Routing Toontrack's EZDrummer 3 in Apple's Logic Pro

[@williamscolaro1159]

This is how all tutorial videos should be done. Great job!

[@ShootieSchool]

Thank you for saying!

[@NaweedQadirdotcom]

I have been searching for this routing in Logic for some time, and you, Sir, not only delivered it but made it so crystal clear that I could set up my custom routing exactly the way I wanted it in less than 30 minutes. Your lesson delivery is one of the best, and I hope Toontrack makes you their official specialist. I am a great fan of your channel.

[@ShootieSchool]

Thanks for taking the time to say!

[@Yahyazini]

Let me say: this is one of the best quality tutorials I've ever seen and I've seen hundreds if not thousands of tutorials online being a software engineer and all. Thank you for this great content. And cheers!

[@ShootieSchool]

Thanks for the ego boost! I appreciate you taking the time to say!

[@metalchopsshop]

As a bedroom producer, I feel you just saved me hours and hours of time! Much appreciated. 🤘🏻

[@ShootieSchool]

Great to hear!

[@jimi2tyms]

Dude! Thanks so much! Just got EZD3 and tracked a song, needed to figure this out… I wish I would have found this before tracking. This helped immensely!!!

[@ShootieSchool]

Great to hear!

[@stevesolon6710]

Dude, I have to ask you - where the hell have you been all my drumming life?!? Seriously (and short story) - I was an analogue drummer in L.A. for many years. After an unplanned hiatus, I'm back to playing (Roland TD27-KV2), so am new to all this digital stuff, including recording for folks on the internet. Thus , Logic and EZDrummer3 are new territories. Since I'm older, it's nice to have new things explained at 33rpm instead of 78. This is fantastic, and I'm indebted to you for your work. Yes, I'll subscribe. Yes, dinner's on me, and yes, you know my first-born's name (don't have kids, but you get the idea). Many many thanks. - - Steve

[@ShootieSchool]

Welcome Steve! Great to hear! I was out there from 99-14. Went to and taught at MI and played out.

[@RockShowAcademy]

Very well done tutorial - explained in an extremely clear, concise way and very well communicated so I (as the person who wanted to understand a concept that was a bit tricky to me at first) completely understood by the end of the video. Thanks!

[@ShootieSchool]

Great to hear! Thanks for saying.

[@alfasonicstudios]

I don't use EZ anymore (using SD3 for a while), but I watch your tutorials because there is always something to learn. Great stuff. Thanks

[@ShootieSchool]

Thanks for saying!

[@andrewhalatyn3934]

Thanks sir! I was hoping you'd put out one for Logic! Your vids are informative and incredibly helpful.

[@ShootieSchool]

Great to hear, Andrew. Thank you!

[@revampman]

You are excellent at what you do!You ROCK!

[@ShootieSchool]

I appreciate you saying!!

[@toddcollins6746]

Nice! Thank you! Much easier to route in Logic than I would have guessed.

[@ShootieSchool]

Glad it helped!

[@The_Apple_Fritter]

Good stuff here. I've been using Logic since November and loving it. Every time I watch one of your videos I pick up tips. Even in cases like this were based on title alone I didn't think I'd learn anything. You do valuable work.

[@ShootieSchool]

Yo!!! I hope you’ve been doing well! Been a bit. Thank you for saying!

[@robmandel3413]

I couldn’t ever figure out why it said 1/2, 3/4, etc. now it makes sense. Thanks !!

[@ShootieSchool]

Awesome!

[@adamdavies7502]

Hey Shaun, I'm using logic so this is perfect. Also I've binged watched your videos they have really helped improve the drum productions as I'm a guitarist with zero drum knowledge. Keep up the good work buddy 👍 👏

[@ShootieSchool]

Great to hear, thank you!

[@micklawrence4329]

A great help as always. Please keep them coming. Have you ever tried using logic drummer to create a beat then move it to EZ Drummer for some great drum sounds? Just curious how well EZ Drummer can replicate logic drummer.

[@ShootieSchool]

If you watch my live streams, I'm going to have a guest in the next month or so that will probably cover exactly that. The Logic Drummer is pretty cool... especially since it's included with Logic.

[@micklawrence4329]

Count me in. Thanks again.

[@anthonymaltese7509]

Subscribed! This was a great intro to the program. Thanks!

[@BleuMetalRecords]

Your explanation method is awesome, the clearest ! I have a question: Do you know why the "millenium toontrack metal" drum haven't any of these outputs on his elements. I mean, the snare for example have only one output, I cannot mix the bottom and the top one by one ?

[@ShootieSchool]

Unfortunately that's the way the EZ products work. Do keep this limitation in mind when selecting a preset.

[@luminoxx5150]

Thank you for finally putting this out!

[@ShootieSchool]

Oh yeah!

[@sammodog]

The tricky part in Logic compared to Pro Tools is printing the multi out channels if the midi is in the ezdrummer timeline. Dragging to the Logic timeline seems to screw up the mapping so can't use bounce in place multi out. Still searching for the most sensible way to print the individual channels.

[@ShiningHourPop]

Always good to get a reminder of how to do this. Thanks 😊

[@ShootieSchool]

Awesome!

[@Cottontowngal]

great video thanks for sharing. so many questions but for now just this. in Logic when I press the plus button to add the aux channels for muti output the aux track icons are the generic music note symbol not the track icon i chose in the first place. in your video all the aux channels appear with the drum icon. why?

[@fabiodias5527]

Hi Shawn, amazing content you got there. Thank you for sharing! I'm looking to route my EZDrummer 3 channels to GarageBand instead of Logic - would you by chance have video tutorial on this? I'm having trouble figuring out a way to have my drum set channels from EZDrummers split into individual tracks in Garageband... Can't really spend 250$ on Logic pro right now on this. Thank you for your help!

[@ShootieSchool]

Instead export audio stems from ez. menu>track>export audio. If my memory is right, you can’t route in GB.

[@fabiodias5527]

@@ShootieSchool Thank you for the response, Shawn. I''ve gone through a lot of your content and website, I believe I'll be hitting you up for some potential 1x1 zoom classes on a few things. Been wanting to improve my workflow and I believe you'd be more than capable to help me. Cheers!

[@jakesmithmusic592]

Awesome man!!! Thank you so much for all you do.

[@ShootieSchool]

You got it!

[@drefue]

Track stacks function in Logic makes things even easier. No need to reroute. Sum highlighted tracks with a track stack and you’ve got a bus you can process, collapse, whatever. No-brainer.

[@Christian-eq7uh]

how do I do that? I was wondering about that

[@alexmasimusic5692]

Hi! Quite helpful videos, thanks for making them! I was wondering if you knew how to sync up single audio tracks exported from ez drummer 3 to desktop and then dragged into individual tracks in Logic. I tried different methods and they end up getting out of sync with the rest of the recording after a couple minutes. The drums part starts after a minute or so and the exported audio tracks don't have the same amount of empty space required at the beginning of the tune...quite frustrating, THANK YOU!!!

[@ShootieSchool]

Are you exporting from EZD or Logic? Is your midi in EZD or Logic?

[@Rich-NH]

Nice! The one I was waiting for

[@ShootieSchool]

Sweet!

[@mandarello]

Great great tutorial, thank you!

[@ShootieSchool]

You got it!

[@otoemusic]

good one 🎉.. my question is how to add the drum track into daw? sorry im new

[@ShootieSchool]

You could drag the midi out of EZDrummer right into your DAW if you need. Or you could export the audio from EZDrummer and import it. Everyone does it differently.

[@stevesolon6710]

Hi Shawn (Sean?) Quick question: Say I create a drum track, and I go through all the adjustment motions you outline (thank you). If I like only certain elements of that track's kit, can I duplicate the track and pick another kit from EZD3 and make different adjustments to the elements of that kit that I prefer? Example: I like the cymbal selection of kit 2 better than kit 1, etc. Thought I'd better check before I detonate the Mac.😱 Mui appreciado for the extra help, mate.

[@ShootieSchool]

Yes, that’s how I do it. If midi is playing from ezdrummer, you might enable midi out in the settings. And then delete the midi from the second instance.

[@newguy6935]

Very, very helpful. Thank you. Already subscribed.

[@ShootieSchool]

Awesome!

[@cgraugaard]

Is it possible to bounce each track to it's own audio track, or do you have to print each and everyone?

[@ShootieSchool]

I'm not sure what the difference of bounce and print would be in this case. It would be the same result. I never do that anyway. I leave the midi in EZ. If you do as well, use EZD's Track menu and export the audio from there.

[@cgraugaard]

I usually drag the midi out. And print(record) each track separately when I need to export multitracks. A bit of a hassle. Wonder if there's a better way@@ShootieSchool

[@ShootieSchool]

I can't tell you the best workflow for logic. I assume you'd have to make audio tracks for each channel you want to print and bus EZD tracks over to them. I'm not sure what you gain from bringing midi to Logic, though I understand we all have our workflows, but it's a click of a button to export stems from EZ. Might be worth exporting your final drum midi from Logic, importing that back into EZ, just to export stems.

[@cgraugaard]

Makes sense. I guess I have to befriend the midi editor inside ezd then :)@@ShootieSchool

[@christinamichelle8790]

Awesome tutorial thank you!!

[@ShootieSchool]

You're very welcome!

[@08drumzs]

Shawn I am using ABELTON 12 LITE AND EZ DRUMMER 3, how do I get the 16 tracks? I am only getting 8 channels

[@ShootieSchool]

Did you watch my Ableton routing video? This video is for Logic?

[@joev4483]

😅 I ALWAYS think "there should be a check mark but there isn't " ...

[@ShootieSchool]

Yup!

[@jips123]

And make a template? Otherwise you need to do this every time. That would break my flow........
