Thanks! Years ago I bought a BeatBuddy and the SD card came with a bunch of midi grooves. This helped me import all the grooves into EZdrummer 3.
I have been a professional musician since 1979 (last time I had a 'job'). I just found out about your site an hour ago from a Toontrack EZD3 forum. Glad I did. I've been in the DAW world since the very beginning - Cakewalk, ACID, Logic, etc... I now use Studio One Pro. I have used Groove Monkey midi in the past and thought well of it. Today I find you and your sale AND Groove Monkey's sale AND they stack... boom! No brainer, bought the Mega MIDI pack. Just finished downloading and installing. And considering that lightening hit my front porch last night and lit it on fire (thank the stars for the fire extinguishers I'd invested in) I feel doubly blessed - my house didn't burn down and I scored the complete Groove Monkey midi library. Thanks, Shootie, you have a new subscriber and I will be sharing and recommending your channel.
Doc, you're message is fantastic and crazy! Welcome and thank you for taking the time to write. I'm glad your house is safe and your midi Browser if full. Cheers!
I dug the just woke up off the cuff presentation. Good stuff. And thanks for landing the double sale code for we users! Shootie School is unique.
Thanks for the feedback, Buzz!!! Did you change you username recently?
@@ShootieSchool Sorry, Sean, missed that. No, I don't think so..got wrapped up finishing a record, time to get back to EZD3, see what vids you're cooking up!
@@buzzhollandfrankgoodman1882 Another one coming this evening if you're hanging out.
Thanks so much for this! I JUST purchased EZ Drummer 3 and was looking for some heavier grooves. Toontrack has expansion packs for like $90 right now, so I used your code and picked up Groove Monkey's "High Octane" for like $17.00 and it sounds awesome!! Looking forward to more videos!
Awesome, great to hear! Brian, the Toontrack Expansion packs are $90 because they come with sounds as well. Toontrack does sell Drum Midi Packs for $30. Regardless there's still a savings with Groove Monkee.
This is a great Go To vid and tutorial if you are new to or even if you use 3rd party loops etc a lot. I just walked through buying and installing (then linking etc in EZD 3) and matched what happens (for me anyway) with the tutorial.... bang on. Note that the information on "organisation and navigation" is good stuff and good advice. I play/compose/record jazz - a niche and obscure so 3rd party data is common.... and reasonable organisation.
Another "tool" of strong value from Shootie.
Hey Brent!
Brent I got lost at "You have to know where the Midi folder Directory is located." I don't know where it's located or how to find it??? Any advice?
Great, thank you! I already own the Mega Pack, but I might go for the bass packs!
Same here.
They’re good grooves; I, too, have lots of their stuff!
Me too 95% of them
Hey man. Loving your work. Wondering if you could advise..... I would love to be able to print off the beats I've written so that I can give them to my drummer as sheet music for him to learn from. With that usually not being possible, I tend to export the beats I've written in cubase or reaper, and import them into musescore. To do that I usually have to set the midi up on channel 10 or else when musescore imports, it opens on a piano stave instead of a drum stave (not to mention the various other problems, like all the notes being in the wrong places on the stave (even when it is a drum stave!). I'm hoping that with EZDrummer3 there'll be a way to export the midi of beats I've written, such that I can import them into musescore on a drum stave but not sure how to do it as it is opening as a piano stave. Also hoping that it will put the notes in the right place on the drum stave! Or for an easier solution! I can't imagine why something like EZDrummer 3 doesn't have an option to convert drum midi to drum sheet music! haha, oh frustration.... thanks for any tips. Martyn
EZD3 does not have a feature like that at all. If you own EZD3, go to the main menu>Help>Show Midi Map Layout. Those are the notes that will be output for your original method. If you're in Reaper, you might be able to apply a midi filter that could reassign the notes, but I only know this methods works for incoming midi, not sure about outgoing midi.
@@ShootieSchool Hey thanks man. Your quick reply was very much appreciated. Shame EZDrummer 3 doesn't do this. But yeah, the map is great. Thanks again.
@@supergongspa You got it. Best of luck optimizing your situation.
@@ShootieSchool thanks man. EZ
Mmmm EZBass midi sounded sweeeeeeeet too cheers ☺️
It did.
@@ShootieSchool u probably didn't get my hit Monkey comment unless you're watched hit Monkey tv series on Disney plus
@@williamshaneblyth I have not caught one of your jokes or quotes yet! lol
@@ShootieSchool it's working then
@@williamshaneblyth One of these days
Yes I have Urgitone midi too and they always have great deals
Have you noticed that with their midi the tempo is not written in the meta data? Also that when it comes to fills that they may be a little too humanized, to put it politely? I bought a bit of it on sale, which was probably their older stuff. I was thinking that I would hope it improves in the new stuff which I have not tried yet. Regardless, the price is right over there. No complaints, just observations.
As always your videos are excellent! Question, can you place the midi files from grove monkey or toon track on a external SSD to save space on the internal hard drive.like you can do with Logic Pro X sound Library.Thanks in advance,
Yes. I cover it this Tuesday coming up in a new video. Do check back or subscribe with notifications.
I am going to pick up a new to me Mesa Boogie Mark Five 35 head tomorrow morning, it will take me a month tho to get the 2x12 closed back cab because they are on backorder :-(
You've got problems, dude. Thery're good problem, but still problems!!! It's been a while since i felt the weight of one of those, literally. Enjoy it, bud!
@@ShootieSchool lol, man i searched for my entire career for an amp like this, that did jazz to metal and did it all to perfection. I went through a ton of amps and gave up thinking an amp could be made that could do all the genres and cleans and dirty tones well. I used to use a mesa 5:50 and just used pedals for my dirt because i wasnt gonna carry around 2 amps to gigs. I actually had one of these before but I sold it thinking I had found a cheaper answer with in the box presets, I was satisfied for a long time but its just not the same as a real amp mic'd up.
Another question: I also have the Abbey Road drummers from NI which I never use. Could I load their midi into ez3? Or are they not compatible?
I have them imported into SD3, so should work fine 👍🤞
Certainly
the fun part is using the midi out feature to trigger other vst in your daw
What are you triggering besides ezdrummer? Or are you talking about the bass midi?
@@ShootieSchool in the settings there is a midi out feature you can enable . this feature is in both ezkeys/ezbass/ezdrummer/ when enabled I can send the midi to other midi channels in logic. I use to feature to trigger vet instrument. so I don't need to import a audio file to drummer to experiment with various sounds. FYI this feature was in ezdrummer2
@@issiewizzie I get it, thanks. I asked what your were triggering with it, like what drum software are you using besides EZD?
I'm hearing pops throughout your audio. Rewound and double checked that they're in the audio and it wasn't random during playback. Go to 1:26 and listen to the word "audition" and then a few seconds later in the word "folder". I heard these during the whole video but those were two places I noticed close together enough that you could check them. PS - where are you from, roughly? I lived in Minnesota until I was 11 but then we moved to Acton, MA and half the kids sounded just like you! I sounded like Jerry Lundegaard from Fargo.
This was a quicky temporary vid and I didn't have time to work out the issue. Yup, from MA!!
Hello! I just linked the midi from my Native instrument Studio Drummer folder but the midi mapping is off. I'm getting tom hits when it's supposed to be hi-hat. How do I fix that in EZD3?
When you Import a Linked Folder, you can right click on it and select a Mapping Preset. Though this is intended for Ekits, not other software manufacturers. SO you could test those maps out, otherwise, I'm not sure what the solution inside EZD. Certain DAWs have plugins to remap midi, like Cubase and Reaper. If NI isn't using the drum midi standard, then that's an inconvenience from NI unfortunately. Some companies do that.
@@ShootieSchool thanks. I’ll check it out.
Hey Shawn, not sure if you're still reading comments on this video - I added my GetGoodDrums MIDI to EZD3 - the notes all play correctly despite the fact that GGD's mapping is different (kick and snare are an octave lower than most other MIDI libraries), so it was nice to see that EZD3 was able to figure that part out automatically. But, there's still some kind of tempo issue going on - I have to set the Tempo in the EZD3 Grooves player to 2x to get the GGD grooves to play at their intended tempo. Further, the "Original Tempo" button has no effect on these grooves. Just wondering if you have any experience with a case like this? I realize that this video was focused on Groove Monkee grooves, but I thought this was the closest video of yours to post this at.
I only own one of their older products. And the meta data in the midi works as it should. I would contact GGD drums about it.
I've found that their files are the least friendly 3rd party midi files for EZ, but I have not put extensive time on playing with them either.
@@ShootieSchool Right on, will do, thanks!
Do you still use your twitter profile? I threw you props and asked a question. I also tagged a brand so that maybe you'd get more appreciation.
I haven't logged into it in a long time until your post. DO you find a lot of support and collaboration on there compared to other platforms?
@@ShootieSchool I get a lot of help there and give a lot. I'm new to audio and video but have a lot of experience from my previous career field. So I help people where I can with a lot of things and engage them on a number of matters. I have 2 profiles for 2 different industries... But I find it is very useful for direct collaboration & networking.
Does groove monkey midi work with tap to find / band mate?
I would like to know that to 😀
Certainly.
@@maciejczyz1050 Certainly.
This didnt work for me
Elaborate if you want.
Hey brother I sent a message to Toontrack and got no response. I sent a video to the Face Book group. When you have time to check it out I really appreciate it and appreciate you always answering my messages. Means a lot. I have watched all your videos since I found your channel a while back and they have helped me big time over the last couple years
