Toontrack EZDrummer2 is a fantastic tool for home studio songwriters. With up to 32 outputs it’s quite flexible when it comes to mixing.

In this video I’ll show you the basic steps to setting up multichannel routing for EZDrummer 2, as well as the REAPER Track Template that I use which saves considerable time and effort.
Skip to 6:35 to see the Track Template in use.

At 4:50 I mention the Post-Rock EZX. See my review here

At 8:09 I mention the Track Manager. Learn more here

    Hi Jon

    This is a great video and has really helped me out with the routing in Reaper.

    One thing that I can’t get my head around though is that if I make the EZ Drummer track the folder track then all of the other channels go dead. What is the best way around this so I can keep all of the drums in a folder track situation in Reaper?

    Kind regards,

    Darren

      Hi Darren

      It can’t work like that. Folder tracks receive from the child tracks so can’t send to them. have to make a “Drums” Folder with the MIDI track and Audio tracks inside.

        No worries thanks for confirming Jon and thanks for the video it’s certainly simplified my template moving forward.

    Hi Jon,
    did you know that forum member “godprobe” made a lot of MIDI Note Maps for Toontrack drum libraries, including a Excel spreadsheet? Not necessarily up-to-date, but very useful though.

      I was looking at that this morning but didn’t see EZDrummer 2 in the list. Made my own from the documentation. Will do a video on how to do it, how to use them and all that.
