ezdrummer : replacing original midi with other midi files...

[Mat Laperle]

hey, I've got ezdrummer with the ezx metal expansion kit, but all the kicks sound like real shit.... But the kick from the rock/pop kit is way better, and I was wondering if it was possible to import this one in the metal kit?. i tried moving the files from the original folder to the metal folder, but no results... so if anyone know how to do it please tell me hehe! because the only other way i see is to replace it with drumagog but it takes a lot of cpu...
thanks!

bus the kick output and use aptrigga on the bussed track with the rock kick you sampled before.
EDIT: with exdrummer you can have multiple outputs

anyone know how to do this in PT?

 

[kaomao]

sure: in PT create many aux tracks as you want, on the input of the aux track select the output of ezdrummer you need.
Now you're done

 

[AudioPhile777]

yeah, when I do that, the entire kit comes through.

the only way I've been able to do it thus far is to bounce the tracks to audio and continue as usual with that.

Rather than deal with replacement, to get the pop/rock kick combined with the rest of the metal drums you can just copy your midi file to a new track, create another instance of EZD Drummer and select that as your MIDI output. Then go into the EZD GUI, select only the pop/rock kick (and set all the other drums in that kit to "none" to save RAM). Go back and set the kick from the Metal kit to "none" and you're good to go. This should also be relatively CPU friendly as the two instances of EZD share resources.

1) On Ezdrummer choose multiple out put in the mix window.
2) Create the aux track, as input select the kick output

As I get home I can check better

Ah... I didnt know the button existed in the mix window... guess I dont pay attention much when I'm trying to lay ideas down... thats usually the only time I touch DFH...

When I say the mix window, I mean the mix window inside the ezdrummer window, not the Protools mix window.

here is the ezdrummer mixer

clicking on the output it will show you that menu.
Set it to multitrack, follow the other tips I posted and you're ready to go
