SD3 Not Showing Up in Pro Tools 10 Plug In Menu

[Jon_97]

I have used the Toontrack product manager to install superior drummer 3 and it completely works as a stand alone but will not show up with my pro tools plug menus on the stereo instrument tracks. Any help would be appreciated!

Search through the posts but I think SD3 is only 64bit and only comes as a vsti and not the old rtas plugin so is probably not compatible with older versions of pro tools. Do a search as this is explained in the forums and I’m not a PT but sure I read this from an earlier poster.

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

Pro Tools 10 like the OP? S3 is 64-bit only and Pro Tools 10 was 32-bit.

Pro Tools 10 is a 32-bit DAW and S3 requires a 64-bit host. The only solution is to use a 64-bit host.
