Perhaps most useful though is EZdrummer 3’s expanded collection of bundled MIDI, which supersedes the previous offerings which were, it must be said, a little limited in their reach. Writers can bring in existing MIDI for surgery, or draw in data from scratch if they really want to. Watch how Russ Hughes uses Bandmate to find just the right part for an acoustic demo, before showing how just how well its parts will sit with your bass player too.ĮZdrummer 3 also brings a fully-fledged MIDI grid editor to the party. The innovative Bandmate feature lets the writer show EZdrummer 3 how the song goes by giving it audio or MIDI to listen to. Of the new features, its extra compositional features provide some welcome problem solvers to something that has always been the elephant in the room with drum VIs what to tell it to play? Finally, here is a drum VI that does what a real drummer does, and that is to come up with something. Rebooted for 2022, EZdrummer 3 is the long-anticipated release that brings more innovation and extra sounds to the company’s well-loved drummer. Toontrack’s EZdrummer is the ‘musician friendly’ line of drum VIs that has been providing the backbone to productions for more than a decade, with its second incarnation being released in 2014. Toontrack is a developer that has built up a formidable collection of tools that satisfies the needs of both, however it is their EZ line of instruments that best caters for people who need ease and realism. While some creators want to be able to go into the finest minutiae of their sounds, others need a plug and play immediacy that does not kill their creative flow, yet delivers the sounds their music deserves. Given the depth of sound and functionality offered by these instruments, the challenge for developers is to strike a balance between this power, and an experience for the creator that is as transparent and intuitive as possible. At the other end of the scale, these tools have the ability to afford songwriters and composers the finished backdrop to their creations, providing everything except the vocal (for now). In the last few years, developers have pushed the boundaries with what can be achieved within a VI, with an increasing number of orchestral sounds making it all the way to Hollywood soundtracks. Not only do they have affordable high quality gear to record and mix with, but also access to stunning virtual instruments that go far beyond having a passing resemblance to the thing they’re recreating. Songwriters and composers have arguably never had it so good in the studio. Do great sounding drums have to be complex? We get our hands on EZdrummer 3 to find out. Musicians and composers have never had a greater choice of tools to make tracks with emotion and realism.
