Naturally, you're still going to need a DAW for the remainder of your recording sessions so this may seem like faint praise, but consider this: not all DAWs have VST support, and those that do support virtual instrumentation tend to cost a pretty penny compared to less powerful multi-track options. EZDrummer 2 introduces a built-in sequencer of its own, and to make matters even sweeter, it gives users the option to export their newly created drum tracks as WAV or MIDI files, which single-handedly eliminates the need to open it as a plug-in. Opening the original version without a DAW gave users access to a deep library of MIDI grooves, but without a separate MIDI sequencer, they had nowhere to go. The first thing you'll notice about EZDrummer 2 is that it is completely and absolutely useful as a stand-alone program, and this is because of one amazing key feature: the software acts as a music creation system. Well, they were close enough, at the very least, and in my mind (at the time) not a single piece of drumming software was capable of doing what EZ Drummer did at such an affordable price point.ĮZ Drummer 2 works great as a stand-alone program Freedom From Your DAW Yes, it was true: my digital MIDI percussion sounded like actual drum tracks. I was totally hooked after figuring out how to use the software, and from that day onward my demo recordings never again suffered from overt fakeness. Then after one fateful day in the spring of 2007, we crossed paths on Musicians Friend, and I purchased EZDrummer purely on impulse. Before that wonderful virtual drum plug-in had come along into my home recording rig, my songs were plagued with the type of amateurish percussion one would expect from cheap MIDI drums: unsatisfying digital "pang," lifeless transitions, laughable breakdowns-you name it, they had it. Seriously, it was borderline unhealthy-but I had good reasons to pursue romantic endeavors such as this.
I was deeply in love with the original Toontrack EZDrummer.
