EZDrummer Multitrack Help

Post by mikew987 » Wed Jan 09, 2008 11:44 pm

Can someone explain how to configure have Ableton Live to handle EZDrummer as a multitrack instrument. I want a track for each of the EZDrummer outputs to be able to do things like add compression just to the kick drum. I'd also like to be able to fold in all the tracks (like you do with the drum rack tracks). Thanks in advance.

A quick search will show you... You need to select separate outs in EZ and they show up automatically in Live's router bar.

I've searched thoroughly but could not find a solution. I've been able to do this in other apps but not in Live. If you can link me to the solution I'd be greatful.

OK. Select Multitrack in EZD in the mixer pane.

Then drop EZD into a midi track in Live, add as many audio tracks as needed, then route each 'audio from' box from EZD midi channel.

Et voila.

I'm also running into an issue here. I'm doing those steps but the mixer for each tack only gives me pre/post fx and post mixer as choices. It doesn't add any EZ drummer tracks. So all I get is the kick drum on every channel. Is there something in Live 6 that I'm supposed to setup so it will look for those channels? Thanks.
