Toontrack EZ Drummer Virtual Drum Sampler:
Toontrack EZ Drummer is a multi-microphone drum sampler designed for musicians and
producers in need of a compact, affordable, easy to handle plug-in without
compromising sound quality or control. The visualized drums in the EZ Drummer
interface
combine auditioning of sounds and drumkit construction. The extensive drag and
drop midi-library (featuring 2000+ midifiles) enables users to create a great
drumtrack in just a few clicks. For more advanced handling, users can control
microphone bleeding and levels between drums using the internal mixer. The mixer
also allows stereo and multitrack routing into the host through one single
plug-in, and thanks to the second generation Toontrack Percussive Compression
(TPC), system requirements are kept to a minimum.
EZ Drummer - The Philosophy
Somebody once suggested that Toontrack make an LE
version of dfh SUPERIOR. A great suggestion. dfh SUPERIOR was and still is a
monster of a box, designed with the mad scientist music producer in mind. When
the time came around to actually realize the idea of a smaller drumsampler
Toontrack decided to take the concept one step further.
So, dfh EZ drummer is a dfh SUPERIOR LE and it's not. The experiences from
developing dfh SUPERIOR are all in there. Sounds recorded and produced with the
best in the business, microphone control and humanizing features. Toontrack also
decided to take user friendliness above and beyond.
EZ Drummer - Basic
Mode
In it's most basic mode of operation dfh EZD gets you within a great
drumtrack in just a few clicks. The microphone levels are all preset. Using the
built in midifeature you can compose a drumtrack from a choice of 2000+
midifiles by simply opening dfh EZ drummer, selecting the file of your choice
and dragging it into your host. TPC, Toontrack Percussive Compression cuts RAM
use and discspace required to a minimum.
EZ Drummer - The Mixer
The internal mixer allows dfh EZD to work in both stereo and multitrack mode
without the user having to step out of one version of the plug-in and into
another. It also gives control of levels between mics and ambience and overhead
microphone leakage. Bringing all this to the user is an interface that we think
speaks for itself.
