I have the same dilemma/temptation! I use Logic & have screwed-up my templates going back & forth. Frustrating! All I can tell you is that, from my personal experience, I can’t get the individual drum tracks sounding better with multi-out & UA plug-ins.

It’s vexing, though, because multi-out has been engineered so that you could do exactly that. I saw someone mix everything in SD3 but just put the snare out to a separate track. I tried that, too, & then the snare ended up sounding like an unnatural sample.

I’ve gone back to mixing the drums in SD3 using the simple stereo out, & then instantiating the UA Fairchild 670, in a general (light) sense, on the whole track in Logic.

If someone can offer a specific breakthrough with multi-out, I’d love to know, too. Great question!!

I tried multi out in SD2 and then used all of the plugs that a guy in Hardcore Metal Mixer tutorial used-the ones he used on a major release but my custom kit/preset I saved and have used on countless projects actually sounded better. But today I had a friend who teaches audio, performs and also was signed to Polygram show me some things and he really thinks multi-out is the way to go.

That is true for SD2 but not for SD3. SD3 can be automated in just about all conceivable way.
