I automatically heard Devin Townsend's voice on this bit of song you've just created :).
Informative as always, Ola! Thank you for the video.
Thanks so much for posting this Ola! I've been considering getting ezkeys for a while. After I watched this, I was sold. It's an awesome songwriting tool! Thanks again!
Your tutorials about the products of TOONTRACK are very essential and extremely helpful. Thank You for that.
Awesome vid Ola.. Love the idea you came up with. Great job with explaining the Toontrack programs in a way we can all understand!
Enjoyed the walkthrough of features and chord modifications, thanks for making this video step by step!
God, Ola. I have Washburn guitars and EZ Drummer 2 and EZ Keys. And, no, I didn't copy you. Its just where I ended up through my 46 years of guitar playing experience. Looks like we landed on the same cloud. I've been using EZ Drummer and EZ Keys for about 5 years now and its exactly like you say in the video, you can get lost changing up everything so that the songs you create aren't anything like the samples that's in the midi libraries. There's even a way you can lay down drum tracks from a guitar chord progression using the tap feature that will pull up drum tracks that match your tempo, which means you can actually start to arrange the song using the guitar parts first, then add drums, keys etc. I love these products from ToonTrack. Makes getting song ideas up and running very quickly.
Just downloaded EZKeys grand piano and mellatoon yesterday. According to the reviews I read they don't have the absolute best sound and all the options of other, far more expensive products but they sound good and more importantly are quick and easy to use. One still needs a tutorial or two to find all the cool stuff in the programs and I found your video extremely helpful
Man that song you wrote has a nice periphery vibe to it, love it dude!
Absolutely brilliant. thanks so much Ola. be purchasing it cheers
just got this plug in and your video was a great introduction to its capabilities. Thanks !
Love your vids man. Been researching this software and I really think it's exactly what I'm looking for. On a silly note, the second time I watched this I imagined your narration in the voice of Strongbad! lol! Not knocking your English bro, I'm just silly like that. Keep being awesome dude. You rock!
My inspiration need to see more stuff like this, thanks Ola!
3:13 the music drops out and he says "There is a guide inside the plugin... I told you already" (dramatic pause). Sh**hurt my feelings fr fr. Felt like I just got sent to bed with no dinner.
That shit got to me too
LMAOOOOO Same
Omg I said the same thing; I'm like why is he talking to me like that,lol
lmao! i though the same thing.
Me too....lol.
Awesome video Ola. Thank you!
Really... Nice tutorial! Made me interested! Good job!
As far as sounds go, I think it's hard to beat Addictive Keys, but it looks like EZkeys offers some really cool features as far as transforming and constructing chords as the click of a button. Definitely intrigued.
thanks!..i'm checking out the demo,very helpful
great clarity, good demo
thank u so much for this man
great job ola thanks keep up the great work
Ola you rock even with ezkeys thank you again
This was awesome man! Cheers
THAT GUITAR SOUNDS SO FREAKING AWESOME!
Yet the drums sound fake as hell. No one will accept such production on the radio.
love the cripsy quality ola!!
"I told you already." You made me laugh. Thanx.
Wow ! You used your real voice on a tutorial ! You've changed =((((( !
Just kidding ! Really glad you come back doing some videos !
You are amazing !
+Florent charter you haven't seen my latest 5-7 tutorials then. I've been talking way too much..
+Ola Englund Alrighty ! Didn't watch the plugins tutorial because I wasn't in need of it, but I am now ! So it is nice that you made them =) Again thanks for your videos, a real bless ! Try touring in France with Feared !
I'm crying with you, this is beautiful!
I guess I didn't know EZKeys was a thing. Definitely going to but this. Thanks Ola
can you share with us that short track you made, Ola?
Super awesome as always...and btw- thx a lot for this GEMA shit...feels good to watch your stuff without proxy in Nigeria ❤️
Ahoy Ola! Thanks again for the amazing tutorial and inspirational fuel!
I was wondering, if you can use your (computer)keyboard a little like the one of a piano. Like going all Beethoven on your keyboard while EZkeys provides a nice piano sound. I don't have a midi controller or a synthie or something of that sort.
Greets from Germany,
Cheers!
very helpful! thanks
Wow, that rock was totally unexpected ... !!
That mix was way too damn loud haha
I’m crying too man!
Wooooah a new tutorial :)
Nice tutorial! Just curious, what studio monitors are you using in this video?
Cool tutorial Ola :).
Did you write Dygder using this program?
Nice!!, måste verkligen kolla in denna plug in mer!, btw vart hittade du den där stolen??. Har letat fan överallt efter en stol utan armstöd, men nada luck...keep up the good work (y)!
Subscribed for the subtle lols
Thanks Ola. This had me envisioning guitar parts to play over your piano melodies :) Really wanna get this program for myself and start writing with it.
Ola, It sounds like you really enjoy the piano, why not learn it? I am metal guitarist, but I started learning the piano at a young age long before guitar, it has helped me in countless ways and I could not recommend that you learn it enough!
Hi Ola! Do you think you can make a tutorial for mastering with EzMix when you have time? It would be great! Cause even with the almost same gear, I never got a great sound after recording for now. Thanks you !
There's a God inside to explain you!? WOW!
I kept thinking during the whole video "And how does this fit in with your guitar playing?", then I heard the song and I thought "So that's how......"
Those samples actually sound great. Was there any post-fx on them?
Thank you so much for this review. it was veyr helpful. i have 2 questions if you can be so kind as to answer (if you can). 1 -If I export a song I make (in MIDI format) can I thien import it into any DAW and put my won sounds to it instead of relying on the sounds from EZKeys? This way I can get a nice organ sound instead of buying the organ add-on. 2 - I dont know music theory nor do i really care (at this present time) to learn it. i just want some chords for my DAW to accompany my guitar. Can I just drag and drop chords I made from EZKeys into my DAW? I notice that if i try to make a chord block longer, or mess with patterns, it keeps adding it's own chord changes (assuming that is part of the music theory.
Vilket paket av EZDrummer 2 använde du där? Made of Metal?
Hi, I'm interested in knowing, with which music program, they work best as a package, EZCHords, Odesi, Captain chords or the Scaler.
I love creating different things for my music.
But I've noticed that I need to invent and buy new software,
for this I ask you, what do you recommend, use Sonar, but the company as I know it does not exist.
I also use Finale, since I am a pianist and I like to see music, in the old way, since I did to the U in the 80s when midi was in its infancy.
What do you recommend?
I love these new software, but they do not work for me.
I like windows better
Thanks for your help.
Thanks! That helped a lot!;-)
Thank you
right on bro!!! ;) stay till the end people you be glad you did ;)
Does the big knob in ezkeys add more additional note varations using there algorithms, like it does in EZDrummer?
thank you
That Gmadd9... Heaven.
Hahaha, DAMN that sounded awesome!
Awesome. Admitting to have no theory knowledge and still making awesome music is fucking inspirational.
/coffee!
this looks so awesome, i'm like crying right now :-P ;-)
would love it if you could post this track you made for download.
Gae
I thought you were going to punch your fist through your monitor around 3:08....so glad you didn't. Great tutorial...thanks!
Man you destroyed the beginning piano part like hell with the rest of the arrangement.
Nope, that's what makes this key truly creative - he took a bland preset style, and turned it into some awesome alt rock...and you didn't see it coming. A hack would have just went with the original idea.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. I love metal but the guitars really ruined the song, they just drown out the beautiful piano melody. The guitars were too loud but even if the volume was stabilised I'm not sure the piano and guitars would even work together. Like I said, I love metal but not every song has to be "Metalised."
It was so amazingly loud, I was actually startled slightly. That mix just got blasted out by hard rock guitar sounds
When is the Mesa Oversized handle IRs coming out!
Hey Ola! How do you get such massive low end without getting it too muddy?
Well done on the video . Couldn't have done better my self haha
Hey, man!! Nice work! Do you know how to edit the midi files? I mean, can I remove the left hand notes (low keys) and leave just the left hand (high keys) from a midi file?
Another question. When I use a rhythm midi and make some changes (add 7, remove 3, add low/bass notes....), this change only happens in the first attack/notes. All other notes from the rhythm sequence will play the notes of original midi file. Is there any way to edit these files in EzKeys?
Yes
Awesome now ezkeys 2 out 16th may
Can't wait😂
7:06 Type O Negative Bloody Kisses... Beautiful
I have a question. once I have used a midi pattern from the browser I'm not able to go back to just simple chord blocks again. how do I do that?
monitors look solid, what model? name please!
Fun for days? More like fun for a lifetime. It's a great tool.
what kind of ur DAW when u were recording the piano?
and also what kind of ur DAW when you blend or mix between piano, guitar, and drum?
Please answer my question!🙏🏾 i would really apreciate it..🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
He said he uses Logic Pro
The final part with guitars reminded me of Devin Townsend
Herrlich!
Sad voice bro :C talk with me, let me help you .
Thanks for the video Ola, helps a lot !!
"I TOLD YOU. ALREADY. OK?"
Also can anyone see what plugin did Ola put on the stereo output track in this video?
Hi Ola! What are those monitors?
impressive overwhelming options
StrongBad teaches EZKeys. Homestar Runner Lives!
5:38 im crying right now haha
fuck yeah! new video!:D
Does this work with FL Studio's DAW?
Why is the track starting on beat 2 of the measure? Who does that?
I do that, so you have 4 clicks to get ready while recording ;)
Ola skilllll
I love tech, thanks to who ever invented this. I an lyric composer and do not play neather the gitar or the piano. I feel like handy cap that can't move and toontrack has come as a protesis for me. No daut in buying it as soon as posible !!!
Which version of ez keys is this??
Why did you have to blow the fuse in Karlstad man? ;)
You can only choose piano sound ? What about some more metal sounds like stratovarius , kamelot style ?
+aris koskinas
You mean like synth or a string sound? You could always just grab the midi and put it on another track with the VST you want.
what is the library on ezdrummer?
Crying 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
can you actually use the sounds by you know playing a synth plugged into your computer?
Yes!
Is that how you made an intro for Silent Screaming?
damn bro the end part totally f*cked it up!
Does this work with Reaper?
I'm crying right now.. haha
I'm crying too...
What kind of chair are you using?
+myrtorp Check Ikea.
I think it's called Markus from Ikea and he hasn't attached the arms
mudbuddha109 Ooh Thanks man! This must be destiny, it has the same name as me! Cheers!
@King Brilliant One with a hole in the middle.
Once in logic can you make is synth or something else?
+William Shapiro just drag out the midi from ezkeys to whatever synth you want
What's a good free synth plug-in? I'm using REAPER as my DAW. I would love to purchase EZ Keys if I could put some subtle synth stuff behind my guitar.
"There's a God inside the plugin" You can say that again!
Which one of the gods? 5000 monotheist... hard to choose the worst of them...
Can you get sounds other than piano for this? i.e strings ect.
+Ian Moore There are a few different pianos and an organ, but (as far as I know) there aren't any orchestral expansions.
Are the drums all EZ2 drummer?
Did you basically just open up your EZkeys plugin and randomly hit buttons and then you came up with the beautiful mind-blowing piano intro to your Solar part I project?
+Randall Halo a limiter maybe
+George Cherouvim If it is then it's definitely not the stock limiter plugin of Logic, can you tell what it is? Appreciate it:)
