Hey, cool video. At 3:00 you can press CTRL+ALT then you can drag it to the bandmate tab directly. I have literally found out this 5 minutes ago and I'm spreading the knowledge :)
Try chaning Follow "All Notes" to "Tonal Notes", this made the kick lock better with the rhythm of some of my distorted guitar tracks, but you'll get the best results using a DI guitar with no effects applied at all.
What do you mean saying DI guitar can I just record straight in to ezdrummer 3 with out using a separate DAW program like pro tools or logic to upload my wav files ?
EZ Drummer doesn't record a guitar without a DAW. What's meant by using a DI signal is that the AI software has an easier time working with the "direct" signal that has no distortion or effects on it yet. That dry, wimpy guitar signal you get just plugged into your interface.
Turning the guitar volume down in playback would help us hear it a bit better. Shootie School did a great couple of videos on this he noticed little indents he also did some strange time signatures got quite in depth
Love what you've tried to do here, this is what I've been looking for, you can guarantee this will be sold as a "ez drummer 3 expansion pack" for metal, think I'll pull the trigger on this, save me precious time getting tracks down, cheers.
Thanks for the video, much appreciated - I’ve never used Ezdrummer but I’ve been looking for something like this…I’m looking forward to giving it a try!
I did try that later. As far as I understand, it's working off libraries, looking for the most similar groove and going from there. For this style of music, you would need AI to know that every certain type of guitar attack gets a bass drum or you'd need a crazy number of libraries with these type beats. I'm guessing that as they put more add-ons on and the list of libraries grows extensively, that this AI is going to get ever more nuanced.
Came to see if EZ Drummer 3 could djent, stayed to see if it could djent, instead I feel like I both wasted my time as I never figured out if it COULD djent, and as though I developed a great attraction to really thin masculine zip up hoodies.
I think the conclusion would be that yes, it can djent, but you have to make it djent - much in the same way that a strat can djent, but you have to make that djent too. Doesn't make it worthless of course, but it needs some human encouragement.

Do you see yourself replacing EZ drummer 2 completely with Ez drummer 3 ? I have 2 but I am looking to upgrade and Ez drummer 2 has always been so good to me, 3 looks promising with these new features and upgrades.
Yes because I'm always using their latest libraries and kits. If I don't, I would be having to go on what I have for 2 and never any of their new stuff. This would annoy me if the price was very high, but it's really reasonable for all that give you.
@@MusicWithMarky so would you recommend buying this for someone who wants to write songs, is this actually useful in your opinion? Certainly sounds it.
Absolutely! I use the heck out of EZDrummer 2 and will continue to do so with this product. There are a few decent competitors out there for it but I don't think anything really compares when it comes to ease of use and having libraries of beats ready to go in all different genres.
@@MusicWithMarky yeah I have ez drummer 2, and I use it alot but this band mate feature seems amazing, is that as good as it seems? I appreciate your time dude, subbed
So, for me, I actually like the process of going through the libraries and finding beats because it ends up leading me in some writing directions similar to as if I was working with a drummer who was making suggestions. Otherwise I get caught into the same rhythmic and accent patterns all the time. But if I was looking to come up with something real quick I would absolutely use the bandmate feature. I think for just about any genre of music it's going to work quite well. The specific use in this video I wanted to test because I knew it would be near impossible. You just have to hand write every base it to match every guitar head and that kind of music and it's the only kind of music that's like that.
I'm new to your channel but I hope you're joking with the djent crap. Hundreds of bands have made the heaviest, most demonic music in standard tuning or Eb.

Thanks for sharing!!!
Is this a Reaper key command? It would be awesome if it works on Logic
Hey, you just potentially saved people thousands of hours of time. Have a virtual beer my friend!
Man, I can't thank you enough. That made my day.
FUCKING. LEGEND.
i Found it better if use a clean guitar
I saw them saying that at Toontrack too. I'll have to try.

If you hold Ctrl+alt (on PC) you can drag a track directly into bandmate without finding the wav file.
Another viewer said so as well. I appreciate you guys!!

Sure thing!
Cool video!!! I pre-ordered this and will be downloading it in a few days... Should be a badass upgrade!!! 🤘
Enjoy!!

Happy to help!
Luv the video, and thanks for the DAW link.👍👍✌️😁
You bet!
Great video brother! This answered most of my questions! Thank you! Subscribed with the bell! Psyched! I'm on it!
Awesome! Welcome to my weird corner of the Internet. :)
Maybe should’ve used a DI?

you might want to try it without any FX on the guitar

I think I showed that it indeed cannot djent, no?

Well said!
As someone looking into this for grindcore, looks like I'm out of luck. Oh, well. Thanks for the video!
Happy to help!
why there is no audio sender integration blows me away
Not sure what you mean?

How could you use Version 2 and 3? Does the upgrade dont overwrite/eliminate ez 2 and its functions?
Correct the new version is an entirely separate program.
@@MusicWithMarky Awesome, i was afraid of loosing the old version. Now i can use both to my likings. Thx so much!
@mordomaniac Happy to help!
You can drag from your DAW
One viewers said with CTRL-ALT pressed that it works. You got it to work in Reaper without? Wasn't happening here.
can you export individual hit sounds?
You could do it by exporting the audio from a single track with the hit you want on it. Other than that method, I'm not sure.
But does it djent?
It's a style of music with a very specific kind of drumming.
Hi Mark! Does your Patreon include access to your personal SD3 presets?
I have not put those on there, but I certainly can. I respond to all requests from patrons. It would only take me an evening to upload them.
That would be awesome! Can you do a CZcams video where you showcase your favorites?
I'm not sure it makes a long enough video, but I could include it as part of one where I go over all my favorite plug in presets. Thanks for the idea!
@@mldscott23 Oh also, you might like this one that I did: czcams.com/video/ZDVCpyRrU-Y/video.html
Can't drag and drop EZD3 wavs in Reaper - same issue with EZBass in Reaper, but not with EZKeys. What gives??
Yeah, wish I knew!
@@MusicWithMarky I just took this to Reaper Forum lets see what they have to say.
me too i can't drag not in reaper and ableton too, but EZ BASS i can, if i save project before drag.
I wonder if it's something EZD can fix it if it's the DAW.
Oh cool! Let me know please.
That track rocks! 😯
Thanks!
🤙
I may have missed this in video but does this work with odd time signatures?
Yes definitely it does. Have all manner of different beats in the libraries for various different odd time signatures.

But can it Death metal.. that's what I want to know!

Yeah I can't "djent" to save my life, but I wanted to see if it could write that Meshuggah style beat. I'm old school metal.
Wow. Awful.
