I use Sibelius and ProTools to create tracks and Cake Walk to play them on the gig. I am looking for a way to make my midi drum patterns sound "non midi". Is EZDrummer a good choice??

EZ Drummer is one of the most real sounding Midi kits I've heard. The sounds themselves are actual drum recordings and triggered by Midi files. They also have some tweaking ability that can be edited..... like velocity and it has a humanize feature that adds randomness. If you really want to get down to extensive editing the (Superior Drummer albeit more expensive) offers more but I've found for my projects EZ Drummer fits in rather well. And if you want to, you can also create your own Midi files to trigger the kits.

That's what it is built for! Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks. You *will* need to purchase a separate audio interface if your computer doesn't have say 1/4" and XLR audio inputs, but you can pick one up for a couple hundred bucks here on Amazon if need be.

Any soft with MIDI compare (cubase. logic. etc) Its mean you can use it not only with computer soft if you have MIDI connection and great desire to explore:)

It's easy to use if you've used other MIDI controllers with your DAW before. The biggest thing that you'll have to learn is about mapping the individual knobs, sliders, and buttons to your DAW if you're not using Ignite which comes with it. Also getting around the HyperControl can be tricky, but Google and YouTube are your friend for that situation.

You can use a midi controller as long as 1.its powered, 2 you intend to only input midi notes and use the pitch and mod wheels. as for going from one patch to another, its all got to be entered by hand because its analog. But thats part of what makes the sound so great. Limitations with the gear ya use open up creative doors.

It comes with its own software hercules dj pro...you can create a custom midi maps for other software like traktor, virtual dj etc. Also www.djtechtools.com may have a map already for vdj 8

I have used a roland e-kit, and a yamaha dd55 into garageband and a couple other drum programs on the ipad with very little problem. Had to adjust a midi note assignment here and there, but other than, it was pretty much plug and play for me.

I saw that there is garageband support with a plugin, check here: http://www.roland.com/support/article/?q=downloads&p=A-300PRO&id=44382538

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

I have not used previous versions of this software; however, IMO, Native Instruments provides some top of the line synths for producing electronic music. I am currently producing Hardstyle, and Komplete 9 provides Absynth, FM8, Battery (one of the best samplers I have used so far, because you have the option of loading several samples into the instrument to create quick and easy sequences that you can assign MIDI notes to in your DAW), and Massive etc etc. Well worth the money; however, do try and purchase the Ultimate Komplete 9 (I regret not doing this in the first place).

sorry for the late reply. no drum beats here. you can always go for a zoom or a korg portable multi effects that come with drum patterns, but the effects are not as good as line6 IMHO.

We run Traktor, but it's a midi controller, so any program that accepts midi. You just have to map it to your program.

Yes, it works with Logic Pro X, you can create Drums Using "Ultrabeat" to make custom drums, the MPK Mini is detected for all the instruments in Logic Pro X... If you want you can assign some functions to the knobs as volume, panning, etc.

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.

I use Sibelius, Synthesia and other musical software. Work perfectly unless you don't know how to set up. Each program require different set up. And I think that all digital pianos with midi/usb connection should be worked with all software.

We've been using "MAGIX Music Maker 2013". We got it cheap and it's works pretty well. Very easy software to learn. Depending on what you are doing with it though, it can get kind of glitchy to work with. We record several tracks together on a compilation, and we've been running into lag issues with it. As long as you can work around it, you should be fine. Just be aware that it IS a pretty big problem with this particular software. But you can't beat the price!
