Unfortunately you have discovered the one real serious flaw in an otherwise excellent program. #77700 - 06/26/10 01:40 AM Re: Using EZ Drummer in BIAB and Real Band The work around was to run EZ in the supplied Solo program. Also after using RB to make some other songs using real drums when trying to use the EZDrummer plug in from RB to access the EZ grooves this no longer worked.

There was a problem in that each time a pattern was dragged and dropped from RB the previous pattern was deleted so I had to do the initial drag into a temporary RB track copy it then past into the actual drum track.ĭuring this copy and paste process I noticed if the cursor was not in the correct position RB would crash sometimes even requiring a total PC reboot. That is the good news.Īfter installation I could access the EZDrummer groove library from within Real Band and could drag and drop the drum grooves into RB tracks. It sounds great and makes the drum backings in the styles using Midi sound about as good as the Real Band tracks which has increased the number of useful styles many fold. Some other time.I have just purchased EZDrummer and have installed it as a VSTi plugin to Real Band.
You can clearly do more complex stuff – it would be nice to get the claps on an off-beat.

… and sounds like this (there is a download link in this if you want to save for offline playing): Then Bar 3 in EZD into bar 5 and 6, and finally Bar 4 in EZD into bar 7 and 8, giving you something that looks like this… Now, drag Bar 1 into the Reaper track, and then extend the bar in Reaper to make 2 bars, which repeat the loop, Press the Reaper Play button, and you will hear 2 bars, at 104 BPM, with no added effects:Īfter checking that works for you, drag Bar 2 up from EzDrummer, into bar 3, and extend into bar 4. In the screen, for each of bars 2 to 4 (but not bar 1, we’ll leave that as-is), you will select the Claps etc as shown by the orange, maroon, and white lines, so for bar 2, you only select (by clicking the On-Button symbol) the Claps, but for bar 4 you are selecting all 3 options:įor example, this is how Bar 4 looks, with all options selected: You will now add basic Claps, Shakers and Tambourines to bars 2 to 4 respectively (leaving Bar 1 as-is). Then click on the Browser tab and the menu options as I have done here:Ĭlick on Song Creator, and drag the highlighted midi into the MIDI drop zone:Then select, unselect and set Tempo to 104 (that’s my taste, anyway):ĭrag 4 copies of into Bars 1 through 4 (I’ll explain why in a moment): I have then answered No to this question:ĮzDrummer then comes up – I’ve picked these options for my example – you of course don’t have to, but it makes it simpler if you are following along: There follows an assumption that you have told Reaper where to look for your VSTs – email me if questions on that… Start a Reaper project as Administrator, then… The goal is to get a few bars working, and save that to SoundCloud so you can hear how my version sounds.

I’m using EZDrummer 2, the Cocktail drum set (which I think is a free add-on with EzDrummer), and the latest version of Reaper, all on Windows 10 pre-release. If you don’t do that, then the drag just fails silently.īeyond that point, this is largely about getting EzDrummer to do some of the “hard work” (quotes because nothing here is what a drummer would call hard work).

This is about how to use EzDrummer in Reaper – it may be the same for other DAWs, but I can only be certain for Reaper.Ī key point is that in order to drag bars from EzDrummer into the DAW Reaper, you need to run Reaper in Administrator mode.
