    Hello graham how’s it going? Well i recently purchased logic pro studio and I’m having trouble getting sounds from reason into logic, what do i need to do? I wish i had a manual.

  3. Michael Ashford says:

    Fantastic! Clear, concise instruction, haven’t even bothered looking at the Battery 3 manual/documentation yet as I’ve learned so much from these tutorials. Many thanks Graham please also pass on my thanks to David.

    If I pay the $27 for the year membership do I get to watch the Logical Drummer as well as all the other videos you have to offer? Or is Logical Drummer separate from the membership?

    Thanks!

    HI Graham
    Do you have specific instructions on how to use rms stylus or ez drummer in multi mode with Logic pro 9? Im not seeming to be able to automate each track separately. When i change volume on midi ch1 all the volumes change for each following track. The tutorial on rmx is logic 7 and im not seeing how do it on Logic pro 9. Any help appreciated.!
    Thanks
    CF

    • I’m not sure about RMX. But I know that you can’t automate the EZDrummer mixer. You have to run it as multi-output and then you can probably automate it that way. i’ll test this for you tomorrow and get back to you.

    • You can automate EZ Drummer in multi-output mode. First choose the multi-output version of the instrument. Then, in the mixer, click the + sign on the channel strip (It’s on the right above the track name). You can have up to 8 stereo pairs. Then turn automation on to whatever mode you want to use. You’ll see new tracks pop up in the arrange window also so you can edit your automation.
