A daw will open any plugin in the state it was in with whatever settings it had as it was when last saved. It doesn’t care what you did in standalone. This is so you can have multiple daw sessions with whatever was in there when last worked on with each daw session being it’s own thing. This goes for any plugin and is not SD3 related as such.

As to how to solve getting your standalone workings in SD3 into your daw I can’t answer and would like to know myself.

How do you do when you work on SD3 project both in the daw and in SD3 stand alone app? I like to work on drum parts outside my daw, so I save the SD3 project and then open it in stan alone app sometimes. But then when I open SD3 in my daw those changes are not there, then I have to open the project again for the changes to follow in to the daw project. Are there any workarounds or how do you solv this and the workflow?

Hi there,

Yes, I know what you mean (I think I do anyway). What I do, in the DAW before closing the session; save the project within SD3, then close the session in your DAW.

Open SD3 standalone, open the project saved in the DAW. Do whatever, whatever. Save the project file within SD3 standalone.

Start the session up in your DAW, open SD3 and open the project file saved while in SD3 standalone, your changes should be there.

AFAIK that’s the only way to accomplish what you’re trying to do…. at least that’s how I do it.

Hope this helps…

Hi all,

This is a great question and yes, I’m curious as well because I run standalone and only capture the audio not the midi.

My first question to you regarding this topic is why do you run SD3 in your DAW and standalone. You are probably modifying your kit pieces in your standalone for sound, and using the midi capture of the DAW once you’re happy with the sound of your kit. Am I correct

In my setup, I run multiple interfaces into my main interface to capture, audio, no midi connection is established,, only the drum audio is captured. There is no record for midi on either the computer or SD3. Ideally I would like to capture the midi being generated in the standalone SD3 in my daw. or for instance, record the midi in SD and synchronize SD3 to the DAW somehow

Operating system: Windows 10
