EZdrummer Bitrate ?

[trym^^]

hey got another question!
ezdrummer has its qualitites but overall has to be
tweaked hard to get punch and fatness.
my experience is that - somehow - triggered samples don't sound up
to par with those triggered out of dfhs, and thats significantly
audible in the mix - am i just being paranoid or is this caused by ezds
lower bitrate which acts like a filter after aptrigga ?

I would say it's more about EzDrummer being made for rock, not metal. It's same reason why you don't use Fender amps for metal guitars That's not what it was made for.

Yes you can use EzDrummer for metal, but it just won't sound as good as it can. At least that what I've learned by now. No matter how much you tweak them, it will sound a bit boxy and muddy in the faster parts, except for the 13" piccolo snare which I love in EZD, though it could be just a little fatter.

EZD is 16bit/44.1

If you're using EZ Drummer for metal, chances are you have all (or most) of your hits at maximum velocity. Why then, would lower bit depth (not rate - we're not talking about data compression here) be a possible problem?

Are you using the EZD mixer to mix the kit or are you routing each piece to the DAW individually?

What does apTrigga have to do with it?

I dont have any problem with EZD, its got shed loads of punch for me. Triggered samples sound sweet too

mh sorry i'm german, need to elaborate more - my question was:
is it possible that the same scenario like individual mixed and replaced snares
sound different through dfhs and ezdrummer?
thats what i notice - same sample through aptrigga, same treatment and all of that completely out of the gui of the respective vst - but still different
cut-through in the mix.

EZD is preprocessed according to the technician in the studio used in the library. DFHS is unprocessed.
