Hi,

Superior Drummer 3 indeed works with Ableton Live 10. It is not a VST3 plugin, so no worries.

BR,

Thanks Jon ,

I got it up and running!

A new question though…I am Using SD3 with a Roland TD17 via Abelton and will be routing the Kit separately out to the FOH Mixing Desk(in SD3 i have Kik on Output 1+2 Snr on Output 3+4 Toms Output 5+6 etc…going into Ableton, then out Ableton to the FOH via a MOTU) All is well with routing so far .

My problem is that I would really like to be able to adjust separate AMB mic amounts to each drum, for example the smaller toms dryer while the Floor tom significantly more wet sounding. As i see it I can only have the AMB mics on a stereo track which effects the whole kit globally.

Is there a way to creates some sort of Aux for the AMB mics so that i can dial in separate amounts per track?(more on the Snare less on the Kik etc…) I did play with the ‘Bleed’ amounts per track and heard no difference.

Also i am hoping to Automate reverb amounts on each drum too , will this be easily achieved?

Thanks!

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.1.4
Operating system: Windows 10

Hi,

the Bleed sliders in the AMB mic in the mixer are your friends 😉

You CAN go into ‘Route Instrument Microphones’ and create new channels for each instrument’s AMB bleed but it does feel unnecessary.

Automating can be done by connecting CC to a control or, perhaps more efficiently, connecting several Sends to a Macro and then assign a CC to the Macro.

A Macro offers more control over different ranges, slopes, etc.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your previous help. Things are going pretty smoothly and i am really enjoying SD3.

I am mildly confused as to how to organize things within SD3 though. If i make a stack sound on a particular drum(layering 2 snares for example) can i save just that drum into the library, when i tried to save just the snare using the ‘user preset’/’save as’ it seemed to save the whole kit.How can i just do one single drum?

also, if i want to have a custom ‘default mixer’ set up do recommend me using the top left ‘File’/’Save As’ or the “User preset’/’Save As’ to the right- i am not sure of the difference of these 2 ‘Saving’ methods?

Thanks and apologies if i’m a Layman,
Author
