This is the type of thing that SO MANY channels skip over. I'm glad you covered this man! Thank you!
I've gotta pass this on to so many people!
Thank you, Anthony!!
My dude, you're covering everything I need to know. Cheers 🍻
One stop shop!
Again you made my day ! most specialy with the LOOPBACK subject . i've lost a week trying to figure out why i can't get the sound from my daw to vegas pro , tryed everything within my limited knowledge but never thought or heard of loopback ! You have just provided me the answer ! Thank's again
Great to hear, Jim!
Lifesaver! Thank you, Shawn.
Great to hear!
I will be looking into this loopback feature. Thanks!
I use it so much.
Super helpful video
Awesome!
Thank you sir. You explained the important parts that others miss and it's much appreciated. I've just started running a TD30 through a Macbook Pro M3 Max, using EZD3. I think trying an auduo interface will nail the remainibg latency, and I'll try a Focusrite 414 to start with. I've made a small donation to you sir. All the best in the New Year, from Cumbernauld in Central Scotland.
Thank you for that Dave. Best of luck… I’m a McPherson.
@@ShootieSchool Ah. Your descended from the lands of Badenoch then. Up near Kingussie I think. You should try and visit there, it's one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland.
this is really an excellent video man, you hit a LOT of topics that will help people.
i am running a relatively inexpensive focusrite scarlett 6i6, 2nd gen, but i bought a good mini tower pc that i use only for studio work.
i spend a ton on a universal audio la 610 mk2 channel strip because that was my weak link, it was a night and day difference for vocals and i have zero regrets...especially since i bought it when it as $1,400. and now they are 2 grand lol
everything you said was spot on information
That's a great interface!
Great info here!
Thank you, Paul!
im havin a hard time, i restarted my computer but everything still sucks lol
another great vid shootie
LOL
Great video, like always, Shawn! This probably really helpful for those who are considering getting into recording seriously, or those who might be wondering whether their computer or hardware is good enough for what they're trying to accomplish. My next big investment is better speakers. Yikes!
Thank you, Ron. Speakers are important. I've been trying out the Slate VSX headphones, they're a cool concept.
You are so so awesome
Spyder!
Great overview, and a reminder that I need to get a better Audio interface. I keep buying cheaper ones that just end up crapping out.
Thank you, Spokansas!
Very cool video, Shawn! I’ve suddenly been getting crackles and completely forgot about the buffer setting.
I’m sure other DAWs have it too, Reaper has a Performance Meter (on the View menu or ctrl-alt-p on Windows) panel to show you overall CPU, CPU by track, disk read/write, RAM usage. Very handy.
Unrelated-In EZ Drummer, you’ll get an Audio Device unavailable or can’t be found when you open the plugin if “Close audio device when stopped and application is inactive” is checked in the Audio section of Options (Reaper again; don’t know about other DAWs). It only happens when you first run the DAW and, honestly, it’s obvious in hindsight but it took me a few “WTH?” moments before I found it.
One more that’s a question-I have a Focusrite Scarlett as my audio interface. You can enable the hardware inputs, but enable doesn’t mean “make them work”, it’s actually to make the raw input audible. I’m sure there are applications for that, but I don’t use it so I keep them disabled. However, they will re-enable from time to time without me doing anything, including updating the software. Have you ever heard of that? I can’t find any forum info on it. I can tell it happened because I’ll start getting that “clean pick attack” sound mixed into a shred tone like when you play next to a hot mic. Haha
Reaper does have a lot of extra stuff, which is great if you know about it.
About the Scarlett. Do you use it's program outside of your DAW? Lot's of monitoring options, including loopback, can be configured there but nowhere else. On PC it's in your Task Tray, not sure what it's called to access it on Mac. Let me know. I bet you'll solve your issue there.
Thank you. Great to know.
Wondering if you could do something on fills and how to use them, as part of a video?
I'm not sure when, but I will. DO you mean incorporating EZD3 Midi fills, or creating them from scratch?
@@ShootieSchool incorporating them. Thanks.
@@colleenvarlow8764 I'll figure it out.
Very informative and very well explained. I am trying to record EZdrummer 3 both in standalone mode and through Cubase with a backing track. My question is: in standalone mode I can lower the buffer size inside EZdrummer but if I open the Asio4All panel there is another buffer size selected. Which one is the one that matters ?
Standalone will change with the EZ settings.
Why not use EZD inside of Cubase as a plugin instead?
@@ShootieSchool yes, I have used it within Cubase but because of my slow computer I thought I could play more lightly using the standalone
Thanks again Shawn. I use an Audient iD14 MKII interface, which has a loop back function. I need to learn more about it. I haven't been able to get audio through an external mic connected to my interface while in OBS. I only get audio from the built in mic in my laptop. Is that related to the loop back feature in some way? As always I love your content.
That should do it... audient.com/landing-pages/using-audio-loop-back-on-audient-id44-mkii-audio-interface/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAw8OeBhCeARIsAGxWtUwxsAmXN9T2zVPEIVHiNbG0XfidqMfXHXI4dZunR1FdQIB_ttXiCMkaAnmoEALw_wcB
Great video. Quick question. I’m running my edrums from a trigger to midi interface directly into my MacBook triggering EZD3. I’d like to get 4 outputs for live settings. (Ex. KICK, Snare, Toms, Cyms) direct to FOH so he would have control. Can you route these from EZD3 through an audio interface with 4 TRS outputs? Thanks!!
I've tried it a few times right out of EZ, I think the answer is no with stanbalone. Me personally, I'd multi-out to your DAW, and learn how to use different outputs per channel in your DAW. I've never done this, but the signal flow seems pretty obvious to me if you've ever routed anything beyond stereo out of your daw.
@@ShootieSchool That’s what I was thinking as well. I run Logic Pro on an M2 MacBook. I was hoping to avoid the DAW if possible to make it a more bullet proof scenario in a live setting. I’ll mess around with it and let you know what I come up with. Thanks!!
Best of luck!
Well, I have found the choice Audio/Midi Setup in the standalone session. I read that EZD is optimized to work at 44.1, do you confirm, Shawn? Then, if I understand well, everything has to be at 44.1 : the DAW, EZD and Logic, correct?
I think we chatted about this. EZ will adapt to whichever sample rate your DAW/system uses. I think it’s a non issue.
I have Ez bass but it has no volume even in Daw. Can you help me?
Which daw? And before you reply, is your daw and ezbass up to date?
