One thing you might notice is that the faders are flat, set to -4.8dB, with no panning. Your mixer should now look like this, with different channel numbers under each sound. In EZdrummer, select one of the channels, scroll down and choose “Multichannel.” For those familiar with hardware setups, what we will be doing is replacing EZdrummer’s own sub-mixer and routing everything into Logic’s main mixer. One thing I like about EZdrummer is the way this interface makes it easy to see how the sample player is mixing the sounds. Now you need to go into the EZdrummer interface and choose the mixer. When you choose the sample player, you’ll see two options “Stereo” or “Multi Output (8xStereo).” Choose the later. You can apply this same idea to other sample players as well (later, I’ll follow this up with a workflow for using multiouput with Logic’s own Ultrabeat drum machine). Here’s a quick rundown of how I do this with Logic and Toontrack’s EZdrummer programme. That’s because you do the mixing in Logic, rather than letting the softsynth or sample player handle the mixing for you.Īnd, once you start mixing for each indivual sound, or instrument, you will have more creative control. If you have the processing power, I think it’s almost always better to use multi output. The number of output tracks will vary, depending on the product. Soft synths and sample players usually default to a stereo or mono signal, but you can set some of them up to feed Logic with a multi output. In particular there was interest in using multi output. Readers asked a number of questions in response to my recent post on using Logic Pro. So, you may want to also take a look at the more recent post Multi-Output With Logic Pro And EZdrummer2

NOTE: With the update to EZdrummer 2 and Logic X, things have changed a little sine I wrote this post.
