Hi David
You can setup macros to do this, notice that there are 2 sliders for L/R; not a standard panner as we are familiar with
rather it’s a summing panner. With both controls to one side or another it means it sums the signals that were recorded.
Eg. – Snare has mics on left and right side. When doing rim shots the signal will be louder in the mic where you hit the rim.
This “stereo reverse mixer” has everything to do with listening position. throne side or audience side.
With MIDI from SD3 in your daw, and you are listening to your session, you are still getting the drummer’s listening point
(behind the kit), so when you print your stems…
you need to reverse the drum mixer so that you get the audience’s listening position in your final print of your song.Clear as MUD right !!!
And I’m only talking about one drum.
I have two snares set up in SD3.
This is where I learned the hard way. From pissed off client!

- OK so I went a little bit ahead of myself, first question I answered with the previous comments regarding panning.
- As to the second question, I will paste a picture of a link to a video which explains it very well. “setting up mic channels”
- As to the 3rd question; no there are no presets or kits with TWO of anything. You have to add an “x drum” and route that in your midi settings in SD3 and I would suggest setting up a mic channel for it in the mixer.
This video shows you how to set up the extra mic channels and then you can setup the macros
Please respond because I don’t like typing for nothing
