bsd512 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Hi - I apologize if this is not the right place to ask this question, it doesn't seem quite like the right place, but seemed the best of the forum sections here. I currently use Logic Pro X and just do basic recording. I use the built-in drummer in Logic Pro X which is fine. It is tweakable and adjustable to a reasonable degree, but doesn't really give much control if you want to build your own drum track - you pick a drummer style, a drum kit, and it then generally has a handful or two of "beats" that you can choose. And then you can adjust the number of fills, complexity, and "complexity" of the beat. I think I'm out-growing it and looking for a replacement that is relatively easy to use - I don't want to necessary build every drum-line by hand. Having a tool with a number of pre-canned rhythms available would be great. And if I find one that best fits my song, but find that it needs some more adjustment that I'm able to do in Logic built-in, that'd be what I would be looking for. I don't really need to adjust each snare hit/decay/etc. But I'd need more variety than I can get from Logic's built-in with more ability to customize. Yet still pretty easy to use. I've googled around and there seem to be quite a few products. All of them say they are greatest, easiest to use, best sounding, best interface, fully everything. I don't have a lot of experience in this area, so I'd love to get a few first-hand recommendations from folks that actually use the products and are happy with. And I'm assuming I'll be able to use this in conjunction with Logic to create a drum track, similar to the built-in Logic Drummer. Thoughts? Recommendations? Any help or pushing me in the right direction would be much appreciated! Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflbrgst Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Have you looked at EZ Drummer? That's what I use. There are a lot of kits and various loops, almost infinite adjustability in them, and easy to use a MIDI editor with, too. And if you ever decide to move up to a VSTi with more capability, it can be upgraded to Superior Drummer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 +1 The current offering is EZ Drummer 2 and is very intuitive to use. They really do put the EZ in Drumming!! I also use Superior Drummer 2, it's a BEAST!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
