GRID EDITOR TO DAW

[GIACORINTHEPACK]

Hello.

I’m pretty new to recording and editing, both in SD3 and DAW.
I’m recording the drum tracks with an e-drum kit from Logic.
The track I use is an SD3 software instrument with my set and setup.
My problem is that once I have the track recorded, the midi track appears in both Logic and SD3. I would like to fix the beats and volumes with the grid editor and have it reflected in my Logic midi track.
What happens to me now is that the original midi still plays with the wrong beats when I listen to it through Logic.
How can I get the arrangements on the SD3 track to be reflected in my DAW?

Thank you very much for your help.

You need that midi info is within SD3 or in the DAW, but not in both places. Some people like to edit the midi in SD3 and some like to edit in DAW.

Just delete the midi in Logic if it’s in SD3. You’re triggering the midi twice I assume.

If you need midi to be in both places at the same time, mute the midi in one of the places.

I prefer to record directly into SD3’s Song Track, not my DAW’s track, and never move the midi to my DAW until it’s necessary. But everyone has their reasons to do one way or the other. My reasons are here.

Yes, I recorded on the Daw because I record simultaneously with a reference guitar and bass. So that they are all coordinated.

But I will delete the midi track from the Daw, I will touch it up with the grid editor and when it is final I will pass it back to the Daw to mix it with the other instruments.

It’s correct, isn’t it?

Thank you very much Shootie.

But if you edit it in the grid editor inside SD3, without midi track in the DAW, you don’t need to pass it back to the DAW. You can, but you don’t need that step.

That works. It just depends on what your needs are is all.

Ok perfect, thank you very much. In fact I have noticed that when bouncing it sounds much better without the midi track in the daw.
All the best!
