Follow Host DAW

[Moonbat]

I am told that the sequence/default project in the SD3 Song track should automatically sync up with the host DAW (in my case Pro Tools 20.3) session when play is activated in PT. But the SD3 track doesn’t play at all. I’m new to SD3 and wondering how to set it to follow the host. I’ve already gone to “File” & “Set current to default project.”

How are you loading S3 in ProTools?

Hi I’m using Superior drummer 3 for first time today and

I see a follow host

however when I open up my digital performer 11.4 on my Mac PowerBook I’m finding I still have to drag the midi data into the DAW

what can be done so it will sink automatically

mor is this not possible

thanks

If SD3 is loaded a plug-in in your DAW and Follow Host is enabled, the MIDI in your SD3 timeline will play in sync with the DAW.

What about transporting the midi file into

the Daw

does it not do that?

that’s what I what I need to know

do I have to say and drop the file or is there a way it transports

beacuse it gets messy

if I want to edit it I. SD3

after the fact

do you get my question now ?

and what you told me

I read

I need to know what I just asked you in this message

does it link up and sync the midi info in my daw or do I have to drag and drop it in the track  because if it links that means I can make my decisions and edits without pasting over the midi info in the daw

not erasingnit

will it automatically any way possible export into the daw

If so how ?
thanks man

Because it’s not working if I don’t export it by drag and drop

That’s a different thing and is not what Follow Host is about.

There is no syncing of edits in one or the other. Generally, DAWs don’t work that way. Best to edit in either one or the other and keep it there.
