All of the library parts need to be installed in the same location.

Thanks Scott.

So the next library after what I already have is the Part 2 room mics at around 46 GB… I’ve freed up some space on my main drive by moving other (non superior drummer) sample libraries over to my external so I can do it but it’s still a ton of space… is it a real noticeable difference??

It’s a tough strain to answer. It depends on the sound your project requires. Some projects may sound great with just room mics without the close mic sounds. Maybe not.

If possible, try installing the room mics and try them out. You can delete them if find you don’t want them.

Hey Scott, do you need to do something to enable the other mics once they are installed? I just downloaded and installed them and A/B’d against a groove I recorded and rendered from before I installed them (same preset, same groove) and I can’t tell a difference?

Make sure you have instruments activated in those channels. See the Mixer Properties section of the S3 manual.

I’m just going strictly by presets at the moment. Do none of the presets take advantage of the room mics? is it something you need to add to each preset?

also this seems to be about bleed? I thought that was a separate package?

Sorry for the confusion. I still see the same basic overhead mics i had before AMB ribbon/OH Dyn etc… I thought this package was “Room Mics” so i thought i would have some more to choose from or something? I’m obviously misunderstanding something.

Think i’m answering my own questions 🙂 just checked the faq looks like the package is:

Download 2: “Room Mics 1” (The rest of the Room mics: OH Cond, Amb Near, Amb Mid).

Just to confirm it’s really only 3 extra mics that you get in that package?
