    Hi folks —

    I’m the one who started this thread in 2018.

    For the record, there was never any resolution to it.

    Toontrack just stopped answering my messages when they ran out of easy options.

    For me, SD3 has been a disappointing, useless, expensive waste of time.

    What interface are you using? I am running one of my units on Mojave and not experiencing this. There has to be a solution out there.

    sorry I see it’s a Focusrite. Could you please try and run SD3 through your internal sound card and see if it’s something between SD3 and your interface?

    Could you remove your TD-50 from the USB port and see if you get the same result by clicking the GUI?

    Are you using an external USB hub?

    Just found out I had not installed standalone so it’s installing right now.  Hopefully it’s the sound card that has the issue I can always  buy another one. Also yes it’s M1. Also the latest steignberg driver didn’t help. I also forgot to mention that I’m running on 8gb of memory: could that be the problem?  But at the same time Eazy drummer running smooth no issues.

    Ezdrummer doesn’t use anywhere near the memory of SD3. It’s a simpler program without all the articulations and bleeds. 8gig is not really enough and can certainly make a difference to how SD3 works. The noises use describe are from running buffers too low but you may not have the option to put them higher in fear of high latency.

    you can’t expect SD3 to play the same as ezdrummer as it’s a bigger program which is a lot more sophisticated and resource hungry.

    SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

    I am in Superior 3 and sounds are distorted, even when I play them manually.  Any ideas?  I raised the buffer size in ProTools Ultimate, This is causing deadline project issues.  Can anyone help asap?

    Possibly, but a lot more information would help, interface type (model,specs) Version of Pro Tools, host metrics (RAM, CPU, etc)…

    Nope.  Hold the bus!  Sorry for the distraction.   There was a Superior compressor on the overheads that was the issue.  My bad.   Thanks for your reply.
