My electronic and percussion kits aren’t loading

[sleshnyc]

SD3 in protools 2022 on a mac 10.14.6.  The regular library is fine, but i can’t get the electronic or percussion library, and though I tried to add a new path is says there are no sounds available. And yes i’ve updated my toontracks to the latest.

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.3.0
Operating system: macOS Mojave (10.14)

Hi,

what electronic and percussion sounds are we talking about?

The built-in or EZX libraries? You shouldn’t add any paths to either but especially not the built-in ones.

BR,
John

Should be there as they’re part of the core library. Is SD3 pointed to the location of the core library?

They are not really part of the core library, they are installed with the software updates. Go to Settings > Libraries/Paths. If you have them or “EZdrummer 2 Percussion” listed there, remove them from there and restart SD3.

What do you mean by ‘weird popup box’? In the ‘source’ slot in the popup box you put in the path to the images on your computer and then follow through with the rest of the procedure. Did you do what Olof said to do?

No offense. But making me type in a path is like from 1987. I don’t know how to express the path to my screenshot and what it’s size is etc. I mean cmon. This shouldn’t be this hard guys. Yes I did what the other response said but those libraries aren’t there that’s why I want to send you a screenshot   Is there really no where I can email it?

How to express as you say it the path to your screenshot is easy. Make the screen shot and save it to your desktop. Then in Finder find the path, copy it and then paste it in the box in the window. Or do a ‘get info’ on the screenshot and the path is in the ‘general’ section of the info window with the line titled “Where’. You don’t need to put in a size. Just the path and the title to the screenshot. It’s not the easiest thing but not the most difficult thing either; really pays to know one’s way around the operating system (in this case OSX).

There’s no way to email it.

There’s plenty of people who put screenshots in their posts so it’s not impossible – just takes a little bit of work and patience.

Just thought I would step in to this good natured exchange of thoughts and ideologies…. @sleshnyc. What happens when you load the preset;

Superior Drummer 3 > Andreas Estensen – Experimental Electronic > Buried?

Does it load up OK or do you get an error?

Loads okay for me.

And good to see you here as well Brad. I do know that screen name quite well. I’m moving up from BFD 3; am loving what SD3 can do. The drumjack52 screen name I use here is a holdover from when I was one of the original members of Drumeo.
