The more I'm looking and reading, for the type of music i'm doing (generally quiet indie stuff - nothing too BIG sounding), that I might be able to get away with EZ Drummer and a couple of expansion packs (I'm thinking Nashville and vintage).

Great bunch of people.īob, that song sounds great - drums are superb? Is that mostly using included grooves with some slight editing by you or were they played with an edrum setup? Once you start getting involved on their forum ( Toontrack Support Forum ) you'll start interacting with the Toontrack folks, even the CEO posts on there frequently. They just keep putting out awesome products, and their service is second to none.

I used BFD for about a year (actually hardly used it because I hated it, especially the interface), and when I got EZdrummer, I was so mad that I hadn't just gotten EZD in the first place, cause it was so fun and easy to use, and sounded awesome.Īll in all, I've become a big fan of Toontrack over the past half year or so. Once you experience the EZD interface you'll understand what I'm saying. Sometimes using a more complicated tool than you need for a certain job is as much a hindrance as using a tool that's not complicated enough. EZD is just a real easy tool to do it with.

You may want to get to the music part of things ASAP and get that drum track layed down and out of the way. You may have a song you just wrote (or a client wrote that they want to demo quickly). EZD can't do anything that S2.0 can't do (other than it's just easier), but it's quicker and easier to lay down a drum track that's already 'produced' and ready to go. S2.0 is a totally different animal than EZD. (sorry for all the questions - i tend to do way too much research before spending money on things!)Research is a good thing, I do the same. Isn't SD 2.0 just a much better version of ez drummer? Why would people be reverting back to ez drummer sometimes if they have sd 2.0? What functionality does ezdrummer offer that sd 2.0 doesn't? And if you have links to anything you've done with S2.0, I'd love to hear it.įair enough, quick question though - and I haven't been able to figure this out by looking at comparison charts on the site. I'd appreciate any insight from anyone who has experience using the included grooves to create music. Does anyone have experience using Superior Drummer 2.0's included midi grooves? How versatile are they? Do they sound real enough that it will finally let me make a decent recording of music without fake drum sounds/grooves holding me back? Lastly, perhaps BFD2 (though more expensive) would be better for my needs? Most of the videos I've seen online are of drummers playing the sampled sounds. I've been piping Reason through Cubase but overall, the drums come up lacking.Īnyway, I'm considering investing in Superior Drummer 2.0 because it looks like it could be my answer. I have a ton of great songs I really just haven't been able to do a whole lot with because of this. Hey everyone - my lack of knowledge on drum theory/composition and lack of any good friends that play drums that can be recorded at decent quality have been holding me back for a long while.
