does this software come with pre-recorded drum beats?

No it doesn't come with loops and beats, you would need to purchase that in another software package. This software is strictly for producing music and sound engineering. This is an excellent software package for that, but if you are looking for a software product with a ton of samples, search Magix.com

I have been recording for years but - I was the guy saying can you give me another track for this or that. Never touched the buttons and my friend has a vast system so have been intimidated to start on my own. Can you create a mix and bump 3+ tracks down to 1 line then have extra tracks open to add more?

Yes. People have used Aerodrums with EZ Drummer, Superior Drummer, BFD, SSD, Studio Drummer and others, using Logic, Pro Tools, Kontakt, Reaper and others as hosts. We provide presets for the popular drum samplers.

You will only be able to record a mix of your tracks if you are using the djuiced software. You will not be able see the mix in your music files (In computer not software)

Any midi controller can be used for laying out your drums with the use of a sampler and a daw. Hope this helps

Hi Larry, I had to stay away from that this unit I had to send it back due to fact it created havoc with my computer. what I use and have used it "Virtual DJ free" its a program you can download for free , make sure you get the free version from Google. Next I have the "Maqix audio cleaning lab" from Magix.com great software and well worth the money. I never got to use this ION item for it was a mess on my computer so I sent it back fast.hope this helped Randy

No it doesn't come with any of those things. Have to buy them separately. Still a pretty nice drum set.

I do not own this product but what I can tell is that e z drummer will need to be installed in a vst folder on a pc or laptop within a recording software such as cubase,protools,etc.the e z drummer set up is just that,ez !! just follow the directions that come with the disc and you should be fine.after insallation,you need to open the recording software and load ez drummer.this may vary from software to software but what you are looking for is the vst instruments panel.once you find it,click on "open grooves" and a selection of drum grooves will be displayed.you will see a bar on the interface that is like a play button.after you select a groove.press play and it should play.ez drummer grooves can be dragged and dropped into the recording lane of your software creating a recorded path that can be edited or added to once you get the basics of it,it really is quite fun.I don't know if the zoom r 24 comes with cubase or not but that is going to be the first step in using ez drummer.Good luck and remember to be creative!!!

If you are using the drum samples that come included on the USB drive that ships with the unit, the answer is NO. Those are static drum samples at certain bpm time signatures that can only be imported. If however you are using the onboard drum machine on the unit, the answer is YES. It behaves very similar to a standalone drum machine like the alesis sr16, in that you can control the time signature and bpm for each drum track you create. Keep in mind that the drum sounds are "just ok", mothing really spectacularly professional sounding. But they sound alright when you process with onboard eq, compression and effects and if nothing else its great for scratch padding and laying down ideas. Hope that helps

It comes with a set of instructions on how to make it work with several different types of software (fl studio, ableton live etc etc). All you really need is said software.

No it doesn't. I did purchase the one they recommended. I was too much of a novice I guess. I really had a difficult time figuring out how to operate it. It has so many settings and I couldn't get the drum beat I wanted out of it.

Yes, but the software may be fine or a problem. If you are looking to record anything but drums and samples on Maschine, you may be better off with Ableton Push, which gives you an entire recording suite to record vocals and other external instruments as well. Maschine seems to work best as a standalone instrument, which isn't all that helpful if you want to record entire songs.

Yes, of course you can. It has standard line-level stereo audio outputs that can be plugged into inputs on the portastudio. For best results use two mono tracks or one stereo track so that you retain the stereo image of the drum sounds. Also, not sure if you can do this with the Portastudio, but if you record to PC or Mac-based recording software, you can also record the MIDI data from the Drum kit to a MIDI track as you play, then you have great flexibility to work with the data to easily make corrections, change sounds, quantize the track, etc.

Yes, it comes with software for you to convert your vinyl records to a digital recording. Installation and use are both fairly easy. It also plays like a "regular" record player.

As far as I know this is only a midi trigger unit. I have this between my drum triggers and Logic Pro. So it triggers whatever sample kit I have set up there. It's a great unit tho - really tough :)

No, this unit comes with the Traktor software, which in my opinion is much better than Virtual DJ.

No idea what you mean by "drum patterns" ... you don't get any with this. HOWEVER, I've done hundreds of songs from start to finish and I love this unit. You may find that mixing down to 2-channel then finalizing it all with sound-editing software is even better than the mastering features the 2488 has, but its still a superior device. I just did a band demo now posted on the Internet back in October 2013 with it.
