Electronic Edge EZX – The MIDI

I’m not in the studio at the moment.
When I am, I can try to get a count of the included grooves…

As I don’t want to presume your foreknowledge of SuperiorDrummer3 or the SDX product line,
I’ll simply note that SD3 & the SDX expansions are “RAW, UNPRODUCED DRUM SAMPLES” for maximum flexibility,
tweak-ability, sound design, and powerful music production.

The presets are ‘shortcuts’ created by Toontrack & professional creatives to help to sculpt mix-ready drum tracks.

EZMix will just be easier to redownload & install via Product Manager on the new laptop.

————————————————————————————————————-

1a. if the the backed-up files to which you are referring are the originally DOWNLOADED INSTALLATION FILES,
YES, you can copy them to the DOWNLOAD location on the new laptop as configured in the new installation of Product Manager on the new laptop.

1b. if the the backed-up files to which you are referring are the installed software & sound libraries, only the sound libraries can be copied to the new laptop & then located by the software. AFAIK, the software must be installed from the files downloaded via PM.

2/3. YES, the new software will need to be authorized on the new laptop thru the Product Manager.

—————————————————————————————————

Install Product Manager on the new laptop.

Make note of the DOWNLOAD FOLDER as specified in Product Manager’s PREFERENCES. (or change this location to one of your liking).

Close Product Manager.

Copy the DOWNLOAD FILES from your ‘old PC’ to the DOWNLOAD FOLDER specified in the previous step.

ReOpen Product Manager. It should recognize & verify that files have been ‘downloaded/copied‘ and prompt for installation.

If you chose to copy versus to reinstall the EZD3 & EZKeys sound libraries, open EZD3 & EZKeys apps/plugins and each will prompt for the new location of the sound libraries.

Thinking that you probably need to also reduce the hi-hat bleed in the right-side mics…

This FAQ is probably the best explanation of using ‘future hit percussion’ like the tambourine.

what tempo is your DAW set to? (and what DAW are you using?)

Here’s a few references that i found.
I could probably find more if i wasn’t at work now…
In particular the [OPTIONS] section of the EZDrummer 3 manual

The SD3 DOWNLOAD location and SD3 INSTALLATION location are 2 different locations in the eyes of the installer,
even you put them on the same drive.

The Program Manager settings determine where the DOWNLOAD files are stored.
The Product installer will copy, expand or utilize the downloaded files to the INSTALLATION location.

Therefore, you will need to allocate twice the space required;
at least until the installation is completed after which the download files can be cleaned off the drive.

Thanks for reporting back in the forum how you solved it.
Your solution could very well help someone else…

There are essentially two methods of using Logic Pro X’s Drummer Track to control what EZDrummer plays…

1) convert Drummer Track regions to MIDI by [Option] dragging the Drummer track to an Instrument Track on which EZDrummer resides;  described here by Apple Support. 
This method allows tweaks to be made to the MIDI for fine-tuning & personalizing the performance.

or
2) [Shift]+[Option] drag Drummer Track regions to an Instrument Track on which EZDrummer resides.
described here by “Logic Pro for Smarties”
This method allows changes made on the Drummer Track to automatically & immediately affect changes to what EZDrummer plays.
Using Method #1 requires that changes made on the Drummer Track to be reconverted to MIDI, losing any tweaks made to the MIDI previously.

SuperiorDrummer3 Operation Manual – Section 9.4 “The View Menu”

There are two applicable settings in the “View” menu:
Scale: These options change the total size of the Superior Drummer 3 interface. Its extremely useful if you have a very small laptop screen and need to make the entire interface smaller, or if you have a large screens and would like to see a larger scaled interface.
Size: Here you can choose one of the preset sizes for the Superior Drummer 3 window, or create a custom window size. Note: when creating videos with Superior Drummer 3 the 1080p option is very convenient!

as well as:
Set to Minimum Size and Scale: Choosing this option will change the size and scale of the SD3 window to the smallest possible option.
Reset to Default Size and Scale: Changes both the scale, size, and proportions of the window back to the default.

EZDrummer2
https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-move-the-sounds-for-ezdrummer-2/
EZBass & EZKeys
https://www.toontrack.com/faq/can-i-relocate-the-ezbass-sound-library-folder-to-my-external-drive/

I very recently moved all of my EZ libraries (EZKeys, EZBass & EZDrummer2) to an external drive.

EZDrummer2 & EZBass libraries were recognized by the standalone apps, the plugins ( and the Product Manager)
simply by browsing to the new library location within the product itself when prompted.
(I had to move them first & delete them from the old location.)

Following the same procedure within EZKeys did not seem to affect the same response.
My solution was to download and install one of my previously installed EZKeys libraries
(even though I had already installed & moved it to the new location).
This effectively seemed to affect the change for ALL of my other EZKeys library expansions & MIDI expansions.
