Mixing EZDrummer 2 Part 3 – Trigger additional samples

Welcome back to the EZDrummer 2 mixing series. If you missed the previous part watch this first

In previous parts we’ve gotten the ball rolling on building a better drum mix from the raw sounds in EZ Drummer 2. We compressed and EQ’ed, added reverb and distortion. Now it’s time to really beef things up by triggering additional samples for the kick and snare.

First we’ll isolate the kick MIDI and Snare MIDI from the original MIDI file and onto their own tracks.

We’ll trigger additional samples from REAPER’s built-in sampler ReaSamplomatic 5000.

At the end we have 3 snares and 3 kicks playing at the same time for a more modern, powerful, textured tone.

For now, that’s where we’ll leave this series. Leave a comment with what you’d like to see if we continue the series.

Thanks for watching!
