ezdrummer and mixcraft

Post by vicarito »

I would like to know if you can use 2 different ezdrummer kits in the same song (project)(in 2 different tracks).
For example I would like to record all the drums in one track using the Americana EZX and then in another track add some other percussion instruments using the Hip-Hop EZX.
I would appreciate any answers.
Thank you very much.

Yes, you certainly can. Just put a second instance of EZDrummer on a separate virtual instrument track.

Love my EZD2! Just a reminder that it's a pretty heavy cpu user, it also takes a while to load libraries so that's another fyi.

Also, if you are using 32bit, it really doesn't like having two instances.

I have a similar situation - wanting to use a drum kit and then the Latin Percussion kit. I guess I should just use the 64bit version.

I ended up doing the drums first, and then rendering that track as an audio file. Then doing the percussion.


I use Mixcraft so infrequently I forget things like why I stuck with the 32bit version. There must be a reason I suspect I'll remember as soon as I start using the 64bit version. Plugins? Computer speed (mine is pretty old)? Memory?

Mixcraft 8 Pro (32bit) runs fine on a Toshiba Satellite C55-B laptop with a wimpy Celeron N2830 (dual core). Now using 64bit on a "less wimpy" Dell 660S/Dual Core Pentium/8GB RAM.
