Hello all,
I am so frustrated with this that I’m thinking about buying another trigger program just to replace Superior. I’m using Logic X.
Whenever I use tracker to create triggers of my real drums, it works all up until the point that I decide to print the hits onto MIDI. The hits are perfectly in time except for the fact that they do not start at the time that I need them to.
Whenever a drummer begins to play, there is always an unspecified amount of time between when the recording starts and s/he lays down the first hit. My problem is that whenever I export the MIDI version of the track that the drummer is playing, the MIDI file cuts all of the excess space until the first MIDI hit.
I need the blank space at the start of the MIDI track so that the hits that the drummer is playing lines up with the triggers, otherwise they are just going to be hilariously out of time.
I’ve followed all the other threads posted about this topic, and have tried importing a tempo map, unchecking “Follow Host” before exporting the midi, and none of it helps. The tracker is perfectly in time with the track when I play it with the “follow host” button engaged, and even when I uncheck “follow host” and am just working with it inside superior drummer, it has the correct amount of space. But as soon as I try to realize that in my DAW by either dragging or exporting to midi, it cuts out all of the space on the beginning and I am out of time.
Hi. I lurk these questions just because I’ve run into so many of them myself.
SD3 is extremely unintuitive, imho.
Just as a stopgap… could you insert some BS hits up until the song starts?
Like just drag in some random grooves that play until the real drums start? (Maybe even edit them to just be a kick or something to make it easier to identify later.)
Then export and nuke those BS bits in your DAW?
I’m hoping someone chimes in with a better answer.
