[@malcolmrff]

That iceman is haut. Would love to hear a full version of these riffs

[@malcolmrff]

Dale Robertson Thanks!

[@ChipShankGuitar1]

Cool look at his process. I’m the exact opposite, in typically find a drum beat and then write to it. Been using EZDrummer 2 for several years now and it’s made the writing process much easier for me as well. Wes is amazing, as is that freaking guitar!

[@dapliff]

Always so cool music from Wes!!

[@bryanalilvguitars]

Man has tone in his damn fingers, it just fucking growls, his riffs literally made me bare my teeth.

[@ThomasFarrow]

thank you TOONTRACK!

[@nvmbrsdoom5]

Oh man, that new Death & Darkness SDX is killer, just sounds amazing! Getting that killer sound from Sonic Ranch is just genius, well done Toontrack. All the best to you Wes, cheers.

Let's spend a word for those two kicks playing at the same time :)

[@mcgarnacle21]

Haha, I didn't notice them until your comment, but damn, it's so awesome to hear both those kicks smashed together. Makes me wonder why real drummers don't do the same.

[@danielmconnolly7]

Very cool invisible drummer...👍

[@vip3011]

What preset on guitar?

[@kuringmundo]

is this a section of an alluvial song?

[@ameralameddine]

What song is this? The demo sounds phenomenal!

[@OfficialJagPaw]

Alright, I have a serious question and I hope someone can answer me. The process he is using is what I used to do with EZPlayer. I would drag and drop the midi from the vst into a track. The VST was basically in a slave mode. It didn't do anything on the track. It was just there to demo, drag, and drop with. Cool. I do the MIDI in the DAW. The midi editor in ezplayer was too much to learn... But since I got SD3, now EZPlayer seems like it is obsolete. All the midi stuff is now built into SD3 and honestly, it rocks. It's way better than editing midi in the DAW since it is all tailored to the note mapping that toontrack uses. The problems: 1. If I were to edit in my DAW: I can't do the drag and drop in Ableton. This guy is using Logic Pro X so is that the only difference? It's a big pain because my workflow becomes: export midi, then import midi. So I build the midi in the SD3 editor, and basically end up with a stale version after I make changes in the DAW editor. ...or... 2. I would be totally down to keep my midi within SD3 but there's a huge problem here as well: playback. If I go to view another track/VST to work on some other sound besides the drums, the SD3 becomes quiet. It does not playback the midi that is in the groove editor. To get it to play, I have to click the wrench and keep the SD3 VST UI present on the screen. What's up with that? Why won't it playback no matter what? Someone help! Note: Still on Ableton live version 9. Windows 10.

[@robertsemcho9952]

I was hoping to learn something. I just saw home click on a few tracks that had nothing to do with his riff then viola, it fit perfect..... I dont get it
