Hey Mark!I don't think you'll be dissappointed. With all the different styles, and all the different loops, man you can put yourself a drum track together in a few minutes. Talk about mix & match. Variations for days. The easiest drum program I've encountered so far.I-468

One of my favorite features of EZD is the mixer window. Just changing the mix of the overhead and the room mics gives tons of options. Bringing in the compressed mono mic really does some cool things too. Try bringing down all the individual mics a bit and featuring the rooms and overheads for a fun "old school" listen.Enjoy!Mazz

Thanks for that Mazz! I have just the "oldies occasion" coming up on Sunday, so your timing is perfect!BTW gang, I know I've posted this instrumental to death here...but this was my first EZ drum track, so I'm always kinda proud. And here's a useful tip: I used about 80% of the loops as they are, and I modified 20% of them (custom fills etc in this song). When modding a section, change the colour, so you don't accidentally lose it, copy it where you don't want it later, or delete it by accident. That trick was learned the hard way, if you know what I mean! Here's my overposted tune featuring DFh:http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... tream=1P.S. On my software, when I change the velocity dial and then drag a file, it copies that velocity over. Check it out on your system too...if you mute the velocity for a part of your song, but then bring in another snippet two days later at a different velocity (medium being the default), you might not notice right away (it'll just feel a wee bit "off"). And ya, I learned that the hard way too. Yours in drummer heaven all....I-boy
