Asa PalmerThe first time SD3 is opened in a Nuendo project, on the ‘File’ drop-down menu it states ‘Project “Untitled” ‘ in the Save section even though the SD3 project was saved under another name during a previous session. This is dangerous as saving it under ‘Untitled’ could overwrite an existing file called Untitled or perhaps even another file using the correct name, who knows?
After re-saving the file using a different name, SD3 does then remember the chosen file name – until the Nuendo project is closed. When it is re-opened and SD3 is launched it is back to ‘Untitled’ again.
This needs to be fixed and I also think it would useful if the SD3 project name was always displayed at the top of the SD3 window so that we can see at a glance that we are working with the correct SD3 project.

I’ll have a look at this. But notice that when you save a project in Nuendo, a separate Superior Drummer 3 project file isn’t saved automatically. The Superior Drummer 3 project is saved within the Nuendo save file.

Asa PalmerAfter saving the SD3 project in SD3 and then saving the Nuendo project, I would expect that the correct SD3 project would be opened the next time the same Nuendo project and SD3 plugin are opened. As it stands now, whenever the SD3 plugin is opened it defaults to a ‘Default’ project, so every time I have to go and select the correct project from the top of the SD3 ‘Open Recent’ list. This should not be necessary.

Afolabi LipedeJust following on from the previous OP, has this been fixed yet and what steps need to be taken so that when I save a project in Cubase including lots of work done on SD3.2.7 that the saved SD3 file opens inside the Cubase project instead of ‘Untitled’ for SD3? It is of course possible to go back and open from in the SD3 Project drop down but it can become confusing when trying to do work over an album-size project! It would be really nice to know that when I come back to a song that the correct SD3 file opens up with the Cubase Project. Would it be possible to streamline the saving process in SD3 so that it fits conveniently into a busy workflow please? Or does this already happen but every time an instance of SD3 is opened it just calls itself – Project Untitled? And then has to be renamed/saved as?
Many thanks,

Olof HermanssonThe SD3 data is saved in the Cubase project. You shouldn’t have to load/save projects inside SD3 except for exporting/importing between instances/hosts (or when using the standalone).

So I should not worry if the Project File is named ‘Untitled/Default’ when I open the Cubase project? Where is the SD3 data actually saved when the Cubase Project is saved?
It does seem to be the correct SD3 data file that I was working on that opens when I reopen the Cubase Project, but it is just a little alarming that the name I saved does not come up when I look in the SD3 Drums/Grooves/Mixer/Tracker window. I guess that saving the SD3 project file with a relevant project name to my chosen folder functions as a backup?
So my SD3 work remains safely tucked into the Cubase Project file when I save in Cubase? I think it is a bit disconcerting for SD3 newbies when we are used to the very tight way that Cubase file management works to have a more flexible approach to Project file management in SD3. Not a problem if this is the way it consistently works, and I don’t need to panic when I don’t see the file name that I saved in the SD3 window!
All best to you.
Olof HermanssonSo my SD3 work remains safely tucked into the Cubase Project file when I save in Cubase?
Exactly. A DAW/host like Cubase needs to preserve the state of each plug-in in its projects, so when it is about to save, it asks each plug-in for a chunk of data to save in the project. When the project is loaded, the plug-ins will be fed that same data, so that they can restore their states. The plug-ins don’t need to know how or where the data was stored.
Saving SD3 projects when SD3 is used inside a DAW is like an optional feature, which can be used for saving a backup or for exporting to other SD3 instances/projects/hosts. (…Though for backup, you could just as well backup the Cubase project although it would probably take more space.)

Mark KingYes Cubase definitely preserves the instrument state and it does say untitled. It’s always been like this. If you have made adjustments in SD3 and want to keep so you can use in other projects then you do need to save in SD3 as well.
