hey man, is ez drummer free to download?

[vikingguitar]

@PRoMoE1144 I'm afraid not. You can find it on eBay for around $80 or so.

Is it possible to save the drum track into multiple WAV files? For example, if I record a 4 minute song, can I export it in many individual 4 minute WAV files containing the kick, hi hat, snare, etc? Bit of an odd request, I know, but it will help with what I'm trying to achieve.

@TheRockinPajamas Not an odd request at all - that's actually what I do. I put the drum FX on a parent track and create individual child tracks for the kick, snare, hat, etc. I write the whole drumline on the parent track, and then when I'm done, I glue all of the patterns together and copy/past it onto the child tracks. I then erase what I don't want so that the kick track only has kick, etc. Then mute all the other child tracks and render the parent track. Email if you need more info.
