EZkeys 2, EZdrummer 3, and EZbass Live Stream. Build a song from scratch | June 3rd 2023 | Toontrack

[@dhoch]

I was on line for most of the almost 2 hours. Shawn was on a roll. Love to see his workflow. Always something to learn. I do have to say this was the best walkthrough of the three toontracks products I have seen here on KZbin. Hightly recommended.😀

[@ShootieSchool]

Thank you taking the time to say, D!

[@madm3466]

Great stuff, thank you! Very helpful to get further than just clicking and dragging pieces together. Would love to see more ezbass!

[@ShootieSchool]

Thank you, Mad! More on the works.

[@AhmedAntar]

good job man thx a lot 😘

[@ShootieSchool]

You got it!

[@cordcla]

Shawn, thank you for a great tutorial. Good job! as always!

[@ShootieSchool]

You got it, thank you!

[@ecoarena]

Nice work Shawn. I too couldn't watch the livestream, but enjoyed watching it later. Also, you threw in a couple of gems that enable us to improve our workflow (these alone will help save quite a bit of time) and I'm sure it's not just me that appreciated you taking the time to share. All the best.

[@ShootieSchool]

Thank you for taking the time to say!!

[@deejaytea694]

Love all your Toontrack videos Shawn. Got all the Toontrack EZ Everything and Superior Drummer 3. Love the new EZKeys 2. Would be nice if you would do a deticated video on the Suggested Chords. Such a powerful song writing tool. Thanks for all your EZToFollow videos.

[@ShootieSchool]

Thanks for saying! I will probably focus more on EZK in a few months.

[@denley321]

Last night ran across being able to record your ezkeys2 project into ezbass to come up with the bass line. Using the drop down at the bottom of ezbass and then it will ask you if you want to import midi into your DAW. I did it and it worked wonderfully.

[@ShootieSchool]

Yes, awesome. There’s a few methods, but sooner than later if you look in your Track menu, you can just open EZK2 projects in ezbass. It works with ezk1,not yet with EZK2. Keep an eye on the updates coming.

[@morsongs]

Hey I really appreciate all your help. I bought EZ Drum, Bass, Keys and Mix. You were right bro game changer. My one question is how to find strings on ezk? I don’t see anywhere to find them. This would help a lot on ballads right? Thanks, Jon

[@brentwheeler2087]

Can't recommend this highly enough. This is Shawn with some great general principles - fully demonstrated - about how to "go about the task" of using all three Toontrack plugins to build songs/make music - in his highly approachable way. This beats any dry geek speak manual - its a musician searching for what works in a practical way. It emphasises the process - the nuts and bolts of how to go about it. Complete with legendary Shootie Humour Plugin - on steroids. Carve hours off the learning curve.

[@ShootieSchool]

Carve hours off the learning curve... I love that. Thank you, Brent!!!

[@blacktminister415]

Very nice again, Shawn. Thank you!

[@ShootieSchool]

Thank you for saying!

[@Jefffernandes1]

He never stops talking!! Omg!! I heard the song just ones

[@ShiningHourPop]

That was great Shawn. When I get home I must investigate those marching beats. They’re pretty cool.

[@ShootieSchool]

After that stream I pulled out the Marching Filter for a student, he was instantly happy to use it during a breakdown bridge section.

[@wakinginfinity]

This was fun! Would love to see you lead some songwriting workshops with EZ products. I get a lot out of your external processing as you make decisions. Figuring out where to start can be the hardest part!

[@ShootieSchool]

Do keep swinging by the monthly streams, Rich. Be the first to shoot some questions, I'll give you some time.

[@GregDollar]

Hey bro! Very cool session - just wish you didn't have to go to work, lol.

[@ShootieSchool]

Thank you, Greg!

[@tendingtropic7778]

interesting workflow!! do you also sometimes use the bandmate feature after starting in ezkeys? then use bandmate in ezdrummer, and bandmate in ezbass?

[@ShootieSchool]

I use Bandmate sparingly but yes. It’s not in ezbass though

[@spokansas]

Another Toontrack Masterclass! With an additional bonus PSA on the dangers of bathtub acid! I hear ya... Been there. Learned a lot of great workflow improvements. I've wasted so much time copying chord blocks and "pasting at playblack head". Didn' t know i could just drag and drop. What a time and carpal tunnel saver!!

[@ShootieSchool]

Great to hear, Spokasas!!! The part about drag and drop... lol!

[@colleenvarlow8764]

I missed the live feed, am now watching it. Bit hard with different time zones.

[@ShootieSchool]

Australia, right? Hope you got something out of it!

[@colleenvarlow8764]

@@ShootieSchool sure did

[@omarnaimsawaya4297]

building a song from the scratch outside a band setting it's hard for me as a guitar player I usually start with a riff and wait for the bass player and drummer input

[@ShootieSchool]

lol!

[@gtamediaproductions1]

Will there ever be an EZ Guitar plugin??

[@JWood-z5p]

MORE COWBELL!!!

[@BillyBlaze7]

sorry i missed most of it, its been busy around my spot and will be on weekends til i get a major project completed over the summer....but i will try and make it as much as I can to chip in and hang out. Hang in there bro, you have the mindset to be successful, so its all just down to the patience and hard work....but im confident it will happen for you. Just throw some groupies my way when you hit da big time

[@ShootieSchool]

I get it Billy. Thank you so much for swinging and the support. It’s a big help. Cheers!

[@joshuadickey9552]

What happened???

[@egyptiansalsero]

Sir you're talking, drinking, caughing , everything but not explaining I'm sorry, I saw much better videos for you than this one, so please try to concentrate a bit otherwise I'll hate these products

[@ShootieSchool]

Thank you for your feedback. I do not work for Toontrack. I create free content for Shootie School. How I act when I am streaming live and unscripted should not reflect on Toontrack, but on me. If you don't like how I act when I am live, consider watching my regular videos instead. I have a ton of free scripted content. Thanks again!

[@egyptiansalsero]

@@ShootieSchool thanks for your very polite reply , if you're not working for them, do you have videos about modo drums and modo bass? Thanks again from Egypt

[@ShootieSchool]

@@egyptiansalsero I have only used the free version which I think is great. I have no videos on modo software though.

[@Cruzful]

Please lower you back music it makes it very hard to focus on what your saying.

[@teashea1]

You make excellent videos - but this was not one of them. Were you drunk or on acid? There was about fifteen minutes of useful content.

[@ShootieSchool]

Both!!

[@Moneyemusic_unlimited]

Once you get past talking so much, I get something out of your content 😁

[@ShootieSchool]

Try watching my scripted videos instead of my live streams.
