EZdrummer in GARAGE BAND 09
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009We’ll start by creating a NEW Garage Band project, just to keep it simple.
Starting with a blank GB project, click on TRACK from the top menu area,
and from the dropdown, choose NEW TRACK.
Select “SOFTWARE INSTRUMENT” and click on “CREATE”. Below…
You will now have a new TRACK that automatically loads a Grand Piano. Below…
Next, on the right hand side of the screen, click on the “EDIT” tab. Below…
At the top of that window, you will see “Sound generator” and you
will see the word PIANO in a “bar”… Below…
Click on the word PIANO and a pop-up menu will appear… Below…
From this pop-up menu, choose EZdrummer from the list. Below…
EZdrummer will “load” but, you won’t “see” it until you click on
the new “Sound Generator” icon that replaces the “Piano Keys” icon. Below…
After clicking on the GENERIC Sound generator ICON, you will see EZdrummer… Below…
At this point, you will either see the window ABOVE OR you will see this… Below…
If you see the window above, you will need to AUTHORIZE EZdrummer.
For instructions on how to Authorize EZdrummer see this article…
Once you are Authorized or if you are already Authorized, you can start using EZ drummer…
Click on the “OPEN GROOVES” button IN EZdrummer. Below…
And then you will see this (below)… Click on each category until you find what you want and then
Drag and Drop the “groove” you want.
… And it will look like this (below) after a “Drag and drop”.
Finally, let’s change that PIANO ICON to a DRUMMER ICON!
CLOSE the EZdrummer window (you can always bring it back by clicking on the EDIT TAB and then clicking on the GENERIC SOUND GENERATOR icon).
And we will be back here (below).
Now click on the PIANO ICON here… Below…
And you will see this pop-up selection of ICONS… Below…
Just click on the ICON of your choice (DRUMSET) and your new ICON will appear in your track.
(then change the name)
That’s it!
