My preset drum sound changes when I route it to an aux track in Pro Tools.

Hey guys,

I recently purchased the EZx Pop Punk and loaded a preset. However, the drum sound keeps changing when I route it in Pro Tools. The overhead (OH) channel in the Superior Drummer mix window sounds like it has some sort of echo as well, which goes away when I mute it. I’ve never had this issue before. My Pro Tools and Toontrack software are all up to date. When I re select the preset, everything goes back to normal but sound changes when I reroute. Any ideas on what it could be?

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.3.7
Operating system: macOS Ventura (13)

Hi,

I am not sure exactly which preset you are using but you are simply experiencing what happens when you break out channels going to first an internal Bus with FX, which in turn is routed to an internal Master with FX. When you route the e.g. OH channel directly to an input in Pro Tools, that channel’s signal is not passing through the bus/master FX any longer.

If you wish to still have all SD3 mixer FX on the channels you route to separate Pro Tools Aux/Instrument Tracks, you need to mimic the signal flow for each output in the SD3 mixer.
