You could also zoom out (on the sequencer), highlight the entire drum mapping you laid out and join the entire thing into one big clip.but other than that, the notes are all different. Now you should be able to drag and drop or play without it cutting off at the spots where you used to have a gap. Have you tried closing those gaps/rests by joining your drum mapping? Try selecting the last section, selection the section after the gap/rest and use your options menu to join clips. When you say rests I'm guessing you mean you mapped out a verse/chorus then left a gap to transition back to a verse and then have another block of drum mapping? It sounds like you're mapping your drums within ezdrummer's sequencer, which I find extremely limiting. The portion I quoted has me thinking a certain way, which you can correct me if I'm wrong. I use ezDrummer 2 often so hopefully I can help you out. To drag and drop from EZDrummer while recording other instruments, I have to hit record there and then hit record in Reason, which is easy to forget to do.Ĭurrently I can create a new EZDrummer VST, and get it to output audio through Reason Essentials, but when I hit record in Reason Essentials and play notes in EZDrummer, no MIDI notes are recorded in Reason Essentials. When recording with other instruments, drum rests get broken up in the process of dragging and dropping into Reason and the whole track doesn't come through. Let me know if I'm missing part of your issue. Does that help? Are you able to record midi into reason and have reason play notes in the VST? That would be my recommendation if you have say someone playing guitar or keyboard and then someone else wanting to play drums along with them and record both parts at once. I know I'm missing some features in EZ by doing this. I actually did the crossgrade late summer and now mostly use superior 2.0 which doesn't have the whole separate sequencer within the programs, so that may explain my workflow. That's not my usual work flow, I usually skip the ezdrummer sequencer and just do record everything in directly reason. i guess then you'd have to do the drag into reason thing you are having to do. but still aren't in the reason sequencer. if you then play reason later, the notes captured in the ezdrummer sequencer are played. If I do that notes are recorded on the sequencer that's part of ezdrummer but not in reason. What I think you may be doing is opening the actual ezdrummer interface, and hitting record on the transport there. If I hit record on the reason transport and play midi notes they will be recorded into the reason sequencer and trigger drums in ezdrummer. So when I open a new session and then create an easy drummer vst in reason I am able to play EZdrummer using any midi input that's connected to reason. not sure in what ways essentials would be different. I have EZdrummer and reason 10 so can give you my experience using that. Is that correct? Not sure if that is possible, as that is not how I use Reason, but couldn't you record the midi into Reason (using EZD as a VST) instead of into EZD? If I understand correctly you want to record the audio from a guitarist at the same time as the MIDI from a drummer playing an electronic drum kit. I'd like to be able to import the whole track with the rest and everything after the rest. When I drag the whole MIDI track from EZDrummer into Reason, Reason imports everything up to the rest and then breaks the track. The intended workflow is to record a guitarist and drummer playing together at the same time, where the drummer rests for a few bars. Thanks for your reply! By record other instruments I mean simultaneously. What are you trying to achieve? What is your workflow / intended workflow? Not sure what you mean in regards to record other instruments. I think you might need to drop the MIDI into Reason or export / import it. In my understanding Reason cannot record MIDI from VST instruments at this time.
