SD 3 not visible in Cubase Pro 10 after migration to new Mac with the same OS

[Carl Michael]

I have used my MacBook Pro in the studio för years and it’s been working well, but now I have replaced it with another Mac (with the same MacOS, High Sierra) and I have done clean install instead of restoring from a Time Machine copy. Everything works fine but Cubase can’t find SD 3 as a plugin. SD3 works fine stand alone, but Cubase can’t find it and now can’t work on a mix which needs to be completed before Christmas.

Everything is installed using default paths and the file “Superior Drummer 3.vst” is in the “VST” folder which is in the “Plugin” folder where all plugins are installed automatically.

Everything is updated to the latest version as of today.

Please advice.

Thanks.

I have the pc version of cubase but it’s probably the same on the Mac. You can set up cubase to look in different locations. The one with SD3 in is probably not there. Can’t remember where in cubase as not in front of my pc.

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

Thank you. I have looked in Cubase for a way to add alternative paths for plugins, but I can’t find anything.

Depending on your Cubase version it is something like this:

Thanks, but the path was already there. (I just checked after reading your advice.) Any other ideas?

Thanks again for responding on a Sunday! 🙂
