Exporting Superior Drummer 3 Audio in Logic

[Jonathan0226]

I’m having an issue where every time I export my song in logic there’s no drums.

I’m using superior drummer 3 as a multi out instrument plug in and using the piano roll that’s built into superior drummer 3 because it is superior, no pun intended, for writing drum parts.

Is there away to export songs from logic with the audio from superior drummer 3, using the built in piano roll, rather than the piano roll provided in logic?

You need to use the bounce function in SD3. If you have tempo changes in logic then these will also gave to be in SD3 to use this feature. Make sure tempo is set the same in both.

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

But won’t it bounce as a seperate track from the rest of the song?  My goal is to export the drums and the song together into one finalized track without having to do any extra importing/ exporting.  I was able to do this when I was using cakewalk.

The multiple outputs are nothing more than aus tracks. Logic does not bounce aux tracks, as they do not hold audio or midi content themselves. While there are workarounds around this, Mark‘s suggestion is the most optimal. Importing your audio back into Logic is nothing more than a drag and drop. It’s not daunting. Latest version of Logic have been revamped to make the process even better.

Thanks for the info.  I’m fine with doing that.   Just to confirm what you guys are saying is that this feature is not available with logic?  For some reason cakewalk let’s you just export everything no problem.  The only problem I foresee is that since I’m doing the drums multiout into logic then mixing using logic instead of superior, I’ll have to bounce all the tracks separately then import multiple tracks back into logic each time.  I wasn’t planning on bouncing everything as one track and importing a single track back in.

You can bounce all of the outs from SD3 simultaneously. No need to do it one at a time. You can also drag them all into Logic at once.

I’m not sure how logic works but in Cubase I can use multi outs, add effects/processing to these channels and I can export a mix using these. I don’t use bounce by the way as I find it cumbersome and you have to import tempo maps if you change tempo. I prefer to use multi outs and then just export the final mix of the whole track in Cubase.

Exporting multi out drum mixes can be done in Logic, but routings would have to be set up within Logic, which fortunately can be saved as a patch because I wouldn’t want to do this twice.

I’m pretty much the same in that I haven’t had any viable reasons to bounce SD3 to audio since using it (I had numerous reasons in BFD). MIDI is quite the different story, since Logic has many ways to edit and manipulate it.

Thanks for the answers.  I figured out my problem.  If you bounce the whole song as a track rather export the whole song, it works and you don’t have to bounce the midi to audio in the session.

Hope this helps if anyone has the same problem.

That could introduce more problems than solve, especially if you have extra items such as bus processing.
