PodianerI have made a video for setting up ezDrummer.. It is up in a few minutes.. 8)
ZynewavePodianer:
As I said in my email reply to you, this is excellent stuff! Thanks for your contributions.
I agree that video tutorials are a much more efficient way of explaining workflow than text tutorials. It also is a good marketing resource, as potential new users probably will find it easier and more entertaining to watch videos. Studying a text/image tutorial requires a lot more commitment from the reader.
I noticed you have placed the videos on a separate website. Is this owned by you? Alternatively you can upload all the files to the zynewave wiki, if you are not sure you can keep the files at your current website.

Thanks, I didn’t know how to do that 😳 so I used my own site… But I will find out! 😉
Piltdown ManThank you so much Podianer!
You’ve sorted out a few basic concepts for me and I’m hopeful that your guide to setting up ezDrummer will help me get Jamstix to behave the way I’d like.
Great stuff!

Thank you very much for your kind words! Nice reward for the work.. 🙂
I’ve updated the tutorials. They now have a splash screen. It is the same I did some time ago, so I know it was not a complete waste of time when I did it 😀
These 3 tutorials now cover apprx. 20 minutes of video..
PodianerThen we announce the video tutorials on KVR and watch all hell break loose! Laughing
Edit: Ouch, the word is out already! (runs for cover) Twisted Evil
Serendipity: Yes, although I was called a “fanboy” (for whatever that means for certain individuals) I wanted to update the thread over at KVR. And I think that there are many users, who do not always post something, but follow certain threads. It took only 1 hour and there have been more than 200 clicks in the “try Podium” thread. KVR has quite a marketing power. So have videos about a certain product.. So let’s hope, that in the near future Podium loses its reputation of being hard to learn.. 😉
Podianeradded new video showing how to setup a multitimbral sampler. I know that the video is lacking automation. This will come later. I think it is better to have more videos showing individual things, than having one video showing everything.
All the “small gimmicks” in Podium are shown during each video, such as the loop mode or certain shortcuts. So it is not necessary to create a specific video only to show how looping works..
What do you think about the last added video? Is this enough to get to grips with samplers in Podium?
NeoDavinciIt might not be strictly necessary to have a looping video, but it would have saved me some time a couple of weeks ago. I might also have been more likely to buy Podium if I had realized what loop recording actually means in Podium.
Of course, I did buy it anyway. 🙂

I might not even be able to do a video for loop recording, because this feature behaves rather unpredictably here.. So I never use it.. 😳

One of the items on my todo-list is to fix a bug with loop-recording. I’ve noticed that sometimes it skips creating a new track for a new loop. Is that what you noticed too?

I have not seen that video yet. I’ll give you some feedback once I have seen it. Great stuff Podianer. Your efforts will help many users. 😉
SerendipityAllright, I have a few comments, or questions rather, on the ezdrummer tutorial.
I may have had some light experience a while back with Podium and ezdrummer but let’s forget that and see me as a total newbie. 🙂
First you use all the output mappings but no input mapping even though there are 16 of them. Then you place the midi file on the first output track? When I first saw that I thought, huh? Isn’t that track supposed to be used if you bounce the outputs to separate tracks? And when we’re on the subjects of separate tracks, wouldn’t it have been more natural to bounce to separate tracks instead of a stereo track since the video is about a multi-output instrument? And what would have happened to that midi file then? Can you have midi and audio on the same track at the same time or am I totally confused?
Well now mr. teacher can you explain that? 😆

Well: 😛
If you have only one midi track, it is not necessary to put it on a seperate track. And putting it on the first audio track does not collide with bouncing, because the signal flows from “midi sequence to audio track to bounce track”. The MIDI CHANNEL mappings though are like sends. You can put them where you like. The midi notes on their tracks will be received by the corresponding sampler input channel.
I didn’t show how to bounce every single output, because this is the same with every track. The tutorials can not show every detail. You should see them all as “patch work” 🙂
But I will make another tutorial showing what you described. Bouncing of multiple outs.
PodianerI just uploaded a new video showing OFFLINE BOUNCING of ezDrummer’s multiple-outputs..
