As Jack stated, printing your SD3 outputs to a DAW is a nice direct way to get multiple outputs into audio.
Additionally you can use the track > bounce option, SD3, which will either create files from each mixer in the SD3 mixer, or route them through however many output channels you have configured.

I have used both methods.

Hi there,

Trying to understand your work flow .  Why are you bouncing MIDI/instrument to audio one channel at a time? If you do them all at once, it should result in a cohesive set of drum tracks with properly related samples. Yes the round robin multilayered system can’t guarantee the same samples will be used with each output channel printed in isolation, i.e not generated at the same time. Hope I am understanding your question correctly.

It’s historically difficult to grok what the OP is doing and why. There are way simpler ways to do things that he does.

To the OP: the samples played are going to change no matter how you do things. If it didn’t you’d have the ‘machine-gun’ effect mentioned in another one of your threads here. That’s NOT what you want if you want realistic drums. As has been said before if that’s what you want you’re wasting time and money on SD3. SD3 is NOT a drum machine.

Because I don‘t know how to bounce multiple tracks at once. Always been doing one by one OR mixing inside the DAW preset. But as someone else will mix my songs, I have to export all tracks for him.

You’ve been told many times before on how to output multiple tracks at once from SD3 but apparently that hasn’t sunk into your grey matter. You don’t ‘bounce’ tracks but output them to audio tracks in your daw – all at one time and then mixing decisions are better/easier made by whomever gets your work next. Doing things one track at a time is a waste of time and effort.

Well here’s one way to change your outputs to multi-channel

Then create multiple inputs in your DAW the way you have created it for Outputs 1/2

He’s been told that many times before. Many times.

Drumjack, your negativity isn’t helpful at all. If you don’t have anything else to say, you don’t have to keep writing that I am too stupid or do not want to do what others recommend because it is not true.

Guys, I have been using multiout for two years! Superior Drummer is in multiout mode…and I have every out of SD connected to a track of my DAW. My DAW’s tracks are:

1) Vocals
2) Bass
etc.
4) Kick
5) Snare
6) Toms
7) Overheads
etc.

But I don’t know how to export the playback there to one wave file each. I guess I can google it how to do this with Cakewalk Sonar, but my main problem is that a popular drum and guitar preset creator helped me build and tweak my drum preset…and one of the outs is “Comp”…this comp out has sends from the kick, snare, toms and everything else…
The kick sends its signal to the comp out at -2.2db…the snare at 0, the toms at -2,2, hihat -4.3 etc.

My external mixer (the guy that will mix my songs) does not want a dedicated wave file with compressed sound of various kit pieces. Therefore, I want to mix the signal there to every kit piece. When exporting the kick, I have everything muted but the kick out and the comp out. When exporting the snare, I have everything muted but the snare out and comp out. etc. etc. … but this is only doable by exporting every track individually. I created drum presets for this with all required muted channels so I simply load a preset and do not have to bother about what to mute and what not.

Moreover, the crashes, splashes and chinas will be silent in the exported overheads as I want the mixer to have a single file with JUST these kit pieces…without bleed.

My only solutions are exporting track by track and ignoring the sample issue OR I do not use a comp out…but in this case I don’t know how to move the effect in the comp out to the kick, the snare, the toms etc.
Because these use sends…and there is a difference between adding e.g. reverb to a track directly or adding a send to a reverb bus.

Do you know what I mean? How can I get the effects in the comp out to the kick? And the snare? And the toms etc. WITHOUT changing the combined sound?

Here’s my SD mixer:

Thanks for the clarification. This is interesting to me, because, putting aside the sample discussion, by doing each track separately, you are changing the sound of the preset.

For example, with the OH and the kick and snare going through the same COMP channel when the kick or snare hits, you essentially duck  the ringing of the OH (i.e. cymbals) which in theory creates more space for the kick and snare, by printing each track separately you are in essence doing away with the interaction… Hope I am making sense.

Anyway here’s my solution as it were, I don’t know if you are on Windows or Mac, sometime in the future, if you have a question, it’s a great help if you indicate with the pull down list at the bottom what platform you are on….

I am on Mac so my answer will be Apple-ish, 🙂

First off, create a new preset, so your original remains intact.

With the snare set the send to an unused bus, (Renamed snare comp) when that bus pops up (on Mac) press Option and drag the 2 plug-ins from the Comp Bus  channel to the new bus, and route it’s output to a separate output channel. Repeat the same for the kick and toms. Now to completely get rid of the kick, snare and toms from the Comp Bus channel, select disable bleeds from all instruments on the OH Out Channel. (image attached, don’t worry mine is greyed out because I wanted to test this out before replying)

Actually you could disable bleeds on all channels if that is what you truly want.

Let me know if any of this is making sense….

I think doing this would be 1000000 times more straightforward than muting different pieces and bouncing each channel at a time.

Perfectly said. Why do things the hard way?
