That’s the main reason why. Also to isolate volume for Toms that are grouped on the mixer.

Is there a way to control the instrument volume from Logic Pro X?

[vsdookie]

Not sure if this is the same thing, Maybe useful for someone reading this. In Logic Pro X Smart controls adjust Overheads, Compression and Tape Drive. I do wish that I could use smart control for the volumes of each instrument.

It’s tough in EZD Standalone. If you find a preset that has a Ride Channel on the Mixer Tab you might be able to have less room/ambient mics and more direct Ride sound. I only say that if you’re desperate though.

It’s necessary to use a DAW in this case. It’s typical that sustaining overtones ring at a specific note/frequency, and you would use an EQ to lower that specific frequency’s volume. Can send you a vid link if you wish that has the general idea.

Yes, Im using it in Logic Pro X. I do have a ride channel, But the Ambience and Overheads over power it. Is there a way to take ride out of Overheads and Ambience Room?

Is there a way to put a ride cymbal from Drum Kit Designer into EZdrummer 3?

BTW, Yes please send me that link.

Can someone help with this? All the EZdrummer 3 toms sound great. I can do a buzz roll on my toms, they respond great. When I put any EZdrummer 2 toms in and do a Buzz roll it sounds like reverb only. Like I said in OP it wasn’t like this when I first Downloaded EZ software.

Should I uninstall EZ 2 Library and reinstall? If so how do I do this?

[vsdookie]

SeanBee, Did you figure this out? I’m having the same issue.

If you can utilize all three tracks and make the kick drum sound better, use all three. Otherwise, keep it simple.

Just confirming. By utilize all three tracks, you mean 3 separate tracks?

Just keep switching these Routing menus around until all the kick drum channels read the same numbers you want, and change your OH to channel 1/2.

Would it be better to have 3 separate bass drum tracks or should I combine them to one track?

Thanks VSDOOKIE I’ll give that a go even though I’ve managed to steer clear of the ENVIRONMENT all these years so far!

Let me know how it goes.

[vsdookie]

Open up midi environment in Logic Pro x (Press option while clicking Window, its 2/3rd’s way down the list) In environment window click new and click Mapped Instrument. As I hit each drum on my kit It shows in the Mapped instrument window, I then right click the highlighted blue note and type in the drum name. After you do that for all the drums, Drag the Mapped Instrument to your summing track. I did Multi Track output and did a track stack, which creates a summing track (I named my summing track Drum Kit) Then open piano roll editor and the names should be there. You’ll have to slide vertical zoom to the right to see the names.

One issue I did have is it seem the EZ3 cymbals are a lower volume than EZ3 toms, snare and Bass Drum. In the Bleed section of the mixer I turn up the OH and Ambience, it did bring the cymbals to life. Although I’m still new to the EZdrummer family. I’ve only had EZ3 for a few days. I did purchase the EZ2 Core library as well. It does seem the EZ2 cymbals have a little more volume than the EZ3s. EZdrummer 3 is awesome so far.

If you’re referring to the channel faders, they are not controls, so you can’t map them to anything. You would have to set up additional controls in Logic’s Environment.

Can you show me how to do that?

Actually, something like that can be done in Logic’s Environment. Takes a bit of wiring up, but it is not impossible.

jord

How would I implicate syncing Logic sliders to Ez sliders in environment?

I would be willing to give it a shot anyways.

That’s what multi-out is for. However, if you are not going to be applying your own processing on each channel nor automate any channels, then there is no point to use it.

jord

You are right. But it would still be a nice feature, like the way Smart controls control with bleed, parallel comp and tape.

By single smart control, I am saying you can tie a bunch of things into one knob.

jord

Ok, That’s a good idea too. I wish there was a way to learn the sliders of the EZ mixer from Logic.

It is not so much about using any grooves, as it is about using grooves from either the EZD timeline or groove palette in logic. If you are simply recording grooves from your e-drums into Logic’s MIDI track, then you would use your drum mapping within EZD.

jord

Yes, I probably won’t use the grooves much cause I’m a drummer. But the option is nice to have. What I did earlier is I opened groove in EZ3 and dragged it to drum channel in logic and the hi-hat became the crash cymbal.
