Do you have a pro-tools template for EZ drummer so that each drum goes out to it's own track? If so, could I have a copy please ?
No worries, I've just worked out how to do this. Simple really, just create Aux tracks for each of the drums/hats etc and then send the various drum hits to each of the aux tracks.
I have ProTools and want EZ Drummer.
My damn computer has Window XP Media Center and it's not compatible.
DAMN IT!  :'(

upgrade to XP PRO!  
I'd love to...but what would that do to all the stuff I have in my computer right now?

*Screw it, just ordered it.  ;D
I'll use it one day, one way or another.
The ads on YouTube kick ass!  :)
For $99, you can't beat it.
Like I already told you, Randy, Pro Tools works fine with XP Media Center.  I use it on my laptop.

Jon, the only EZ drummer I have requires me to set up a bunch of mics... ;)
don't you have a template saved for that?   ;D ;D
HAHAHHA  ;D

Actually, I would think he probably does seeing as he mic's his drumset he wouldn't want to setup the mixer console everytime, so he would make a template specifically for his set up  
It's not uncommon to have cardboard templates for rack EQ's.  You simply push all the sliders all the way up, put the cardboard template against the face of the EQ and then bring each slider down until it's touching the cardboard.  It's a great thing to use as a starting point live and I know of at least one band that has made one for each place they play out of (also good for when some drunk - a patron or maybe the drummer - accidentally bumps into it and alters the settings too).  ;)
The templates used to be done with early analogue synthesizer music.

The BBC threw out a load of these in some housecleaning event.

They trashed the kit settings from early  radiophonic workshop recordings including the original Dr Who music.

The woman who created that died recently.

ignorant fuckers :)
We're so fast at it now that we don't really use templates anymore.  We know the assignments of most drums right off the top, and then we do something different with rooms and overheads every time.  Getting drums going takes probably 10 minutes from Pro Tools launch to recording.  Of course, if we decide to do something wacky, it takes longer... we did a session a few weeks back with 2 separate pairs of overheads and a mono overhead, and just getting those 5 mics placed took 20 minutes.
Can't wait to try EZ Drummer! :)
