Hi folks.
As the title suggests, I’m very new to all this and have a question which is no doubt blinding obvious, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated:
For the last few months I’ve been purchasing both software and hardware to get a small home studio setup going. I finally acquired all the stuff I was aiming for and now I’m looking to record properly. I’m using a 2011 MacBook Pro with Logic X, a Universal Audio Apollo Twin for my interface and SD3 for all my drum writing requirements. I purchased SD3 first as I thought I could start writing all the beats for the songs I had in mind while I saved up for all the other bits I was needing, and I’m now at the stage where I’d like to import these song files into Logic so I can start adding the additional instrumentation.
I really like the ‘Slow Heavy Pearl’ preset in SD3 and used it for writing all my songs, but I’m at a loss as to how I transfer these arrangements over to Logic with all the effects and levels intact. Every time I use the ‘Bounce’ function and export the song in question as individual tracks, everything sounds drastically different during playback in Logic. It’s like all the effects have been removed and all I’m left with is the raw samples, which is far from ideal! I was under the impression that bouncing would retain all the EQ, effects, etc present during playback in the SD3 stand alone plugin, but it would appear that’s not the case? If so, can anyone explain to me how I can achieve this?
I apologise for my lack of insight here and I appreciate all I’m doing is highlighting my own inexperience, but I’m not really seeing any solutions to this elsewhere online and thought this would be the best place to ask. Again, any advice/assistance would be massively appreciated!
Thanks.
