well i gave up trying to eq it. just use samples man and replace the kick and snare and if you can possibly find good toms replace those too. i did that and i got an amazing drum sound. try adding reverb to the toms and the hi-hat and the cymbals. itll help a little bit. and for the snare i would bring down the top snare -6 and bring the bottom up to 0. hope that helps
Thanks I will try that out later today. I have Sneap samples, but have no idea how to replace ezd with them?

Load a sampler (eg. Battery) and load the Sneap samples into that. Then route the midi track to both EZD and your sampler of choice.
That's how I do it, anyway.

How do you replace all the toms when the EZ routing is very limited in the EZ mixer? For example all toms are routed to channel 5 I think...and you can mix and match but you cant have anymore channels than whats already in the EZ mixer

Try what I suggested. When you route the midi track to BOTH the EZD and another sampler, you get every single note separately in the sampler. I've got my midi drum tracks routed to EZD and Battery2, and in Battery2 I have loaded different samples for kick, snare and all the toms. Works like a charm.

Ah right nice one, so since your loading your samples into Battery is this taking over the job of Drumagog? :O
Jarkko Mattheiszen

Exactly
The only difference being the fact that you won't be replacing over audio but rather triggering the sampler straight from the midi track. It can be a bit of resource hog, though, but even my very modest PC can handle it if the project isn't very complex

Exactly
Sounds like it could be complex but I havent actually tried it yet so I shall see what the crack is shortly
Gah my CPU dies at the slightest sight of a plugin Hopefully it will be able to cope Ohh btw does that mean its gonna print each cymbal hit? Rather than the EZ cymbal fader including all of them?EZ Drummer loads with 8 outputs default. In the EZ Drummer window, go to the mixer screen. Under each fader you see the assigned output. Click where it says "track 1" and a drop down appears. you can manipulate each drum to whichever track pleases you

Yes but you cannot exceed more than the original 8
You can mix and match but you cannot have all toms seperate, cymbals etc.

When you route a midi track to a multi-sample sampler like Battery, all the different midi notes (including each different cymbal and tom) will naturally trigger separate sample cells.

Im a total noob to routing, so im not actually sure how you route to both EZ and Battery....there are so many routing options...the furthest ive gotten is loading a sample into Battery and the signal coming through one of the EZ channels. Its all new too me.

I don't know which DAW you're using, but in Cubase you can route the track by opening the effects window of the midi track and selecting a send for it.

Im using Sonar 6. Urgh this is one of the downfalls with using software that not many use! Gavvvvinnn

Which midi track do your route? EZ's or Batterys?
Right this is a pic of my view showing all the things I can select for each Battery channel. I dont even know where to begin if im honest. Can you only have 4 samples per kick/snare etc?

If all I do is change EZ's actual midi track to output to Battery, it just comes through one of Batterys channels.
a couple things i'd like to mention...
1. you can replace the EZD sounds with drumagog - just load drumagog onto the midi track, then enable the MIDI input...you'll have to tweak things a bit differently than when triggering off of an audio spike, but it's not too hard.
2. in order to replace toms(i'm assuming we're talking about the DKFH), set up EZD's internal mixer so that the kick is on 1, both snare mics on 2, OH's and room on 3, then the toms can eat up the other 5 channels. render each tom track individually, import to DAW, and drumagog your samples of choice. after this, you can bounce the toms in EZD down to a single channel, and split up the other tracks how you choose.
as far as actually mixing the supplied EZD samples, i honestly haven't bothered trying, but probably will soon

Yeah all I need is the toms seperate basically. Thats the otherway of doing it....quite long but I know it will work.
The suppied toms are nice but no matter what I do to them I cant change them really. Splatt got some lovely tones out of them, damn him
