- Please enjoy this Toontrack EZdrummer 3 tutorial where I discuss multitrack drum recording and how to program drums with EZdrummer 3. So, how to do multi-track output in EZ Drummer 3? I’ll go over it in detail today.
With EZdrummer 3, how do you multitrack your drums? The role a piece of drum production software can play in a songwriting context is reinvented by EZdrummer 3, drum production software designed for quick and simple songwriting. It gives you full creative control over a vast array of simple-to-use features that enable you to construct finished drum tracks without ever leaving the program. Toontrack's EZdrummer 3 is most likely the virtual drummer with the greatest global appeal. Although its second iteration was introduced in 2014, it has continued to be a fan favorite ever since. How does EZdrummer 3 differ from EZdrummer 2 then, and is it still simple to use?
Using EZdrummer multitracks, you can separate a whole song into its constituent parts. Describe a multitrack. All of the various audio production components, such as the kick drum, snare, hats, toms, shaker, etc., are included in EZdrummer multitracks. While some might be mono, others might be stereo. They could have been sampled, programmed in a sequencer, or recorded directly from microphones or other sources.
Three essential components have served as the foundation for EZdrummer's success. First, it provides high-quality, sample-based drum sounds, primarily made up of different acoustic drums, however, expansion packs also include electronic sounds. Second, it offers the user a fantastic (and expandable) collection of genre-based MIDI grooves that can be simply organized into a song structure, even if you can clearly compose your own drum patterns using your host sequencer. Thirdly, it gives you the tools you need to swiftly adjust those preset grooves by adjusting their dynamics, intensity, and timing to match the structure of your song and to dial in just the right amount of "real drummer" for the performance.

Finding a kit in the Drums tab of EZdrummer 3 is really simple, and you can then pick up beats, rhythms, and fills in the Grooves tab. The song can then be put together in sections by dragging these into the constant Song Track at the bottom of the window. Parts may be used in their current state, altered using the new Grid Editor, or dragged into the DAW for workstation-based surgery.
The brand-new Bandmate feature is a great creative tool that simply listens and recommends parts if you don't really sure what the drums should be doing. Listening to individual portions or even entire mixes won't faze its bulletproof operation, and using its complexity controls is a breeze. Adding a produced, musically conscious drum part to your composition is quite easy with EZdrummer 3 in combination with a few mixer presets in top right.

Whoa, Uncle Dave that is awesome. Bless you!
Thank you kindly
Very helpful and useful, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
This is amazing, thank you!
You're very welcome!
This is a very helpful video! I'm pretty sure I'll upgrade now.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. You answered my question about turning a stereo file into mono in Easy Drummer 3. Thanks Dave, as always, I enjoy your videos.
Glad to help!
One cld also do this by mixdown of multiple tracks & then change the stereo icon on the track to mono & bounce. Even easier if just one stereo track. Just change to mono & bounce.@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy
Thank you for the great video!
My pleasure!
EZ Drummer 3 really works well with Studio One and this was a huge help. Thank you!
Happy to help!
Yes! Finally! Buying EZ Drummer 3 tonight now that I've seen this.
Congrats! Have fun with it
Very handy video.
Super helpful, didn’t know about that audio steams exporting function in ezd
Glad it was helpful
Great video
Thanks!
Helpful vid!
Thank you
Thank You mate, I understood with all die other videos how to easily root multi out, but that didn't gave me the option to use automation on single drum tracks. the export function made it possible!
You're very welcome!
Great help cheers 👍
Glad it helped
Good stuff, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
you are the man!
Thank you Juan!!
Thank you soo much!!
You're welcome!
thanks man!!
No problem!
Super helpful video..many thanks! :-)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
ThAnk you so very much!!
5-Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hey, Thanks!
Great Channel! If your taking request- It would be great to see a updated tutorial on drum replacement in SD3
Noted!
Good video. I've been getting separate audio files in session a differenent way...basically bouncing or transforming midi to audio. I think your method may be an easier work flow. Going to try thanks!
Thanks for the tip! There are several ways to do the same thing.
Thanks! You made my day! I attempted dragging Midi tracks directly. SO1 v6 offers a "transform to audio" from MIDI function but I kept getting incorrect drum kit pieces.
No idea, why. This is a question for the Presonus user forums.
I use Reaper but this video helped immensely. Thank you
You're welcome
In mixer view If you go to the top left corner in Ezdrummer you click in "mixer" and apply Multichannel outputs It goes automaticaly the routing and then you modify only the ones you want to change, just for a faster workflow ! Great job buddy ! Cheers !
Thanks for the info! I'll have to try that
Just watched this..I tried this and it works great....thanks !! I read a thread below and it's suggested to zero the faders before export. I would have to disagree after running a few exports.Please advise if this not be the case. Thanks
this comment is the most valuable thing here. Thanks!
Hold up.. excellent teaching brother, thanks..
Very welcome. Thanks for watching!
I bought EZ Drummer 3 just now, and thought "now how do you use this and get the drum stems on their own tracks?" and I found the PERFECT TUTORIAL! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Dave,one point to note is that all the individual presets for each kit in EZD3 have specific volume fader settings in the EZD3 mixer console,which are preserved when the individual pieces are exported to audio as you demonstrate,so for anyone like myself who doesn't like to have their channel faders higher than zero in S1,my workflow is quickly to note down the volume values as seen in EZD3 for each kit piece,zero the faders then export.Then use those values in S1 per channel to recreate the exact mix with the relative settings from EZD preserved.Maybe a bit fiddly but may work for some people's workflow style,and the peak levels are matched.
Great info, thank you!!
There is another way to separate your tracks to audio. Select the separate drum outputs in EZ3 and then select the midi file in your daw and just render in place and it will insert all the audio files into position.
Great tip! thank you
So does this mean you wouldn't need to export a folder on your desktop?
Thanks
Welcome
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I so desperately wanted to do this, but always got confused by other UA-cam videos I've watched.
This should free up some processor power for effects.
Besides somehow working with "Audio" feels a bit more "proper", if that makes any sense.😁
Thanks for watching!
Ty!
You're welcome
Thanks for doing this video for US Using EZDrummer 3. Using EZD3 to "Bounce the Drum Song" Instead of Using S1v6.2x (Bouncing & Merging) Merging will allow you to Change the part you want to change preserving the edit ability of the song until you commit (Bounce) It is a challenge to keep the names of the EZD songs you make unless you use a spreadsheet type file (OpenOffice-free) just another tool. Keep up this Great work Home Recording Made Easy,
Thank you so very much!!
I do this in this way: Menu>Song>Export Steams. first I select which outputs I want to export mono and on the right of the export window I choose mono and and tick the export files box within the project, so I can find them immediately in the screen. then later I export the outputs that I want to keep stereo and leave the option on Origin and so on. It works for me even in this way. It's a very flexible Daw
Thanks for the tip!
Great video ,ty ! I'll be back ! 👍
Great, see you soon!!
So far I've just switched the Mixer outputs to Multichannel (drop down list in the Mixer), then activate the various channels, and bounce to tracks.
That's another way to do it for sure
@Home Recording Made Easy Thank you for this helpful video. I'm using EZ Drummer 3 with Studio One 6. After programming the drum track in EZ Drummer for a song using Original Mix, then exporting as individual audio track stems which you've said you like to do, can you tell me what kind of processing you usually do on the individual tracks in Studio One? Just EQ and compression or is there more you typically do? Many thanks, Kevin.
It totally depends on the tracks. sometimes just EQ and compression, sometimes more or less than that. You may want to check out my beginner mixing courses where I cover basic mixing techniques. www.homerecordingmadeeasy.com/all-training-courses?
thanks man! 🤜🤛very useful video!
question in relation to rum EZD-3 to S1-6 using my e-drums, I suppose it should be similar - using e-drums as a MIDI device first to make a MIDI data inside EZD-3, then transport to S1-6 and then "play" with conversion to audio as you've shown... it means there is no way to run audio strait forward (?)
Yes, exactly
hi i was just wondering i used to programme midi tracks drum bass keys for us as a guitar duo playing to the tracks using a jv1080. Then i started to download tracks from custom backing tracks as it was easier as you can take out the guitar and vocals. Now im wondering can you import a full audio drum track bass snare everything into ez drummer and it will seperate them into midi so you dont have to go through the process of programming all the drum tracks then edit them as the tracks from custom use different kits an levels and i want all the levels the same by using kits in ez drummer. also is ez drummer 3 good enough for this are would superior drummer 3 be better? Thanks
EZ drummer is good enough for 99% of the people out there. The sounds are fantastic
Awesome video! Is there a way to easily export the individual drum parts (i.e. hi hats, kick, etc.) as MIDI to Studio One as layers? (just as you showed with audio, but keep the layers as midi?) thank you!
Not that I know of
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy did some digging and posted on Toontrack forums... got the answer! :) "Drag MIDI to the Studio One track you have EZDrummer inserted on. Right/Option click on the track > Instrument Parts > Explode Pitches to Tracks." works great! have agreat day!
The easiest way for me is to Export Song as Audio Files in ezdrummer, create your audio tracks (kick, snare top, snare bottom etc...) in Studio 1 then use the browser in Studio 1 and bring in the exported tracks. They will be in stereo. You can then change those tracks to mono by clicking on the stereo indicators (changes from a OO to a O) and then bounce the tracks in place and they will be mono.
Thanks for the tip!
Great video. Question, this example he brought in one drum loop from EZDrummer, which was then converted into tracks for each output. Let's say you have a 4-5 minute song with several different drum parts. Do you join those parts together in EZDrummer as one track or bounce them all together in the daw once you've mixed and added eq, compressions, etc. Just seems to me that you wouldn't want a billion drum tracks in your daw. Thanks in advance!
combine them in EZ drummer then take 1 single performance into your DAW
I write the drum parts in EZD3 Grid Editor note by note before transferring to the DAW. I sit with a guitar in front of EZD3 and write the parts.
Once in the DAW, I’ll do a drum premix then begin the initial test tracks for guitar, bass and vocals. This is a good time to get a feel for dynamics and tempo.
In a drum premix with other instruments and a scratch vocal, I can hear drum parts that need fixed and return to the EZD3 song file for editing.
This is just how I do it. I want the drum tracks to be fleshed out before committing to serious tracking.
So far it’s a good but time consuming workflow. Hope this helps someone.
Dave, I'm trying to record live acoustic drums utilizing an 18i20 running ezdrummer 3. I attempted to use Gate to activate the switch, but I can't seem to figure out how to actually get the drums to record. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
No idea, sorry
When you export the audio file, do you change the pan inside the EZD 3 mixer? So all the toms are panned at center and then, in the mixer of every DAW, I pan my toms in other way for example
Yes
I have expanded my edrums I’m using studio one to record my edrums with a track , I can’t gt the expanded pieces to play when I record but when I’m not recording, I hear it just fine
Thanks for watching!
Hi Dave have you tried saving this setup as a track preset?
I have not, but that is a good idea
When you export the stems from EZDrummer, do the stems include the processing from the mixer in EZDrummer? Thank you!
yes, unless you shut off the effects in EZ drummers mixer
Awesome! Thank you! 👍
I just dragged a drum pattern from EZ Drummer 3 into Studio One to create an event for the drums track in my song. I also exported the pattern from EZ Drummer as audio track files & dragged those into Studio One to create individual tracks and mixer channels. Why would the drums in the midi event in Studio One be so much louder than the audio tracks? I'm thinking perhaps the audio files exported from EZ Drummer didn't include FX like compression etc that apply to the midi. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
VST instruments are always louder right out of the box. All manufatures do this, not sure why. Simply turn down the VST instrument output.
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Many thanks for replying. Good to clear that up.
Is there a possibility to do that in the stand alone application of EZ Drummer without using a DAW for live application? Want to use it live on gigs and can‘t get it routed to different outputs of my interface… The interface outputs are enabled in the application…
I'll put it on the list but it wont be anytime soon. Maybe someone else has already done this on YT?
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Didn‘t find it yet. Only with DAWs - but I would prefer a way without using another application.
I have an alesis strike pro and the module has separate outputs that I can input to my cq18t mixer. I want to be able to use the ezd3 kits to output to my mixer and hear out my monitor or to foh. Can this be done without a daw?
I don't think so. You may want to check the EZ Drummer FB groups. There may be a way to do it
Ok. So I amusing GarageBand and have ezd3 added. How do I output from GB using end kits?
Need to find again, some time ago when I first installed ez drummer 2 trial. When I was going through many of the kits, drums, and other sections in the Library. Upon some miracle fluke I found a stick count in and saved that into a user section. I then installed the paid version. When I went back to find that stick count in again in the libraries, I could not find it again. Tried to communicate this with their techs and they told me it was never in there, I told them that was not true because I had that track saved from their library. Does anyone know if they have ever added a stick count-in in any upgrade or in EZ drummer 3?? It was really neat when I found it, but I have not been back into it for a few years now and somewhere in my files there should be that count-in file. Would like to find it again, with some help or input out there????
no idea. maybe someone else out there has the answer?
I have Studio One Prime (came with Audiobox GO) and i'm running my E-kit into EZ Drums 3 using a MIDI cable into USB. I want to play and have it record to Studio One but I can't get the plugin to work. Help please?
With out walking through your setup and seeing it for myself, there is no way I can trouble shoot this issue. I would need a lot more detail. Here are my 1 on1 coaching services if that interests you. www.homerecordingmadeeasy.com/services?
GREAT VID , AS USUAL... I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE KEPT ALL THE KICKS, SNARES ETC, ON THEIR OWN TRACKS . THE EQ FOR IN AND OUT KICKS ARE DIFF, SAME WITH THE SNRS, TOP
AND BOTOM.... WHEN SOMEONE IS LEARNING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, ITS BEST NOT TO MAKE ANY CHANGES THAT A FIRST TIMER HAS TO MAKE AJUSTMETS FOR. THANKS BRO, FOR ALL THE TIME YOU TAKE TO DO THIS... VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. ED
Next time! I have a video coming showing how to do just that!
That's , I want to know if it's the same in Pro Tools as well. ? As well as in Studio One.
No idea. I dont use Pro Tools, sorry
Just wondering if it's possible to do multitrack output with EZDrummer midi creating different tracks right in Studio One....
no, only with audio tracks not midi, not easily anyway
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy I found out that Studio One does not allow you to separate Midi information because it only handles Midi Type 0 information which assigns all tracks to the same channel. The only way to split drum parts in EZ Drummer is the way you showed by converting the midi to audio. Probably better in the long run anyway.
My EZdrummer 3 window doesn't have an x on the upper right corner so I can exit out of it, and I also can't move the window, which covers up pretty much all of the studio one window, this makes it extremely difficult to use, is their a way to remedy this.
No idea, I am sorry. I would reach out to Toontracks
Can you something similar with Steven Slate drums?
yes, Slate will do the same thing
I cannot get this to work at all in FL Studio 21 using EZD3. It shows that it is assigned to the different channels within the ezd window but simply doesn't do it in the mixing board in FL studio 21. Am I missing something? Please help!
I have never used FL studio so I cant help, sorry
As I can see, EZDrummer3 has up to 32 output channels. Now, what if I need more than those 32 outputs? I mean, if I wanted to add tha whole EZDrummer mixer instruments to my mixer DAWs mixer channels?
I think you're screwed at that point. 32 is the max
I use ezdrummer 3 to play my edrums but the laptop cant play any soundtrack from other source. Help.
No idea.
Also, why does the record button come on in EZ Drummer inadvertently when I'm not trying to record?
no idea.
no one is showing how to create the separate midi tracks to see on the main window ... it says your supposed to be abe to that and no has shown it atcually working .. i want to record the midi tracks and manipulate those as well , first . the tracks are not separating in SD3 as well , any help is apppreciated . or maybe it doesn't work that way anymore .. hmmm
it does not work in that way as far as I know
Does anyone know how to get hi hat barks in EZ drummer?
I don't sorry
Will this work in UA LUNA?
yes
Don’t understand WHY in the peanut they destroyed the routing. Now they are stereo outs, and it leaves you missing like 5-6 channels to route out if you wanna print separate. I’m starting to regret leaving v2. Heck even Addictive Drums 2 still allows you!
That is a question for Toontrax.
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Agreed. Just curious if I'm missing something, and someone here had a little nugget of wisdom. Some (believe I saw) split out the different kicks into (1) Kick- In (Panned Left) Kick-Out (Panned Right), then you have the 2 separate channels. My question; would it actually remained panned left/right if separated into mono like you just showed from the browser?
Only thing that pisses me off about EZD and SD is the no mono output. It's like why even have the multiple output option available if you're not going to let me send the kick and snare etc to a mono track to process as per normal with a mono single micd track?... Smh anyway the sound is far beyond so I still use them anyway but still lol
I am not sure why there is no mono output option either. Seems a little silly.
Superior Drummer 2 used to have that feature. You could press "bounce tracks" or something like that and you ended up with around 30 mono tracks of absolutely each microphone used in the drum set you had chosen. It was like mixing a real drum from scratch
It’s good to know SD doesn’t have mono tracks. I was thinking of upgrading from EZD3. Other than stereo pairs for overheads, mid-side or some other two mic variation, mono tracks and drums only make sense.
Combining hi-hat and ride on the same stereo track output is one way to reduce track count. Toms are another one.
It utterly angers me they ditched the mono option, and it’s only stereo. I’d be ok with that, but they don’t give you enough outs. I want EACH fader inside EZDrummer inside of the DAW. AD2 you still can. EZDrummer 2 allowed it. I have NO idea what they were thinking. Thought about exporting MIDI (just started using PreSonus) and use the separate into new tracks by pitch. Yes it would give you like 4-6 channels for the upper and lower snare depending on rim, middle, etc, but if you have MIDI data you can REALLLLY edit the sounds.
Email toontrax, let them know. Maybe the mono option will come back
Came here to figure out how to export my drums track as a midi. Was disappointed. Apparently, it can only be done with pre-rendered "groove" beats. This daw is a joke.
Not sure why you thought the video was about exporting as midi. The title does not suggest that, does it? btw - you can export any audio as midi in Studio One. Its called "transform". The DAW is not your issue, its the user that needs to learn how to use its features.
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Hey, thanks for responding. Firstly, I typed into google "export as midi" and your video popped up. Blame google, homie. Secondly, I would love to learn its features, but there is not a single correct tutorial on the internet that actually works as far as exporting successfully as midi. Plenty of tutorials, but none of them work. Thirdly, I don't need to "transform" them because they are drums that I programmed within the daw -- they are already midi. When I merge all the measures and try to export it by right-clicking, I technically can export it as a midi, but the DAW exports it as piano noises, even if it was drums. There is absolutely no help online, including on their website, for how to do or fix any of this. I had to figure it out on my own, and you caught me after 4 hours of getting nowhere.
Thanks!
Thank you so very much!!
