CANNOT FIGURE THIS PROGRAM OUT

[Onewitnessus]

I’ve been playing with Superior Drummer 3 all day.  Literally and have succeeded in doing nothing.  I’ve watched the videos, can’t read the options they are clicking.  (I’m an older person).  I’ve tried reading the manual, they show pictures of menus but not how to get to those menus.  Some of it is like reading Greek to me.

There doesn’t appear to be any step by step guide for dummies like me.

I think it’s time to start looking for a buyer it’s obvious I can’t use this thing.

What do you want to achieve with SD3? Are you using it with an electronic drum set? Or are you using it in another way, e.g. with computer recording software (DAW)? Please be more specific of what you want and why you can not get what you want. Am willing to help, but need more info.

I totally get it, what you’re saying, and your frustration. I am an ‘older guy. Persevere push through. It’s worth it but I use SD# only for creating drum tracks in order to write music and then record using Pro Tools. It took me a couple of months to get the ball rolling. The learning curbs are steep for sure. But with each painful step you actually are learning more than you realize. If you can be more specific I might be able to help

I don’t understand this! In this day and age, there is a multitude of material available on YouTube which should cover every conceivable type of useage, whether playing with a physical kit, dragging and dropping loops or manually adding within a DAW!

Any new interface can be hard to learn. The problem is usually exasperated if for instance you are trying to learn midi and audio interfaces and how it all works together. As mentioned there is a huge amount of good tutorials out there. When I originally bought Cubase for the Atari I had to learn the Atari, Cubase, midi, syncing to tape and much more with no internet to help. You need to put the time and effort in.

What is really important though is letting people know on here exactly what you are trying to do and at what point you get stuck.
