I was at Sweetwater's GearFest a few weeks ago and watched a demonstration of EZD2, but at the time I didn't know there was also SD2, thus I didn't know to ask questions about SD. My defense is that while I can sing, play guitar and a bit of bass and a bit of keys - cant play drums at all and again home ITB setup - so I feel like I have hundreds/maybe thousands of session drummer approaches that I can tap. Then to get a more "pristine" sound I select the Superior Drummer instrument to actually play/record them. MY approach - I am singer/songwriter coming into recording/mixing on the UAD platform recently so I indulged and I use EZDrummer 2 tap 2 find and songbuilder feature to come up with pattern and sound and then I take that midi file and drop into my DAW. Of course the level of engineering and mics and hardware and studio and kit that goes into the tracks make you think twice and more of a question of fit into your mix. Using UAD Plugins - yes like you suggest - its an instrument in your track with your midi file in channel and you can add UAD plugins like any other recording. Although Superior I understand has extensive midi mapping/x-drum if you want to go that way.

I do have a midi keyboard and I play the kit with keys and a nice visual of the kit just again to use "Tap 2 Find" to get the pro version of drum pattern. Midi - you mention your a midi novice and so am I - use no midi as the kits and midi loops are pre-recorded and you just add them to DAW like you had recorded drum tracks in studio. Like UAD plugins - find them very addictive and I have an embarrassing amount of expansion and midi and preset packs just like I have an embarrassing amount of UAD plugins given I am only a home ITB singer/songwriter.

Jazz) loops and for Superior Drummer - kind of like UAD - you can have known producers presets (yes you pay for them) Metal) drum libraries and midi files and just midi files for themed (e.g. But you can can buy expansion kits that have different sounding/themed (e.g. You can see all drum kits in Superior Drummer but you can only see EZDrummer kits in EZDrummer.Ĭore Program Vs Expansion Vs Midi Loops vs Presets - each EZDrummer2 and Superior come with their own kits and midi files. You can see all midi files from both EZDrummer or Superior while in either program.

You can mix and match kits against the loops/midi files.

vintage kit, New York Studio Kit, mallets etc) and then the midi files which are the patterns recorded by a professional drummer. Stand alone and DAW version when inserted as instrument in DAWĬan drag the desired midi loop right into your DAW track or complete song from Song Creator in EZ Drummer 2Įxplanatory Note - Kit vs Midi - sorry if already know but two concepts are the sound libraries for the kits themselves (e.g. As a point of reference - you have to Superior Drummer and any of the expansion packs shipped to you - on 4 or so discs - about 25GB vs 4GB on EZdrummer2 as point of reference.ĮZ Drummer 2 - more for songwriter - its a more recent release (and many are waiting for Superior Drummer 3 to match some of the new functionality of EZDrummer2) - most notable two new features - Tap 2 Find - just tap a beat and it suggests relevant loops with a relevance score and Songwriter where you can drop a desired loop and it will populate a match verse, chorus, intro etcīoth EZDrummer 2 and Superior Drummer include: Superior Drummer - more for sound engineer/producer higher quality sound libraries and more ability to manipulate individual drum kit channels. Can answer any pointed questions but high level pro's and con's would be: Superior Drummer is on sale, at a price a bit closer to the price of EZ Drummer-2, but there are more EZX modules for EZ Drummer-2.Īnybody have experience with either of these programs? What do you think. This would let me use different UAD plugs and/or settings on different drums in the kit. I am about to purchase either EZ Drummer-2 or Superior Drummer, and it looks as though the different parts of the kit can be recorded on different tracks.
