if it’s in the EZD2 song editor, very annoying.
Sounds like you need to spend some time watching youtube tutorials. Just search youtube for “ezdrummer 2 tutorial”, there’s many good ones. Takes some time, but worth the effort.
Have fun.

Lee KruegerHere’s a screen shot of where I got it from – it’s the first entry. The original file is twice as long. I think that I may have truncated it in EZD2, then used it. I think this time I’ll pull the entire pattern into Reaper and delete the stuff I don’t need there, then use it. That should work – hopefully.
Thank you Sir so, so much!
Have a nice day!

Lee KruegerOK. Thanks Brad. You Sir are a Genius. So when I open the midi file and zoom in, it’s not there. But when I drag one of the block copies out of the song, it’s there. So EZD2’s Song Editor is adding that tiny hit to the midi block. I’d say that’s a bug.
Lee KruegerSo I built the drum song midi twice, the first one was such a mess that I just deleted it and started over. The second time I made sure that any partial blocks were at the end of sections eg. verse, chorus, solo, etc… I didn’t do that the first time and the emphasis’s were falling all over the place, which was highly disturbing. So the second time enabled me to see that it was in fact intentional emphasis on the opening beat. When you play file in the midi finder it doesn’t do that.
Lee KruegerSo after thinking about this for a while, a fix is I could just use the kick in another drum machine plugin, but I shouldn’t have to do that. Emphasis is good, but only when the Artist wants it, not when the drum machine plugin think’s it’s necessary.
And on a soft song like this, it’s downright obnoxious.
Lee Krueger.ezdp That’s the only option for saving project out of standalone EzDrummer2. For mine anyway.
Lee KruegerThank you Brad,
Here’s the file…
…well I’m trying to post the file, it’s only 144kb, but the website appears to not be posting it. I tried 3 times. I hit “select file”, find it on my desktop, it appears in the little box, I hit “submit” but it doesn’t post. I’m using Chrome’s latest effort. Weird.
Lee KruegerHi Henrik,
Thanks for your reply.
I made a video of what’s happening. If that’s not enough, I’ll prepare a project file, though it will open with a shit ton of errors as I’m sure no one has the same plugins that I do.
Make the video at least 720p in the Youtube settings in the lower right(gear) so you can read it.
Lee KruegerOh yeah, I’m using the Modern Basic drum kit, but I’ve tried others and they all do it.
Thanks
Lee
Lee KruegerSo this is as far as this got. That’s pretty lame. It’s been a while, but if you haven’t figured it out yet, you need to drag your midi block into your DAW and edit it there, then save it as a midi file, then open it in EZD2.
