SD3 not always starting when play button is pressed in host DAW

[Greg Johnson]

I am using SD3 in Cubase 12 on PC.  It’s a fresh install on a brand new computer and the SD3 program and library are both installed on the system SSD.  Sometimes (not always) when I press play on Cubase, SD3 will not start playback of the drum track.  Usually when this happens, I stop the host and restart between 1-5 times and eventually it will sync up.  I also experience this issue on mixdown.  The strange thing on the mixdown was that the track eventually came it about 3/4 through the song.  I’ve owned and used SD3 for over a year and never had this problem before.  Any ideas?

This is a known bug in SD3  3.3.2 and Toontrack is aware of it. What new bugs they will introduce when/if they fix this bug is anybody’s guess.

The level of gross stupidity has reached amazing levels.

Above users Daron and Mark King are both on Windows 11 machines with Cubase 11/12 are are both reporting no issues.

What version were they using because nobody using Cubase 12 had a working transport system Then beyond all human belief. I then got accused of being Anti-Semitic. Because of an accidental spelling mistake. How the hell would I know if someone was Jewish or not. Toontrack have a major problem with regression testing. In that they do not do it. They charge top Doller and have a poor development team. FULL STOP! I am now using the latest version of Cubase which is 12.0.40. It still doesn’t work. It seems Olof thinks we are complete fools and any old crap will fend us off. This is a show stopper bug that could have been fixed weeks ago. If they had any respect for their users.

I started this on the 1st of July 2022 and still they are trying to prove me wrong. They need to look very closely at the development team and decide if they know what they are doing. I said back out the Logo/Nag screen weeks ago and get the system working for users. They decided to try and prove me wrong and get the Nag Screen working. I have only been developing software/firmware for over 37 years what do I know.   This is simple back out what has broken the system until you figure out what is broken. But no we will prove you wrong! Here is the link to my first report of this horrific bug….Topic: Why! The logo. | Toontrack
