Logic Studio: Routing Muiltiple Outputs of Ezdrummer

[0aapo]

im running logic pro 9, and when i select ezdrummer as an instrument it only shows the stereo output, no multi channel output at all. Please help me!

[nentihaiudittu]

damn, i can't even find ezdrummer inside Logic Pro 9. I made sure they're both running in 32-bit mode and the Audio Units Manager says that EzDrummer is succesfully installed, but it doesn't show in my tracks. What am i doing wrong...

[iman211]

this really help a lot, but i have the same question as Benjiboi87 : "when I hit record and start playing a beat, everything is recorded on inst 1... help anyone ? it's pretty annoying"

[WiNKsound]

@AgapePRAISE Awesome! It's always the simple things! Glad to know your up and running!

[WiNKsound]

@AgapePRAISE Hi. When you open a new instance of EZdrummer on a channel make sure to choose the multi-out version of the plugin and not stereo or mono. This will ensure you have the multi-outs available. Let us know if this helps.

[Benjiboi87]

Thanks for the explanation... everything comes out on all the aux's, which is pretty cool... but the main issue is... how do you enable record on the aux tracks ?

when I hit record and start playing a beat, everything is recorded on inst 1... help anyone ? it's pretty annoying

@drmuzik260 Glad that worked for you... There's not much written about UTM in relation to multiple outputs... I just happened to stumble on it myself and had to share! :-)

[2128169]

Thank you for this...very clear and easy explanation ! I am using Logic Express 9 and it worked just the way you explained without any trouble...

[WiNKsound]

@2128169 Awesome. Glad to hear it worked out for you!

So my instrument tracks in logic dont have the plus or minus buttons also in ezdrummer I dont have the multi track output option why is this? help I wanna set up my drums :*(

[WiNKsound]

Hi @deftonesfan192

Sounds like you have the Express version of Logic. It's a bit limited in certain functions.

To access these parameters you need Logic Pro.

[deftonesfan192]

@WiNKsound I am using logic pro 9.0??? not the express versions what am I doing wrong?

[Benjiboi87]

@deftonesfan192

go to preferences>audio unit manager>click on EZdrummer>reset and rescan>done

try that ?

[henrygibsonmusic]

@crookedpinkies I had the same issue but read someplace about PREFERENCES > AUDIO and checking "Universal Track Mode." Worked for me.

[drmuzik260]

@henrygibsonmusic - thank you thank you! that was just the answer to my dilemma!

[crookedpinkies]

i'm not getting the multi-output option....just stereo and idk why. any help would be much appreciated

[WiNKsound]

Hi @crookedpinkies might be your using the Logic Express which sports a few less features than the full version.

[crookedpinkies]

@WiNKsound no it's the studio version. express comes in a different box. 

[JonesBonesMicrophone]

Thanks alot. Worked whit Addictive Drums also.

[evan198719871987]

THANK YOU! You wouldn't think it would be hard to find an answer to this simple question, but it was. That was until I found this video. Thank you for explaining this issue simply for us common folk :]

[kcmoviemkr]

Like your tutorial. Having a problem that you may have already answered somewhere in this string. After adding the plug-in...or when adding the plug-in, I only have a choice of Stereo. I don't have the option to add multi-channel. I can then go into the EZ Drummer mixer and choose multi-channel, but it's still not showing up in Logic. (No + or - button). Any ideas?

[WiNKsound]

Hi @kcmoviemkr

Are you using Logic Express?

[kcmoviemkr]

@WiNKsound - Yep...and I'm afraid I know what you're going to say. Only avaiable in Logic Studio?

[WiNKsound]

@kcmoviemkr Yup. Sorry bro : (

[Lesismore101]

@kcmoviemkr you can do this in cubase

[TheMichaelJoshua]

Dude, when I load aux channels in my mixer in logic, the only inputs it recognizes are stereo, EX. EZ Drummer 3-4, 5-6, etc., but my multi out form EZ Drummer can only be heard through it's primary channel, not the aux's. What am i doing wrong?

[daveleslie64]

THANK YOU WINK Sound!! you saved me hours of searching!!

[WiNKsound]

@daveleslie64

The most informative 4 minutes of my life! I've been going insane trying to figure this out. God sent you to me.

[jdsongwriter]

Great video! I have a question? I have Logic Pro but when I open EZdrummer in Logic I don't see midi output. I can only see stereo. Is there another way to layer the tracks to separate the drums? It appears this is a common issue. Thx JD

[bluetizz34]

@jdsongwriter go to preferences click on audio units manager, highlight ezdrummer and hit reset and rescan. then when thats done restart your computer

[majorocarroll]

I'm having a long term problem with the '+' button creating only one -mono- channel. I've followed all the advice here- everything set to multi-out, the latest version (Logic 9) and updates, running the AU manager-still the same problem. One thing-if I change the created mono aux channel to stereo, '+' will then allow me to create another mono channel,and so on. However, no audio is routed through any of the aux channels. Any help would be fantastically appreciated!

[MyOwnSongsAndCovers]

hey =)

I've got a problem.. Somehow my logic studio 9 doesn't find the plug in Ezdrummer..

How can I fix this??

Thanks!! =D

[WiNKsound]

Hello Myownsongsandcovers,

Try updating ezdrummer might need to update it with logic 9. Also check to see what folder your plug ins for logic are stored and make sure ezdrummer is there. Another thing you can try is going to your audio units window in logic and hit the update button. Sometimes if its a new plug-in logic wont recongize it right away so you'll need to let logic check for new audio untis(update). let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Talk to you soon,

Justin

[MyOwnSongsAndCovers]

Hey thank you sooooo much!! =)

It finally works!! =D

[gkopit]

is it possible to do it on Logic Xpress 8? Cause on the plugin output window, it only appears "stereo".

thank you,

[WiNKsound]

Hi gkopit, Logic Xpress is a limited version of the software and there are a features which aren't available. I'm not 100% sure but the mulit-out routing of instruments might be one of those limitation. I'm going to look further into it and let you know once I find more info. Hope this helps.
