Do you add on drums bus any compression using EZDrummer knowing that this is already compressed in some way?

[@phantasma669]

thank you man

[@danivalentine1280]

You know what's crazy? I always thought Ez Drummer sounded great out of the box for our home recording releases, but I always thought "Well you're SUPPOSED to mix everything" and didn't trust my ears, ended up with more complicated mixes than necessary. Thanks for this video man, you're awesome.

[@coreyroberts47]

Dude same, I’m like I’m mixing so I need to mix

[@JakeHerrick]

Yep!

[@NewSonicLight]

Great advice. What I love is that I'm NOT a heavy metal guy at all (in my 60s, more classic prog and melodic rock and soundtrack stuff, though I did have an early Black Sabbath LP in the early 70s), this common sense approach transcends music genre. One can learn from anyone who's good at what they do.

[@jonasweiss5817]

"Within your HEAVY production". Good specific description.

[@wellplayedmassacre]

Great vid as always! I love EZ Drummer. As all My old Drummer Friends live hour's away, & I live in an apartment. Using Ableton 10, I've been using Parallel Compression on a Return track from the Drum Buss & slapping the Purple Audio M77 from Brainworx. Along with using Tokyo Dawn Nova EQ on the actual Drum Buss. Using the LPF & HPF and just minor moves with & a "Light" Limiter at the end, to make it "Punch" in the over all mix. I've been a bit lazy & haven't "Printed" to Audio yet. Love the Metal Machine EZX as well. That & the Metal! EZX have been my "Go To" I've just recently started using the Progressive EZX, to flavor it up. Thanks for the great content, as always! 🎶🤘🎵

[@larryleger1658]

I use EZ-drummer every day for writing and even composing beats(other genres). I've picked up many of my favorite drummer's MIDI packs and most of them already sound great. My big issue is trying to work with 30 additional orchestra tracks and not letting the main instruments disappear. Thanks for all that you do bro!

[@patrickmotto2319]

EZ Drummer 2. The only thing I do is typically parallel compress (for "umph" on the shells), small EQ and reverb on the snare. I love the sounds overall. honestly, I think one of the best tracks I've done recently was a rock track where I didn't process them at all, just mixed

[@pedrodyck95]

My secret is, write it in EZ drummer, export it in individual tracks, use just the OH from EZ drummer but all rest put my own no process drum samples from my actual drum set and mix it like a normal drum set, works amazing.

[@-Mardos]

ive actually just done the opposite for my band, didnt record kick at all and the snare mic was almost unusable due to hat bleed.. had to replace both. kept OH and room mic. maybe next time i just close mic the shells and see which method sounds more natural. thanks for tip :)

[@boxculture]

I do that!

[@GOHpsycho2]

One thing I do besides a tiny EQ on EZ Drummer 2, is humanize a little, both with velocity and positioning of each hit, all by hand, because it makes the drums a lot more believable.. The thought process is that every drummer can't be as amazing as the perfect hit drums and timing that programmed drums do.. Also, I switch individual drums within the kits to give the kit more individuality. It really works when the drums don't sound like every programmed kit out there.. As always Bobby, another solid tutorial, thank you!

[@mattspence1337]

I think EZDrummer 2 has a humanise option in the settings, could've saved you a lot of time.

[@JustinLesamiz]

@@mattspence1337 If it worked well, you'd have a point. Humanizing by hand is pretty necessary for realism.

[@TriTones_Music]

Popular subject Bobby! I typically use Addictive Drums 2 and SSD5. Started with AD2. Then moved to SSD5. Now I switch back and forth or lately stacking them. I found they both have their strengths or weaknesses. I am forever searching for “that drum sound” though. Every mix I’ve done I’m never completely satisfied and just settle besides 1 song I think. Or if I am, I did so much along the way I forgot what all I did to get me there lol. This months song I’m releasing gave me pretty good results in a minimalist way. Not sure till it’s been a week or two of not hearing it then reevaluating it with fresh ears. I actually meant to submit it for your subscribers mix show. It’s just not very metal this time.

[@zeclomal2265]

The eternal search, man! I've been obsessed with drums for years, always working on how to improve my sound...and I can say that atm I'm quite satisfied with what I have achieved, but I'm sure I won't settle with what I got.

[@chrismm7659]

Ez drummer is amazing. My main source of inspiration. But I had a problem with the drums not fitting in correctly with the rest I was making. So I ended up 2 whole days tweaking the sound of the drumpack on top of a guitar sound to make it perfection. And am I glad I did that. The key things I did: the kick just didn't poke through enough. So I ended up clipping the kick. Sounds way better. Although it sounds less real when drums go super fast, but that might be editable. The snare I did a big eq boost and cut in the middle to make it way more aggresive. And I also put some stuff on the amb section I think of the mixxer by accident that I really liked. Guitarsolo's on vst's are difficult for me. I'm not a proffesional, but I am making a killer track right now. There is always something to learn in music🎸

[@captainconvulsion]

Literally started mixing my EZDrummer tracks today. You have saved me yet again!

[@300Spartan03]

I have to keep reminding myself to not over think mixing the programmed drums, it's already sounds good so don't fuck with it. Great video Bobby 🤘

[@Dcs-l3d]

I really appreciate this video because there are way too many other videos that show tracks getting over EQ’d and smashed to death.

[@EtherealDawnOfficial]

Good video! Learned alot! I think I made most of the mistakes that u talked about! 😅

[@jerryarmitage8904]

Out of everything I've learned about mixing in general over the years. Cutting frequencies instead of boosting everything was the biggest. When I 1st started, I thought boosting everything was how Mixers got a great sound. I found out real quick how wrong I was.

[@mattfly68]

Hi Bobby. I used to use ez drummer, then switched to superior. First wanted to mix all drums like real ones, then realized that is like ramming unlocked door; all is given to you on silver tray but slight tweaking. You have confirmed in this video that I was right, thank you. However I know that many professionals always want to mix stuff from scratch because they can hear their own sound in their heads and it's as though someone has done part of the work for you. I'm not such pro, so I am happy with effect of the way you showed. I like your videos about mixing soft amps and stuff because it's the only way for me, thank you for them, Bobby, great job.

[@Deconbrio]

Until I can get the $$ together for something like EZDrummer, I’m currently going back and forth between two completely free drums VSTs: Steven Slate’s SSD5.5 Free and IK Multimedia’s Modo Drum CS. Both have their own stock “studio” kits that aren’t nearly as processed as any of the metal kits out there for plugins like EZDrummer. I’d love to see how you would go about mixing the drums of a 100% free drum VST like SSD5.5.

[@didymuskvist]

I started off using Ezdrummer but then switched to Get Good Drums. I do slight EQing on the individual drum tracks just cutting certain frequencies. Really does the trick.

[@bigrockstudioph3608]

Just all the that I needed. Thanks for this

[@BalashToth]

I use EZDrummer 2 and Metal Machine pack with a snare sound from the Metal! pack. I noticed that you exported all the drum parts in mono. If you route the different drum mics into to different midi and vst instrument tracks those tracks are stereo by default. Did you pan them to the center within the EZDrummer mix section before exporting? Great tips 👍

[@ruddmedia]

bro i keep the drums togehter and its less work and sounds awesome and you can still add efx and eq to the whole kit at once and it sounds great! just sayin.

[@MahmoudNader]

Can never thank you enough for this ❤

[@ruddmedia]

Just want to add in ez drummer 3 I keep the grooves together and eq the whole kit and efx what have you and it sounds great, and it keeps my workflow down by a ton! It's like putting it on its own drum buss from the start when i record it to a instrument track in studio one 6.

[@jeremycastillo4759]

I noticed that with EZ Drummer right out of the box if you don't bring down MIDI Volume Control (far bottom right of the GUI) it will peak & sound distorted so i bring it down to -18dB. Did you mess around with the MIDI Volume Control at all for that mix?

[@theriffdjenerator2213]

Really basic but something i've not messed with bar a low and high cut. My snare always sounds a bit bright in the mix so i keep switching snares instead of eq'ing it. Thanks :)

[@davidscafidi]

cant you split the ezdrummer stereo track into individual instrument tracks?

[@slayabouts]

Is it the same for SD3 though? To my knowledge the Superior Drummer sounds are more raw and closer to an unprocessed sound

[@GOICOBA]

Thank you for the heads-up regarding the samples being pre-processed, I was going nuts with that stuff

[@tez665]

I prefer to use Ugirtone's drum programs since they have to be mixed and EQed more like real drums. They're raw samples and not premixed, so there's more room to shape how you want them to sound. Stuff like EZDrummer is definitely useful if you want something quick though.

[@Tronic21]

Superior Drummer 3 actually was actually an upgrade that i was surprised was worth it, I thought it was just going to have some more options, which is does, but the sounds and different channels and drums are actually better, I thought I was upgrading and got ready to be disappointed but I was very happy, just in case anyone was thinking about upgrading, oh and plus all your drums, midi, and extensions, and presets all still work, and just get automatically put in just saying

[@williamshaneblyth]

people have too many options these days so they think they have to do so much because of it. If you watched any of the Beatles recording sessions on netflix shows recently it makes you smile. Mics taped to mike stands 2 x 4 track tape machines kids playing in the room and their girl friends all there and then moving to the roof outside and recording that into an album. Its a lesson in less is often better . People watch this stuff and get a mind shift and focus off the massive amount of tools n options we have now. we drown in it.

[@FrightboxRecording]

I couldn't agree more!

[@ubaydillahbayu]

amazing mixing, I really like the way it's mixed, do you need a sound monitor that can help stabilize the instrument

[@kellc1347]

🤣🤣🤣 great vid and instruction! Yep this vid would have saved me about 2 or 3 yrs of ignorant amateur BS I was trying to do with EZ drummer. Love your content! Thank u!

[@Ironbrood4426]

Do you always use the original mix version of the drums from ezdrummer? Not all ez drummer presets have the same options for splitting out separately, sometime the the channels you can bounce out include things like ambience and compression or reverb. Do you make those audio tracks as well, or combine into a room file?

[@LoaiHaleem]

I agree with this. With exception for Superior drums .. as this also have dry raw drums without processing. In that case may need another direction how to process.

[@alxmrki]

Thanks a lot dude, I had this cuestion for a long time

[@leongrinberg8758]

I used bfd3 if I want raw drums Because these samples are great . I prefer to work with premixed drums Like panda sound or Steven Slate.. I need to try out ez drummer also Thank you for information.

[@altag1]

Great point with processing something that is already 'processed'... less is more! When you bounced the midi to audio, what was the initial input level audio?

[@altag1]

(I see for example the 'kick' ~ -3, and 'snare' ~ -18.5 but not sure if this is measuring input level...)

[@russiangoose7053]

I've been using free drum VSTs like MT power drumkit and now the free version of Slate drums. Thanks for going into more detail about midi drums because until I get a real kit they're all I've got haha

[@attymarkpiadventures]

Makes sense! That's secret revealed indeed! Thanks Bobby 😁👍

[@correametal]

Another excellent video Bobby! Thanks!!!

[@SilentScreamsStudios]

Sounds good. I have all of the EZD2 stuff but I like using SD3 because of the internal mixer. I can mix right within the built in mixer.

[@melissamorgenstern2030]

What about the original mix preset on ez drummer. Are those samples eq and compressed as well or raw samples? Thanks bobby. You rock 🤟

[@LunaRisingBand]

From Toontrack's web site: Original Mix gives you access to all mic channels that were used in the recording (rather than busses) and has NO PROCESSING. The Original Mix preset is useful for users who prefer to mix within their DAW

[@SoundForgeStudio]

How did you get the midi map to go away have have a sound wave for the drum tracks? I use reaper.. I have tried to figure that out and have had no success with it.

[@samsonlovesyou]

This video was sorely needed. Thank you for making it! I'm curious as to whether you would use Neutron on EZD? Bearing in mind it adds a saturation module and compression, too. I think it sounds good on bass, snare, and hi-hat, but I'm a bit of a newbie, so what I think sounds good might just be trashing the sound. Not sure if Neutron's algorithms are treating the sounds as they would live drums, which based on what you explained, wouldn't be ideal.

[@jordanstephens9894]

Hey Bobby, have you ever used ugritone drums? IE Kult drums, ODSM drums or the new Drums Against Humanity? would be interested in a review or how you would mix them, as I exclusively use ugritone drums for my productions. Have a good day, keep producing good content

[@sidripster506]

Thanks for these videos. I use superior 2.0. I'm off to my daw for a experimental session with drums!

[@ksmit]

Thanks for the vid. I've been trying to mix midi EZD and it's usually a mess. Time to render the individual tracks!!!

[@KinoR666]

Awesome video Bobby! Yesterday I made a song with „made for Metal“ Pack from EZ D🔥🤟

[@daemonsquid3414]

I understand the principle of "less is more", but in this case i really don't like have mellow and soft it sounds out of the box. To me it just doesn't sound good enough. doesn't punch through in the final mix when there's been no mixing done to the drums. Not saying that you need to process it to hell, but some extra work needs to be done to both get your own sound and for it to fit the mix as a whole. Just a personal preference at the end of the day.

[@jimgraczyk6991]

Could you do a video on how to make a dry sound for drums in EZ drummer and how to get a non ringy dampened sound to the snare? Thanks.

[@theaveragenick5554]

Thought you were flipping us off in the thumbnail at first glance. 🤣🤣

[@Chris-Horne]

Awesome video as always, Bobby. I must ask though, why does the ‘Snare Bottom’ track have 5 reverb sends?

[@kudus9235]

Very useful. One question: what about mixing ezdrummer kick with live bass. Sidechain compression must be abadoned?

[@CrushingAxes]

I know the video is about drums, but this bass sounds killer! I've been using Toontrack stuff on a regular basis since Drumkit From Hell, I've switched to the Superior Drummer 3 usually blending samples, nowadays I've been using the Death&Darkness pack, some very nice tones, I'm a fan of Tue Madsen and Mark Lewis, I like to tweak things my own way, but even the chance to see the "kind of approach" those guys usually make is awesome, and as usual they don't do much, it's all about some very soft eq moves and almost no comp at all. I like to use Modo Drums and GGD from time to time just to keep things interesting, but I'm so used to Toontrack is hard to change.

[@VincentVegardSvart]

In general, the original mix is already processed or less process with mix/comp by toontrack?

[@femali]

I currently use perfect drums. I have been enjoying it.

[@babalonsfinest6054]

What about an instance of Superior Drummer or SD Metal Foundry, where you load up the raw drums, but not one of the Presets? One band I used to be in, Utopia Denied, used the original EZDrummer, that is, not the new ones you guys have. I played bass in the band, and wrote 90% of the riffs The bass and guitar were all done on those old red PODs going DI. I remember when the singer, who also did the mixing and mastering (and also dead now) told me that he did no processing on the EZDrummer. I said really? And he said, this is all I do: He would run a cable out of his computer where EZdrummer was on some ancient version of Reaper. That cable was like the tiny cable, a 3.5 mm, as I recall, then went through a splitter into his ancient Roland mixer -- I don't even remember what model that Roland even was. If anyone wants to hear the tracks just look up Utopia Denied, songs: "Sinister Clown," "They Angry Master," and there was a 3rd song up, but for some reason it's not on the page, and the guy who put the songs up is dead, so we can't ask him. But yeah, those recordings were literally just the original EZDrummer, bass and guitar through a POD, and going into some Roland board. Also most REAL drums in recordings, even the most professional recordings ever, you will notice they sound very lacking in punch or velocity, so to speak, and that goes for kick, snare, and toms, because that's what a real human sounds like playing a real drum kit. The "more metal" you get, that is, the faster the drums are going, more complex and constant, and more drum pieces you get, then it is even harder to do. For example, if you got like 3 rack toms, 2 floor toms, a snare, kick, hats, ride, and 4+ cymbals and a crash, then it's way harder to play them all with the same velocity hits, and even harder to mix all that. Thats bleed in like 11 mics minimum, minus if you are putting a mic on hats and ride, snare bottom, or a room mic. If the snare or toms ring out then good luck trying to fix that. Or if you hit the kick drum and all the toms vibrate, good luck with that, or if the snare rattles when any tom or kick is hit, you got rattle going on nonstop that will muddy the mix up. Thats why for snare most people use an O-ring, Moongels, tape, or even detuning 1 lug, or 2 lugs, or even 3 lugs, and toms you can moongel them too, but I haven't had any success detuning lugs on them, any secret to that? I used to think, "If I just actually TUNE the snare or toms right, then that ring and resonation will go away." But after the first time I truly tuned my snare head bat and res to 311 Hz perfectly, and recorded, and heard this ppiiiiinnnnnggg piiiinnngggg, thats when I realized that even a tuned snare or tom will ring out, and it may ring out even worse -- but hey, at least the ringing is like 1 syncronized note, and not like 20 weird wobbly over toned of an untuned snare or toms. Some people even say to drop cotton balls in the floor tom, to reduce ringing, but I find it sounds so unnatural.. Supposedly there is a formula to tune the batter and resonant heads at intervals that will reduce their sympathetic resonation, and I've tried this, literally getting each lgu perfectly down the the exact hertz frequency... but it still rings out. Back in the "olden days" they actually removed the reso head from kick drums and toms and put mics inside them. That's what Hotel California is, or old Iron Maiden or old Metallica. I did a little bit of experimenting with this, but unfortunately at that time I didnt know how to tune each lug perfectly to a hertz frequency. Anyhow I would reccomend anyone who doesn't have a million dollars to play with to stay away from recording real drums. Oh and last thing I was gonna ask what velocity you usually program your MIDI drums in. Do you use 127 for all of them? Or do you actually use like 70 or 80 velocity? And I dont mean for a just a build up on snare.

[@jorrickthole6505]

I use Ugritone Drums. It has awesome sounds that are alot more raw. Not expensive at all, suoer easy to use and route. Recommended 100%

[@marshun9977]

Do you parallel compress with ezd3?

[@MarceloDurham]

Hey dude great! video I have a question though... how do you split every single instruments from EZ Drummer to different channels in your DAW because the only way I can do it is if I record soloing every single instrument and I require them one by one in different tracks but that makes some phase issues there is a way to designate the output of each channel in easy Drummer to different tracks in your session?

[@hybrydsanity5857]

how do you transfer the files ,with effects or totally dry ,or do you bus out from the plug in ,to separate tracks in the DAW ,I know both EZD2 soon to be 3 and SD3 have these options. your raw track namely the kick and snare sounded like they had some processing (not the reverb) ,thats why i ask how your doing it. less seems to be more hopefully.

[@DontalkJushoot]

Hey Bobby. I watched your Mix Fix videos on EQ'ing drums and I'm having an issue in Reaper trying to replicate your EQs. I even type in the exact numbers you have but the wave lengths look way different and complicated. They don't look simple like yours and don't sound that good. For example, when I put the first high pass band at 38Hz, the dB jumps over 6. Not sure why, and I can't fix it without changing the Hz. I'm not sure if Reaper stock EQ just computes differently, or if I'm simply missing something. SOS to anyone. Thanks

[@beastofmind895]

So are the Overheads and Room tracks just getting sent to the submix or default output 1 and 2? Also I noticed that you made them hard panned mono tracks as opposed to making the OH & Room tracks stereo, is this better?

[@zeclomal2265]

Hi man! Super interesting video! But I have a question: why should we export our drum tracks to our DAW? I mean, I send the different parts of my drums to different tracks in my DAW, no need to export it.

[@tgstk2]

[@Driven2Beats]

How do you take presets from a pack and then split it in your daw in 8 individual tracks and then convert it to audio. That seems to make a lot of sense instead of just seeing a midi

[@michaelrichardson8343]

I use Superior Drummer 3 with the various SDX suites ( Death & Darkness is probably my favorite for extreme stuff) I do NOT export to individual tracks in my DAW though. The mixer within SD3 is like it’s own separate DAW anyway. I use a a tiny bit of processing on my drum buss since SD3 has a ton of options.

[@JustinLesamiz]

Sure, but its internal plugins are pretty week compared to something like UA's 1176 plugin. There are huge advantages to mixing out to individual tracks.

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

I'm not recording Metal atm, just hard rock, and I'm using MT Power Drums. I routed them to individual tracks, and treated them as I would real drums. For the most part, they're sounding more realistic. However, when I exported my song with a limiter added to my usual soft compression on the master channel, the snare goes boing boing boing in some parts, too much realism! 😄

[@Bmercer321]

[@kle3erlima]

thanx dude!

[@infinitytones77]

Thanks, Bobby! I know you've posted a video about this before, but still curious if you also bounce out the individual reverb and compression audio tracks for the drum sound setting in EZDrummer you use, or if you still leave those out of your individual track bounces. I've seen other mixers do this, and I guess it comes down to individual taste. Meaning, if I did this and feel its helpful, then by all means. But I can also process additional reverb and compression after the fact.

[@SilentScreamsStudios]

Perfect drums are pretty killer as well, but there are many vsti's that are great

Superior Drummer suffers from being the opposite to EZdrummer. you need to add the compression and eqing to the raw drum samples to get them to sound like that raw sample you played.

Cannot be programmed with nuances as fine as EZD MM.. they think EZDMM sounded thin, because when they used it they were still an amateur and so since their mixes sound better now, they think its because ezd was bad. When in fact they were bad..lol EZD MM requires basically no eq at all. If you didn't even do what you did on this video, and simply printed the stems raw, with good programming and used compression and clipping the busses, you will still get a mix ready thumping sound in the end master. Enjoy
