How do I multitrack my drums from EZdrummer in Pro Tools
To keep this simple let us start with a new project with nothing in it:
- Make a MIDI track under “Track>New”.
- Click the plus sign next to ticks and make a stereo aux track, then click the plus sign and make 8 mono audio tracks.
- Insert EZdrummer on the stereo aux track. Then, select the groove you want to use and drag that clip to the MIDI track.
- In the mixer window set the output of the MIDI track to EZdrummer.
- Press play to make sure that the MIDI track is triggering EZdrummer.
- Go back into EZdrummer and click on the mixer. Assign the output below the faders to tracks 1-8 (there are 9 tracks here so use your discretion).
- In the mixer window set the output of the Aux track to Bus 1 and set the input of the first audio track to bus one.
- Now set the inputs on the rest of the audio tracks to the outputs from EZdrummer by going to the input section of each of these channels.
- Under ‘plugin’ select the EZdrummer outputs (EZ2.L, EZ3L etc) left or right is up to you.
- Back in the edit window, extend the MIDI track by as many bars as you need.
- To do this quickly turn on the grid option in the upper left corner, highlight the region on the MIDI track, and go to ‘region’ and select group.
- Now go to ‘edit’ and select ‘duplicate’ as may times as you want.
- Now record are all of the audio tracks and hit record and then play.

No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
