Issues/feature requests when bouncing “all microphones as audio”

[DrewBySnacks]

Hello!
I am moving a project I recorded with my e-kit and Superior Drummer into mixing, and I am having a couple of issues when bouncing audio.

Firstly, and I posted a reply to an old thread with the same issue….in using the Death half of Death and Darkness kit the Overhead Mono channel for some reason does not seem to bounce (yes I have bleed enabled and I have selected the correct options, every other mic bounces properly). It seems I am not the only one to run into this but I do not see an explanation or solution. Any advice or insight on this Toontrack? For now my workaround is to do a second bounce sending only that microphone to outputs and then adding it in manually, but this is rather annoying to have to do.

Secondly, it would be WONDERFUL if there were a way to have the raw microphone bounces retain the names of the channels and order when we rename and order them. I completely understand why this option renders everything “pre-mixer”….but when bouncing a kit with a lot of drums, or especially several stacks/tails/etc it gets rather frustrating to have to sort through a bunch of files named x-snare top, x-snare top 2, x-snare top 3, when in SD3 I can rename those simply “Tama, Gretsch, Processed Snare”.

I cannot see a logical reason this feature hasn’t been added yet, it seems so simple to add (unless it’s a programming issue I don’t understand), it would be so incredibly helpful.

Are you using SD3 standalone or in a daw? When you say ‘going to mixing’ to me that implies using a daw. If so then why not just use multi-out in the SD3 mixer and route the tracks to separate audio tracks in said daw?

I tried both stand alone and the plugin inside Ableton, same results. I do not want to route the outputs to busses before sending into Ableton, and using the routing method limits to 16 stereo tracks (15 really since 1/2 is reserved for mains in Live). I have 3rd party plugins I am using for EQ etc, and I want to apply all of my own processing to the individual channels before being limited to the busses. Additionally, when mixing I find it incredibly beneficial to have access to all the individual drum mics….a lot of effects can be achieved simply automating the right mic
