V-Drums or Drumagog?

Does anyone have the workflow established to record V-Drums (TD-10) into Logic, changing sounds editing the midi (without going back to the V-Drums for output)? Drumagog seems to have a lot of sounds and I'm looking into that as well, but can't even figure out how to add a drumagog track. I know I'm asking a lot, just knowing where to get the training resources or more info would be helpful.

As mentioned, Drumagog is a drum replacement software.

If you hook up your V-Drums with a MIDI cable to your Mac, load up an instrument track, and load EZ-Drummer into that. Make sure that the instrument track is receiving its MIDI input from the MIDI cable from V-Drums, and you are set to go!

Full editing facilities as well as the great sounds from EZD.... 🙂

Thanks much, I was considering drumagog because I thought it also used MIDI input from Logic to trigger, I haven't figured how to do so if it actually does on the trial version.

The EZ-Drummer lead got me looking at Toontracks new software, Superior 2.0 looks very sweet as well, I'm thinking that's what I may end up doing, for the sounds as well as if I want to grow into all the mixing options. Thanks for the redirection!

Hi, I use a Roland TD20 to trigger BFD2 in logic and it's is the nuts! The std kits are good but I use the Platinum samples expansion packs, these are as good as it gets, well I think so. Logic & BFD2 were very 'moody' to say the least about 6 months ago but over the last few months all the bugs seemed to have been fixed and I can run BFD2 in high detail (250 levels of velocity) when recording Live in the studio with Logic also running Line6 gearbox plug-in x2 and basic effects on 2 vocals, all live with no 'noticeable' latency. I say noticeable as obviously there is some but nothing that effects your feel when playing and the guitarist cant notice it either so that’s saying something! So, I would highly recommend BFD2, there is a download demo on www.fxpansion.com The only downside is it’s not the cheapest option.

M-Audio do some good Midi to USB units, not to expensive either, get one of them then your off!
