Can you give us a screenshot of DP and the track window?

Drag and drop from EZD to DP.

What have you tried that didn’t work?

Are you running a DAW?

Click on any of the keyboard symbols I’ve outlined.

Have you thought of sampling that snare from a recording – there’s software that can do that – and loading it into EZD?

Or you can be yourself, with your own sound.

There’s the freeware Cakewalk

Some fantastic snare sounds in there, but the reverb in all the audio demos falls off like normal reverb. Would be great to have those sounds with a short sustain and then sudden decay. Would kill for that fast, loud aggressive but fast decay sound.

I only own EZDrummer 3, I’m guessing Superior would allow me to customize the sounds from EZXs like this?

DDo you work with a DAW? That would let you gate the drums. SD3 would indeed let you gate drums. I play live to backing tracks made with Area 33. Those toms are big like in Air Tonight, not with reverb but with a close mic and another mic a few feet above each drum.

Ahhh I just learned something from your question. For live I was planning on running EZD3 in standalone with my TD-17 and playing mixed-down AIFF backing tracks from a separate device. My reason for that was “What does a DAW do for live play?”

You just answered what I’d use a DAW for for live play! Also thanks for the clarification about SD3. The only DAW I’ve been using is GarageBand, which has been fine for my needs. If you have any recommendations I’d love to hear them.

What do you use for backing track playback live?

Thanks very much for all the info!

I mix down to MP3, which I put on a smartphone. It’s Bluetoothed to the desk, and I have a Boss FS-1-WL Bluetooth footswitch for starting/stopping/forwarding/skipping back the tracks. I have drum, keyboard and guitar on some, for when I’m gigging alone or practising at home, and drums only on others, for when I have a guitar player with me. The keys are EZkeys.

You can hear 2ms latency? It’s more likely to be Reaper and any devices than EZD. My DAW tells me the latency going on and the more plugins I’m running, the more the latency. You can test if EZD is lagging by clicking on any instrument in the Drums tab. I get none doing that but some when playing my ekit through EZD with plugins in the DAW.
