I figured it out, I highlighted all the drums on the kit and lowered the velocity bard in the Velocity Curve window. Works the same. I also found the velocity control in the grooves window. Duh.

I laid down those solos you asked for. I used an amp I build for Billy Gibbons as a matter of fact.

We recived Billy’s amp back after his tour rack took a dive apparently a pretty big drop of the dock. The result was one preamp was intermittent and a knob or control pot was broken or bent. So we quickly repaired it. I was playing the amp as I always do for good measure to validate all was well before sending it off back to the band since they are out on tour and need it according to their own words ” REALLY BAD, we never knew how much we depended on that amp for our sound!” which is quite faltering. Anyway I fired it up and threw on a backing track. I used a Rhythm track I recorded as a Dirty Boy demo, Dirty Boy Rhythm Sound to be specific. It had no solos on it. Well to make a long sotry short, I wond up tracking solos with Billy’s amp and it was nothing short of freaking insane on tone and responce. I have to admit, I might be getting superstitious since I never play very well but I did get some good vibe going so the Gibbons Mojo must be lurking within the box……..
Well hear for yourself. This is the amp we built for Billy and he has used exclusivly for his tuoring for years now. He also has some Scorpion amps for his studio as well. The Rack Mounted Scorpion is esentially totally stock with a few exceptions with respect to features only not tone. The truth is, we are the amp behind the curtain so to speak.

Here are a few photos of the amp to check out if your into that kind of thing.

It’s coming. I had to work up another demo so I was busy with that. I will be working on the solo tracks in the coming weeks. I’ll most likely cut the demo in half with respect to length. You can hear the other Dirty Boy demos including the latest which has the Superior Drummer tracks on it (Same Set, New Your Studios, Massive Ludwig) at the http://www.mojaveampworks.com/dirtyboy/DirtyBoy/Sound_Clips.html

This time I created the midid from scratch using Drumtracker and building it on my own.

Here is the solution after working this out from the guys at Obedia:

If you tried to install EZ drummer from a disc and your running Snow Leopard as I am, this is your problem. You must uninstall the EZ drummer you have just installed. You can do that by either finding the EZ drummer uninstall or going to the TOONTRACK® Website. Go to your account. Select EZ drummer. Then from the download menu, the Red MAC button, select download. After the download is complete you will have the option to use the uninstall at that point. Make sure you select all of the files and uninstall everything from EZ drummer. Now that it is cleared out, use the install icon and install EZ drummer from what you just downloaded off the TOONTRACK® website. Once that is complete, you will be prompted to activate, simply copy the current activation number from your account and your up and running.

The key here is to make sure you have downloaded the TT106 version AFTER you have uninstalled the first version which came from the disc. If you try to install the TT106 downloaded from the Website on top of the version you installed from disc, you will not get a resolution as I tried this and the problem did not resolve until I deleted the installation which was originally on the hard drive from the disc.

I would strongly urge TOONTRACK® add this resolution on its FAQ for Service on the EZ Drummer FAQ. If I had read this, I could have solved the problem quicker and not had to go to Obedia for assistance.

Hi there,
In your audio devices under midi device setup, do you have an aggregate device set up? if not, what is the device you have selected for your output and for your midi output?

Can you recommend a good Command Controller Hat Foot pedal? I saw one in the Demo Booth at NAMM when I visited Toontrack® Recently. The one guy using it was using the Korg Micro pad as well. I think they can plug directly into the Keyboard correct?

Thanks, I was thinking I should work on it in my host (Logic Pro 9.02) but I think in order to do a open close stomp pedal hi hat, I will need to use the keyboard for that part. What do you think?

I can pull out as much as I can with Drumtracker™ and try to fill in the parts on keyboard for the rest. That shuffle is a classic Bonham riff just open and closing the hi hat with the hi hat pedal. use wide open and then stomp it closed with a closed hat sound? Would that work?

What would you suggest to create the Shhhooop or when the hat is hit then immediately opened up and closed.

Actually I’m having a heck of a time with the section from 4.000 to just after 6.00 out to the end. That is a tricky shuffle that I wish this program would provide for some manner of slowing down durning audio playback analysis to hear and discern the hits from one another. I dropped Mattias an email making a suggestion to consider a variable speed adjustment to allow slowing down the playback for just this situation. Were talking a shuffle between the kick, snare and hat all quite tricky to set up. I had hats hitting extra but I’m not sure what the deal is. Give it a listen and let me know how one might approach working out the specified area of this waveform. I did make two passes, one for hats and one for kick and snare but my results were dismal. I take responsibility for the result, I just need to figure out how to set up and execute a plan of attack around said location.

SUCCESS !!!

My first conversion working with Drum Tracker. I made two passes, one for Hats, one for Kick and Snare. Bounced them out in SP2 via Toontrack Solo into a wav file. Took the wave file, added some Lexicon Vintage Plate Verb.

Interesting. Did you make the threshold edits or did that happen automatically when rendered? Also, I was looking at the three filters. Each one is green? Was that because you loaded them three separate times or did you add them at the opening?.
