Hello,

I started just some days ago with SD3, so there are for sure users that can recommend and know more resources than me, but I can tell you that the channel of Shootie School (forum user too) has plenty of helpful videos on how to program, how to use the grid, even how to build songs. He uses sometimes EZD3, sometimes SD3, but the info is almost the same. He has a members area too, if you want access to more detailed videos, what I did and am enjoying and learning a lot:

I found another good channel too, from Mike Luke. It hasn’t new videos since three years, as he stopped to publish, but there is good material there:

Have a good 2025!

Another vote for Shootie. Check out his YouTube channel as far as anything ToonTrack goes.

other than that, ask questions on the forum.

Well, that was fast! Thanks, all.

I just watched Shootie’s intro video. I’ve also watched just about everything I could find from Mike Luke, until he signed off.

My areas of interest just now are navigation and sound shaping through effects, both within SD3 and in my effects-rich DAW.

Shootie, I might hit you up if I can form some questions beyond the most basic. Many thanks!

Plenty of tutorials on mixing available. My faves are from Produce Like a Pro.

Yes, for sound shaping, use of fx, eq, compression, parallel channels, New York compression, parallel distortion, reverb, parallel reverb and so on it would be good to search for drum mixing tutorials. Aside from Produce Like a Pro I can recommend the channel Mixdown.online (Chris Selim). I find him very didactic and participate in a community where we make challenges or get critics of our mixes. Home Studio Corner (Joe Gilder) has at least four long series of “mix together”, where you can see him mixing a whole song in several chapters, including a lot of time dedicated to drums. Lanewood Studios has several videos with individual tricks or advices, too.

What is great of SD3 is the fact that one could use a lot of the general and specific drum mixing techniques using the mixer and the several available ambient channels. And if you need the power of some specific plugins in your DAW you could bounce the audio to it and do the mix there (what would be my preferred workflow, by the way).
