Superior Drummer 3 Help

  Hi guys

  So SD sounds absolutely amazing but I find that if I load ANY preset kit then draw in a beat on the MIDI grid and press play without altering anything (all drums at default values) I find that the cymbals always need at least 9-12db of reduction each (hi-hats especially, sometimes up to 13db) to make them sit in the mix. This is with all genres I record – rock, metal and some light pop stuff.

  Is this the case with everyone else? If I leave them default then the mix is basically a cymbal wash with every other instrument being completely drowned out.

  Just wondering if I’m doing something wrong? It’s obvious I’d have to tweak anyway but I never expected it to be this drastic!

  Thanks in advance
