I’d really appreciate some advice here, and this is a long term issue I have had with Superior.
I need to be able to save multiple parts of a drum kit as a pre set, to recombine later into other kits as a “kit section”.
Such as Toms-Rides, Kick Snare etc.
What happens in the REAL world of auditioning drums for a song is this:
1) I like the toms from one kit, the snare from another, the kick from another, the cymbals from yet another.
2) I would like to COMBINE drum sections gotten from various kits, into a new kit.
I am re-learning SD3, but I know that there are lists of kicks, snare etc. And I can load a drum kit and get a 1 snare from another. That’s fine. But often, the toms for example, are routed through different compressors, EQs etc. And the tomes, or cymbals, are desired as a whole section of the drums.
What I want to do is be able to take a kit I like, and HIGHLIGHT the kit pieces I like, and be able to save those as a pre set. For later re combination.
So lets say I have some bad ass TOMs? I highlight the toms, right click, and save them as a pre set “Toms”. This saves any mixer reverb, compression etc. So that if I bring these toms into ANY other, for example, a kit where I love the kick and snare, I can load the “Toms” pre set into that kit, and they will sound exactly like they did from the kit I got them from!!
Now, maybe there are limits to this. For example, the system might prompt me whether or not I wish to change the master reverb in order to use the reverb the toms use etc.. I know there are limits to all of this. But How would you YOU go about this? I guess I could have more than one SD3 instance and use one SD3 for toms, another kit the rest of the kit, etc///, but what about my question? Even if a section of drums cant be saved with effect perfectly, is there a way to highlight certain drums in a kit and save only those drums as a pre set , to load into another kit. I am talking multiple drums. 3 or 4 toms, or all of the ride cymbals etc? Advice appreciated very much!
