I found the easiest way was to enable midi out in sd3, select follow host, create a midi track with no output(to avoid a loop), play the track and record the midi on the new midi track as it comes out of sd3. Make sure you select sd3 as the input. I found this works better than messing with tempo tracks. After you have done this disable midi out and send the midi track to sd3.

Make sure the tempo map in the Tracker matches your imported audio. Also ensure that your audio has no silent space at the beginning. That is key to having your MIDI sync up. I just tested with a song I’m planning re-record with a drum stem audio track and the drums sync up to the audio no problem when I drag the MIDI from the tracker into Logic, and Superior Drummer’s timeline. No workarounds were necessary.

You don’t need to import a tempo map. You can hit “Analyze Tempo…” in the Tracker. It did a good job lining up the tempo to the imported audio. If your imported audio matches the tempo in your DAW, it shouldn’t be an issue. I usually do a bit of prep work in my DAW which includes analyzing the audio’s tempo and setting the DAW’s tempo map accordingly, if this is a new project. In my case, this was a new project and all I have to work with is a mixed audio track. I made the sure to locate the downbeat of the track. It doesn’t mean that everything starts at the beginning. It means that the downbeat is lined up to the audio.

Working in Logic I was also able to split the drums from the audio and import it into the Tracker. I then pressed the Analyze Tempo and saw that everything lined up tempo wise. From there, I re-created each kit piece (in my case by duplicating the track). Minor adjustments to the threshold and then exported the MIDI.

Trust me in that it took far longer to type this post than do the prep work.
