When I'm writing a song, I know exactly what I want the drummer to play.
He may add his own flavor to it but basically it has to be what I am hearing in my head.
I use EZD2 to create my own parts, mostly tapping them out 4-8 bars at a time.
It is frustrating to get one single hit "off" and my only option is to try all over again.
If it's an off-time piece it just gets worse...
My request is the ability to "move" the hits (like a piano roll).
I've sat next to professional drummers on a DAW and while listening to their performance
they say, "I should have played a double hit there" so they add it. BOOM! Done!
ALL the needed pieces are there already in SD3 already.
Just add the one thing, not the complex mixing or really advanced stuff just the ability to move/add/delete midi notes.
Velocity adjustment would be nice (since again it already has been written) but not absolutely necessary..
Hard to believe we're begging for something they've already developed and they're telling us no...
