It also greatly depends on which kit you use as well as the type of music you are creating. If you get EZDrummer… spend a little more and get a couple different drum kits, it’s well worth the extra expense. Here’s the finished song that I’m talking about:ĮZDrummer is a great tool… once you learn how to “think” like a drummer and then start to put in the “human factor” of incidentals and accent hits the real big pitfall to avoid is to use the default kit and not work the track’s audio output or over work it. While setting the quantize strength to about 80% which almost snaps all the MIDI notes to grid, I’ve had to readjust the notes when I do the strumming part. A few months later when I posted my song to the KVR forum, they said that timing is very important, so I’ve had to re-release my song after reprinting MIDI into audio tracks again. That happened to my first song during the one-month challenge when at first I would set the randomize value to 5%, but then I tried setting it to 2% and released my song. Anything more than that would make the timing seem way off. Instead, I would set the randomize feature to about 1.25% or less. I would like to show images, but I don’t want to trip the “your post is awaiting moderation” in your blog. Qtractor (for Linux) has a randomize feature and the last time I tried, setting the randomize value to 5% seems to make timing go way off, even exceeding a starting duration of 64th note. Nice! I used to randomize MIDI notes slightly before I print them out to audio tracks for mixing.īut isn’t 10% too much? How far would the notes move within a 10% range? Is it 10% per beat or measure? i should note that a few cymbals do work depending on the midi file but often they don'tĬan you please offer advice or create a bug ticket on studio drummer so hopefully this can get fixed ? i can send you midi files if that helps but see the screenshot.

i've tried the superior drummer preset for midi mapping same result no cymbals. however on the toontrack midi file which says its compatible with ezdrummer this most likely should be a ride cymbal as there are no other cymbal midi notes being played at the same time so its not designed to be a choke looks like and wouldn't sound right anyway.

i understand in studio drummer that a choke articulation has to have another cymbal being played to do anything. the midi notes are landing on a note that makes no sound i looked at the midi mapping and the note the cymbal is on is mapped as 'China - Choke'. but the cymbals are often totally missing. Hello i am having an issue trying to map a toontrack ezdrummer compatible midi file to studio drummer using the ezdrummer midi mapping preset option available within the options on studio drummer
