I need a drum pedal or some thing?

I got ezdrummer 3 now playing around with it. Thank you too for suggesting it. Now I need to find for some good tutorials

30

Like the Pinball Wizard, play by intuition ! Just mess with it and experiment. Best way to learn and you can’t break it ! Simples. :sunglasses:

31

I have the mini. There’s no manager software. You have to dial up all the settings individually each time.

32

Yes, the mini would be limiting.

33

So far I am struggling to learn. I am sacrificing my guitar practice time on this software. Video tutorials out there are not well organized.

34

The whole day I was playing with this software. unfortunately, they do not have a refund policy and I did not have an option to try the software before buying. ( Wonder if this is a normal practice :slight_smile:
I Will some day learn but for now I must say it is a overkill and not that much easy.

35

I’m surprised I’ve always been impressed with ezDrummer and what it does…in most respects superior to any pedal. Just looking at this tutorial >> Toontrack EZdrummer 3 Bandmate - The Killer Feature - YouTube they’ve added some nice features to get something to match what you’re playing as well.

Maybe record some of what you’re trying to do and share it on here. No doubt people will be able to perhaps help.

36

Ditto to what Rossco is saying, its very straight forward,

What are you trying to do or set up at the moment. I have only done a couple of desktop captures in OBS for some of our Open Mic tech threads but if you can give me an idea I may be able to knock a video up. No promises but I’ll try if you give me a starting point. :wink:

In this video I simply used a free plugin with reaper

Man you should be sharing your playing in AOVYP, you are good ! To be honest this kind of track needs no drum beat it works fine on its own. The drums will just muddy the waters !!
But I’ll see what I can do, can you let me know the BPM ? Did you transcribe from piano to guitar ?

Cheers

@TheMadman_tobyjenner Definitely Toby. It would be good for Tom to share some of his playing material and knowledge with the community so that we can enjoy his music and learn from him. I can see where Tom is going with the drum beat, it would be better without the symbol.

Yeah something simple.

@iguitaryou Tom EZD should have some basic samples that would work with this. About to eat but will try and do a desktop capture later. :sunglasses:

41

Thanks guys , Perhaps I am Perfectionist, My wife said actually the same thing , she says I should not make things complicated and let the guitar do it alone :slight_smile:
The reason that I am concerned about is my songs , I am making a new channel that I will upload Orginal songs I have made and I want harmonica and drum in it and I need electric guitar as well .
A lot to learn :slight_smile:

Tom, it’s definitely worth sharing these videos of you playing in the AVOYP section rather than within equipment questions. Watching that video now made me remember the first two songs you posted which was difficult to find again.

OH sorry, I am not sure what AOVYP stands for. Can you kindly send me the direct link?

Hi Tom - Audio or Video of You Playing. It’s where you can post recordings of yourself making music to share with the community and view the recordings of others to give support and/or feedback.

Tom, I would also suggest that you visit this link and post an introduce yourself to the community post, telling us a little bit about yourself and your musical background as I don’t seem to recall you having created one.

I see there are quite a few differences between EZD3 which you have just bought and EZD2 which I have. A desktop demo probably will not help, so I dug around for some tutorials and this one seems to be quite reasonable explaining the basic and enough to get you going. Jump in at 5:15 that should be the area you need to look at for selecting rhythms and patterns you are after. But the best way is as I said before is to just mess around with the samples and you will find something useable. A little cheat I found was to sometimes half the BPM to get a more laid back beat. Example you want something that fits 75 BPM, checkout some of the styles going a bit mental at 150. Drop them to 75 and they may just fit/

Hope that helps.
