Install to multiple computers?

[Vindes]

I searched and didn’t find an answer to this question.

Most of my audio apps exist on 2 or 3 computers. I have two different “desktop” computers in my home running audio software in a home studio sort of environment, and a laptop that I use on if I’m playing live or just messing around while on vacation and such.

With Superior 3, can I register and install on multiple computers, or would I have to buy multiple copies for this?

SD3; Reaper; Roland TD25; Win10

One license allows for installation on 2 computers at the same time.

Does this mean that I can split the cost with my brother so we can have a copy each of Superior Drummer 3 and running it at the same time ?

No. The license is for a single user to use on 2 computers not 2 different users.

Thank YOU Scott !

The reason why I ask is if I run into problems, don’t like it or miss functions I would like in a program like SD3 there is no way I can get my money back since you don’t have either a demo or a money back guarantee !  Splitting the cost with my brother would make it a bit easier in that case economically.

I am used to work with Cubase drum editor but it would be nice if I could have all drum related tools in one VSTi like SD3.

I’ll think about it until my next paycheck !

 

Cheers !

There is always selling your license if find that S3 is not your cup of tea. Plenty of people on this forum or others that might buy it from you.

I’d loose money anyhow !

What is the reason for not having a Demo so people could try out the interface and see what you can do ?

Probably because there are plenty of videos showing every aspect of functionality as well as all of the sounds of S3. The features like Tap2Find, MIDI Browser, and the Song Track are the same as EZD2 and there is a Demo for EZD2. But I’m not totally sure why there isn’t.

Bought it !

Love it  !

Only thing I miss is a button that zoom in the loop in the grid editor in addition to the plus and minus buttons !

It’s a pretty common feature in most timeline based software and very handy !

I want to use SD3 on two computers. I know that I can but here is the catch. I’m using an Edrum kit for both studio and live gigs. Two different MacBook Pro. One late 2013 live and one 2019 for studio only. Since I downloaded everything on the 2019, I’m going to put the library’s 2 through 5 on an external hard drive and free up space on the 2019 Mac.  Can I share the library on the external drive with both? I will have the software and library 1, 41 GB I think on both computers.

My big question is when setting up the E drum kit pads, all the settings I will need to fine tune to get the kit triggering the way I want. Is there a way to save the setting so when I go from one computer to the other the kit triggers the same and also when I tweak drum kits, can they transfer from one computer to the other. Otherwise I will have to take screenshots and notes to go from one computer to the other.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

you can point the SD3 software on both MacBooks to the same Library location on the external hard drive. This is done in Settings > Libraries/Paths…

All User Presets can be found in the Finder by selecting (in each Preset typ Menu) ‘Manage in Finder’.
This works the same regardless of whether it’s an E-drum mapping preset, Kit/Mixer preset, Instrument preset, etc.

If you have presets you wish to transfer from one MacBook to the other, you find them this way on the first and find where to copy them to on the other.

BR,
John

Hi, I am looking at purchasing SD3 and several SDX expansions (with the idea of using them both for recording and Live), and read that I can install on up to 2 computers. My question is, as my band want to be able to record with SD3, then use 2x Laptops Live – one as a back-up Laptop for Live with a Roland TDK50 kit, would I need to buy multiple copies of SD3 or is there a way of transferring the install to both Laptops so we have a backup for Live use? Thanks, Jim.

If you need more than 2 installs simultaneously then you will need to purchase more than 1 copy of S3 and SDXs.
