Getting My Completed Superior Drummer 3 Project Into Presonus Studio One 4

[TFM]

Hi,

So I Open SD3 In Studio One.

Create The Full Drum Track I Want To Use IN SD3

Now I Want To Drag It Into Studio One Track View To A Track To Useit.

How Is This Done? I Cannot Get It To Drag Into The Studio One DAW.

Do I Need To Save It? If So What Type Of File? Then Reimport That File?

Should I Try To Drag It Part By Part? Can I Select The Whole Project In The SD3 Project Line And Pull That In?

Thanks For Listening!

hi Tony, i don’t know if this will help but i’ll tell you what i do in studio one with SD3.

i find a groove that will work with the song, i drag the groove into the SD track then I play a scratch track, usually just a guitar and VOX then i  go back and start adding fills, choruses etc.

sometimes i’ll put a groove in the song builder thing that SD has but i mostly use that to store something i know i will want later. i found SD3 a bit confusing compared to SD2 or EZdrummer 1. there are so many features and extra things i will never use.

i hope that helps, i have never actually “answered” a question here before. over the last 6 or 7 years i have asked many, many questions and always found help by people who are way more knowledgeable than me.

Tony-Tony-Tony…. I D&D from SD3 to a Studio One Pro (v4) instrument track all the time. What happens when you try?

If you have a whole song programmed in SD3, use the zoom out widget (magnifying glass with the minus – in it) to display all the blocks. (Far right of the track)

Select the first block, then <shift> select the last block, this will select everything in between. Drag the whole thing to an instrument track in Studio One.

BTW once you have done that deselect “Follow Host” in SD3, otherwise you will get double triggering as the MIDI in your Studio One instrument track with trigger samples as will the track in SD3.

What Joey explained is how I work a lot of time. Find 4 bars that kind of give you the feel of the piece you’re building. Loop it, record some basic tracks around it, then go back to SD3 and build the real drum track with fills and alternative verses, chorus, whatever.

Hope some of this helps.

Hey Joey,

I Will Try That For Sure. Many Thanks For Your Help On This. I Agree That There Are So Many Features That I Don`t Think I Would Be Using Either. But I Must Say I Really Love The Drum Sounds That SD3 Offers!

Cheerz!!

Hey Brad,

I Used Your Instructions And It Works Very Nicely!

The D&D, I Used Both Yours And Joey`s Advice And Made A Quick Loop And Started Working With That, Then Do The Full Track Buildout From There. Working Like A Charm!!

Thanks So Much For Taking The Time Out To Help Me With This!

 

Cheerz,

Tony

This is what I had to do to get this working:

 

1.) create an instrument track in S1

2.) from the browser (F5) drag the SD3 vst onto the track

3.) in SD3 goto settings | general | Midi Out – check this

4.) make sure ‘follow host’ in the transport is checked

5.) drag a groove into the track from a library

6.) set the inputs and outputs to the instrument track to SD3

7.) arm the s1 track for recording and record

You should now see a midi track recorded into s1.

you will want to deselect follow host after you have this in s1

This works so far but, presents a lot more questions about what is going on here.

This is as far as I’ve gotten.  I’d love to hear about mixing and using the presets in

SD3 and getting that audio into s1 for further recording mixing.  I see a lot of people

mixing individual drum kit pieces each with their own tracks in s1, but that seems

to defeat the purpose of having all of that nice stuff in SD3.

I’d love to hear about someone else’s work flow with respect to all of this.

thanks,

billy
