EZ-ly the best videos on how to use Toontrack products on UA-cam! The videos are so well written and presented.
Thank you for always commenting, Shining. It's a big help!
"This video is for beginners" as you said , but also SLOW LEARNERS like myself ! Thank you for your work , and keep on rocking in a free world in 2023 !
Thank you for the feedback, JFK. Similar videos coming soon!
I just noticed you just became a member. Thank you so much for the support JFK!!!!!
100% JUST AWESOME!!
Thanks mate , that was a great video , simple to understand and straightforward .
You got it!
This is a great tool, not only for songwriting, but also to quickly make backing tracks, which you can use to practice your instrument to (instead of just practicing with a metronome).
For instance : i want to practice that Stevie Ray Vaughan series of riff but i don't have a legit backing track or i don't wanna practice to the metronome only... Now with this i can quickly make a makeshift drum track to play along to.
You can even go further and also use different sounds, mixes (with the mixer), and stuff, to get used to play alongside different type of sounds.
By that i mean : in a live environment it is very likely you will just hear cymbals very high, and a distant live kick drum. So to practice being comfortable playing in those conditions, just tweak a mix that sounds like this, using the Toontrack mixer : mute the shell close mics, open the ambiance mid mic with all bleed on but reduce the bleed of the shells, and maybe add an ambiance mic that has only the kick for bleed, and lowpass it to make it sound round and a bit undefined...
On the other hand, you might wanna get used to having a IEM mix, which is likely gonna have no ambiance, and mostly close mics, with slight eq/gate/comp on them.
Or maybe you can practice listening to the HH mic only, or OH only, or just the kick in and the snare top mic. Etc
Very helpful. Thank you.
You got it!

I liked this video PURELY for all those open tabs 4:30
(This is also a crazy in depth tutorial, thanks mate)
Thank you, R2R!
haha good catch
This is a fun one, Shawn! I tend to over analyze so I build up backing tracks slower than I should most of the time. I’m going to sit down right now and knock out 5 to 10 tracks like this.
Creatively Free in ‘23!
Thank you! If you have time, let me know your experience with it.
Always learn something from these videos, Thanks man!
Thank you, Michael!
Fantastic video, as per the always! Your stuff is always what I recommend to people starting out and I can say, confidently, that there's no better teacher out there. Rock onward, my friend!
You are the best!
Thanks! Good content! Do you have a single video where you build a song using EZKeys, EZDrummer, and EZBass together?
Love this! Thank you Shawn.
Awesome, thank you Jack!
Thanks. Helpful to see, as I learn.
Awesome!
That's actually such a great suggestion, to just play around with the program and see how things work. Like somebody else said, I tend to overthink some of this stuff.. I need to think less and play more....... Thanks as always Shawn.
I wish I said that in the video, "think less and play more". Thank you for your support, Rocky!!
this is a great video, well done and informative
Great to hear. Thank you so much for saying!
Toontrack pay attention! If Shootie decides he likes a competitors product better than yours, I'm gonna switch along with him because I want to be able to stay in step with his videos.
Lol!!!
Thanks for the great vid BUT my problems start where this finishes. I have trouble building chords in the for piano and bass on top of the drum track. .i could use lotsa help here. Do you have a vid like this showing the other steps?
Not specifically for that, yet.
@@ShootieSchool ok. Thanks. I hope you will soon. Perhaps you think others have already done that and some have. But your style of teaching would be beneficial. Thanks for all you do..
Are these packs worth the price? For the bundle with Mix, Bass, ez drummer and ez keys it’s around $700 aud. The price is really good but I’m not sure if it’s worth getting
That's a good question. I couldn't encourage such a leap unless you have a history of learning software well. It's a steep learning curve to take all of there products on at once. You may want to start with the one product that seems the most inspiring before you go all in. At the end of the day, each product does have some EZX features, perfecting each product is a serious time investment. Hope that helps.
I'm having trouble with getting the way the drums sound when I play it through ez drummer, and then when its recorded onto my DAW, and play it back, the quality isn't the same. I don't know if I'm missing a step in between. It took a while to even know how to get what I did on ez drummer recorded into my DAW, as every tutorial seems go skip that step.
Like, the cymbals sound like they are sizzling. Any ideas?
If you're sure you're hearing that, there is a flaw somewhere in the workflow. When you say you're recording, that means you're an edrummer or you're literally performing on a midi controller?
Also you should clarify, what does "onto my daw" mean? You can use EZ in standalone mode. You can use EZ in your DAW but keep the midi in EZ. Or you can use EZ in your DAW but also have the midi in your DAW.
good morning Shootie
Billy!!
Hi not sure if my question appeared in the comments i don't know how to get the drum groove to show in the midi track after creating in the daw
By midi track, do you mean the Song Track in your Toontrack plugin? If so, you may have export it first. All DAWs behave differently.
@@ShootieSchool thanks for response yeah I meant the song track how do I move the track I create in that to the host midi or even audio track, again thanks for response I'm using mixcraft 9 .
@@kengagnon6192 I might play with it and let you know when I get some time. There are a few mixcraft users in my facebook community, if you're interested in getting their feedback. The link is below in the description of this vid.
Good stuff here. As someone who is already substantially invested in EZD3, and uses it pretty much exclusively as a songwriting tool, I can't seem to find a reason to even look at "upgrading" to Superior Drummer. Am I missing something?
Not if you're content, no way. I would only recommend for three main reasons. If EZ does not meet your mixing requirements, more raw and less treated sounds, and pro edrummers.
When SD4 comes out, it might be a much longer list. We'll see.
Thank you, Derek!
Will there ever be an EZ Guitar plugin?
Impossible to answer. TT doesn't disclose this stuff. They've only revealed that new versions on EZB, SD, and EZmix are coming.
