You need to have a little patience as I’ve never heard of Audacity either I’m afraid.
Is there a mixer section where you find channel inserts or fx?
In Logic you click and hold on a channel insert, then a list of fx plug-ins appears. You choose EZMix. Then as EZmix launches for the first time an authorization window pops up.
Hi,
I would say you don’t need EZplayer Pro if you have EZdrummer and Reaper.
To be fair, the person who recommended EZplayer Pro to you (just a user not company employee) said it was a mid librarian, midi player and didn’t mention exporting audio. They also suggested you download the EZplayer manual (free) so you could get an idea how it functions BEFORE you go ahead and buy the product.
Still, you could try for a refund.
Anyway, it does seem you’ve been ill informed by GC or didn’t quite grasp what they told you when you bought EZdrummer.
It is a plug-in, most commonly used in conjunction with a computer music workstation (known as a DAW).
One of the major features of EZdrummer is the ability to continually modify the drum parts and arrangement via midi, also the ability to change drum sounds as you go along. Once the EZdrummer sounds and parts are resolved to WAV, you lose that flexibility. So Reaper is definitely the way to go in my opinion, to get the best out of EZdrummer.
In the end yes, once you have constructed your drum parts and chosen the sounds, you can record to WAV and import to the Korg, but as I say, that sort of locks you in and takes away some of EZdrummer’s flexible features.
Toontrack is the name of the company, not one of their products.
With the product EZdrummer, you should have EZdrummer (the kits) and the cocktail kit (extra).
To overdub drums after guitar, you would be best to record the guitar with a click track into a DAW. So that when you come to work on the drums with midi, the drums will be in time with the guitar.
A lot of professionals do this.
It just can be tricky because the drum sound has to work with the guitar sound and the drum part has to work with the guitar.
A lot of people like to know what their guitar groove is going to be, but commit the drum part and drum sound before committing the guitar.
Of course the beauty of Toontrack products is you can adjust drum parts and sounds as you go along.
When you launch EZdrummer for the first time, a screen with your computer ID will pop up.
You need both the serial number and the computer ID to authorize EZdrummer.
I think there are installation and authorization tutorial videos in the customer support area at toontrack.com
Craviotto kits are incredible.
Johnny Craviotto’s workmanship is superb, and the design of the kit (single ply) makes for an outstanding sound.
The kits in The Classic represent my take on the best sounding drums of the last 20 years.
Yamaha (80’s and 90’s), N&C Horizon (90’s, 2000’s) and Craviotto (today).
No, I can’t remember having worked with Phil Brown. Although many times in the 80’s I was called in for three or six hour sessions when the emphasis was on getting the job done, not chatting. So he may have been the engineer on a session and I’ve just forgotten.
