With EZD you've only got 1 ambient track, with Chocolate Audio's you've got 4 room mics and then the individual kit mics. The room mics are really the only thing that keeps me doing it this way. I've used EZD2 for a while now and write with it, once I'm done writing the drum track, I open up Chocolate Audio's Black Album drums, import the MIDI in that, then bounce it into individual audio files, so I can have a separate track in Logic for every drum/room mic. In the context of writing/recording/mixing a song, it's minimal work and if you really pay close attention, you can get some really realistic sounding drum tracks. With MIDI's I write on my own or have gotten somewhere else, it doesn't take very long to adjust the velocities to get them feeling 'right'. I have thousands of MIDI's saved on my hard drive and I can always tell when one isn't one of theirs, because every hit is at 128 already, anything I've gotten from ToonTrack has been a nice colorful display of varying velocities and they don't always sit directly on the grid. Cowbell slot renamed Xtra and is now used for various percussion instruments.They're own MIDI's are quite dynamic regarding the velocities, at least they have been in the past.Demo MIDI files from ADpaks and MIDI Paks.
