Ok…..I went out and got an AKAI MPD218 drum pad……now, I have NO IDEA how to set it up to use with EZDrummer2. My DAW is Sony Acid Music Studio 10.0. Getting a tad frustrated finding the answers….but it’s only been a day or two

Thanks!!!

Thanks onewayout_1,

Nice reply….thank you. I have been looking at drum pads, but I wasn’t sure that you could ACTUALLY create a midi. It seems you are just “recording” what you are “finger drumming” as an audio track and not a midi.

As am I not a drummer as well, one youtube video suggested “tracking” or creating a midi for different sections of the drums. For example, doing the basic kick and snare combo as one midi, then going back into EZDrummer and doing a separate track of just cymbals (high-hat, crashes, etc). Does that make sense having two midi tracks for your drums running in your DAW?

I have some experience in the digital realm of editing. I primarily have done video editing using Sony products (Vegas). I understand from talking to friends that Sony Vegas was originally a music program, adapted to video. Since I am familiar with that product, I was looking at a basic Sony product for music like Acid Music Studio. I have never worked with just straight audio or midi.

Thanks again for your help. Any other suggestions, I’m all ears!!!
