SD3 Drum Replacement Completely Out of Time

    Now I’ve finally gotten the kick and snare samples to export and import (finally, after HOURS of trying, and I have zero idea why it worked). But now, after multiple attempts to replace a racktom and import it, the last two tom hits are inexplicably missing. I’ve tried this process half a dozen times now, and there is no earthly reason why these hits are not showing up.

    Honestly, this program is a disgrace. I’ve never dealt with anything like this in my entire life.

    To start, the tracker, and any drum replacement for that matter, is only as good as the audio that you are feeding it. I don’t see any indication of the type of audio and the quality that you are using.

    As far as time and hits, did you set the tempo markers for each bar as well as the threshold for each instrument?

    Nope. I realized it’s actually not missing the tom hits at the end. The tempos are just yet again all messed up and it’s playing completely out of sync with the song. I’ve not only set it up to follow the host tempo, but have even tried imported the midi map for this song. No matter what I do, nothing works. Same problem, over and over again.

    What an absolute nightmare.

    Again, are you setting the tempo markers within the Tracker? Tempo issues will result from not ensuring that your downbeats are aligned.

    Hi Jordan, I didn’t see your last comment. I didn’t manually set the tempos in tracker. I set SD3 to follow the host audio, and also imported the tempo map as a midi file on some passes of trying to get SD3 to work. And I can see the tempos changing as they are supposed to within tracker.

    It’s only after I bounce out the audio and re-import it that I can see it’s not synced up.

    The fact that it works some of the time and not other times seems to indicate that there’s something wrong with SD3. I can’t make heads or tails of this.

    After import of the tempo map, make sure you deactivate Follow Host in the S3 Transport or it will bounce only at the current cursor location from your DAW.

    What Scott said… don’t use follow host when exporting using either the tempo map or setting the tempo markers. Follow host in this case would be useful for real time bouncing into your DAW.
