The one thing I DO like about the Slate stuff is the amount of kits. I'm watching some 25 minute overview now. Well, as you said, I'm not looking to mix drums from the ground up so maybe EZ2 and one of the metal packs might be worth checking out.
I have another drumjam just about ready to go. I have seen it in 2, ubut haven't found my way to or through it yet. I really don't have a legitimate contribution to this thread other than to say there's no reason using EZDrummer 2's Tap2Find thing shouldn't work fine for creating MIDI files that can trigger Slate Drums, you just might have to change some of the note settings for each drum to make sure they're being triggered by the same notes as with EZDrummer.ĮZ1 has a "Humanize" function that I never messed with. That's more my style than pre-processed, but even if I was going for pre-processed stuff, I've heard a lot of EZDrummer 2 clips that I've found really impressive, but I just don't dig the Steven Slate sound at all I guess.
Since you're looking for 'sound awesome already, I got badass guitar tracks to lay down and don't wanna fuck with drum mixing', they'd probably be frustrating (although it does have its own mixer, like the Slate stuff, and there are 'mix ready' presets for each kit, but I don't think they sound good). Superior Drummer doesn't have any fancy stuff like that (but it does have some included MIDI grooves), and UI-wise it's pretty simple, but the samples are all totally unprocessed so they're designed to be mixed from the ground up like real drums. I'm not trying to sell you on Superior Drummer stuff, I just wanted to semi-troll. LOL! I want the best sounding drums I can get with EASY implementation! Does Superior Drummer have the Song Creator as well? Are there more than 5 kits cuz that's all EZ2 has, no? So if you need to justify your SSD investment, stay away from EZDrummer. But nothing tops the Rock Warehouse and Joe Barresi Evil Drums SDX expansions for me.Īnyway all I'm sayin' is that if you spend the money on EZDrummer 2, you might end up switching over for good and not touching SSD at all. To be fair, a ton of the Superior stuff doesn't do it for me either. I do like using the shells as low-level samples for blending with Superior though, but I've gravitated away from that lately. They're the McDonalds of drum sounds to me. I've been using 3.5 since early 2009 and 4 since whenever it was that they came out so I have a ton of experience with 'em too. How does EZ handle making shit not sound like a machine gun?
EZ DRUMER SONG CREATOR FULL
I make pretty believable beats if I do say so myself but I would like to make that a bit easier so it doesn't take me a WEEK to program a full song that is "humanized" well. I have drum loops I've bought that I manipulate myself or just create beats from scratch.
So even though things are laid out by style/genre, you can choip anything up almost any way you want. For example, if there is a fill that you like maybe the second half of, just cut it at the time marker and then copy and paste it or whatever. Being able to click the mouse to lay down a rhythm in time is awesome.Īlso, and I don't know if SS does this, but you can clip/cut any section and then splice it all back together how you want it. But the selection doesn't always fit what I want. That's where I can lay down my own stuff. Thing with EZ that has me so jazzed is the Tap2Find function. I just think SSD are way overrated.īut how do you really feel? I have used Slate for the last 6 years or so, so my experience is limited. Steven Slate, some of the EZ expansion kits mop the floor with the ridiculously fake, one-dimensional sounding Steven Slate stuff. And personally I hate pre-processed drums (which is why I work with Superior), but just based on EZ vs. But I have to say.I've heard clips of EZDrummer/EZDrummer 2 kits that absolutely SLAY anything I've heard (or produced myself) from Steven Slate Drums. If it comes down to it, you could just tweak the kits and change which notes trigger which hits on which drums so that they match. But I do recall figuring out that the cymbals and hats were at least a little bit different way back in the day.ĭefinitely possible though, since MIDI is MIDI. I think it's the cymbals and hats though because I've used Slate to make kick/snare/tom close-miked tracks to blend with Superior as a base sound, and I don't think I had to do any remapping for those. I use Superior and the MIDI maps are indeed a bit different.
