Does Deleting surround/height/extra bleed affect other sdx

[ezdrummer712]

If I choose to delete the optional sd3 , does this affect other sdx libraries and presets, or just those within core?

 

I’d like to get Legacy of rock but I just don’t have enough space, and I do not use core

If you don’t want to deal with an external hard drive due to inconvenience, I get it. Otherwise for $60 you can get a 2TB HD that would hold every TT product ever made.

I concur with Shootie on this one. However, in answer to your question, deleting the extra bleed will not affect any SDX. They have their own ambient channels. Legacy of Rock is one of my go-to libraries

Using an external drive isn’t a deal breaker, so I’ll check into that As well . Any brand of hard drive you’d recommend? I have A 2009 Mac (usb 2.0)

 

thanks

Hi there,

“2009 Mac” that’s not a typo is it? Which model and processor and how much RAM do you have installed? Some of the Legacy of Rock presets are quite RAM hungry.

As for hard drive, I would say the “usual suspects” WD, Hitachi, etc for spinners or Samsung, Crucial, etc for SSDs. Might want to check OWC for something specific for Mac. I had a 2009 iMac when it was released and used Crucial RAM and OWC drives.

What specific 2009 Mac do you have? Desktop? Laptop? Doubtful that USB 2.0 will be fast enough for decent loading times. Do you have an unused Firewire 800 port? Either way you should go to OWC and see what they have – the people there should be able to help you. Ordinarily I’d say to get a housing and put in an SSD of one’s choice on the fastest connection you have.

I would agree. SSD on FireWire 800 would give you a far better performance for loading since you can have SD3 load asynchronously, which would really help for libraries such as Legacy of Rock as some presets can rub you well over 10GB (hope your computer has enough RAM as Brad mentioned). For $150-200, it is well worth it.

Thanks . I’ll check into all of those.  I may just upgrade the ssd I have my samples on from 500 GB to 1-2tb.  I have upgraded the Mac a lot, but it is as follow .

My Mac is a Mac Pro 2009

processor 3.33 Ghz 6 core

memory 32 GB

4 HD’s

system drive is a 500 gb ssd

sample drive is a 500 gb (superior drummer is here obviously. Samsung ssd. Loads pretty fast

session drive is a sata 1tb

Also have a 1tb sata  for time machine back ups

You don’t need an enclosure. Put the 2TB SSD with a StarTech adapter in the drive bay replacing your SD3 drive. Should work without issues

Even better is to put that ssd on a pcie card and in the card cage right next to the video card. In my 2012 MacPro I have a 1TB ssd as my system drive in the slot next to the video card and a 2 TB ssd in the other pcie slot for my samples. This way the transfer speed will be roughly double what it is in a drive bay. Move all the samples to that ssd. 2 drive bays open. Third drive bay has a 4TB 7200 rpm spinner for sessions and the 4th drive bay has a 4TB 7200 rpm spinner for backups where I keep ALL my installers. System and sessions backups are on external drives that are disconnected when not needed.

Forgot about the PCIe slots in that thing. Definitely a better idea than the drive bay.

I’m in the same boat (internal SSD drive is starting to fill up) and I was just thinking the other day about deleting the extra content I never use — my question is:  How do you go about deleting JUST the surround/extra bleed from the Core set?

Thanks.
