    Ahoi!
    I just stumbled across your channel and zapped through your videos - I like your detailed and calm way of explaining things. Also the fact that you break it down to a very easy understandable, digestible way.
    I love Toontrack Products, I started using them a few months ago and I'm happy that there are people like you who share a lot of knowledge, tips and tricks. Thank you for that!
    It's astonishing how easy it seems for you to make something sound good.
    I wish you all the best for 2023, keep rocking! 🤘🙂

    This is an awesome video. I have the Singer-Songwriter packs for EZD, EZB, and EZK. They are supposed to all be counterparts too, but none of the drum grooves are the same as those in bass and keys.

    Reaper has Kenny Gioia. Toontrack is making a HUGE mistake by allowing you to run free, off of the Toontrack payroll. What if you decide to focus on other, non toontrack topics? You should be PAID by Toontrack full time. Their mistake.

    Awesome stuff. In EZKeys, make sure the "Preview in original tempo" checkbox is UNCHECKED. Otherwise it won't sync up properly. Also (and I think everyone knows this, but just in case) make sure the "Follow Host" options are checked in EZK and EZD. Otherwise the BPM won't be correct.

    How did you open many EZ instances in Ableton simultaneously? I can only open one instance at the same time (either EZbass or EZkeys) Cubase, by the way, doesn't have these problems.

      Look for it in the Preferences. It's not a "pin" button like most DAWs, it's a universal option somewhere in the prefs.

    Hey Shawn, I got how you did each of the midi tracks and dragged them down into each program, but still mystified, how you got your daw to play it. I watched, but no understand bro. Do you have to record it into your daw to show it there. I saw just blank sections in your daw, even though it was playing the entire section of the song.

    • @ShootieSchool
      @ShootieSchool  Рік тому

      I'm using the Song Track in the Toontrack products. If that doesn't answer your question... Ask me a more particular question and tell at what time it happens in the video for a better reference. Thanks!

    With regards to the "collaboration packs" is it worth buying them in their assigned trios? I know this is a very subjective question. Most of my midi packs were bought randomly. And frequently with excellent results. But now I'm wondering whether the investment in the additional packs is a great idea. Any thoughts?

    • @ShootieSchool
      @ShootieSchool  Рік тому +1

      For someone who's not good at editing melody, i think the matching bass and keys packs are very valuable. Otherwise I think it's totally subjective whether these are are valuable or not.

    I tried this with the Reggaepacks (Drums, Bass and Keys) and there are no songs to match up, there are just beats, fills and intro fills in teh drums so it dont work with all your packs.

    • @ShootieSchool
      @ShootieSchool  10 місяців тому

      The Drums pack of Reggae does not claim to work like that. There should be some matching songs in the EZK/EZB midi packs though. Maybe you have to match the keys or something.

    Great stuff! I can confirm the British invasion "cooperative midi packs" work great together. I used the "Time of the Season" song for one of mine. Eve though the midi is 'comparable" to an old 60's song, if you change chords, voicings, and pull and push things around etc. It really becomes yours. ua-cam.com/video/orlz23OmqKQ/v-deo.html

      I like your track! Thanks for mentioning it. 2 months ago I did the research for the collaboration midi, and they didn't confirm on their site at that time British Invasion. Thanks, Spokansas!
