Superior 3 and Host Timeline’s don’t Match?

[chet couch]

I have Superior 3 installed and noticed the timeline in Superior and the timeline
in Sonar Platinum (my host DAW) do not match up.
I have a project where the drums start a bar 12 in Sonar, but I had to make the
drums start at bar 18 in Superior 3.
Is this the way it’s supposed work?
Am I missing a setting or something?
Seems kinda odd, unintuitive and confusing to me.

Hopefully I am doing something wrong, but if not, I hope they change it.

– Do Superior have the same time signature as Sonar Platinum? If not, that can cause this?
– A loop area in Superior Drummer 3 will make it loop, e.g. possibly not have same position as Sonar.
– Is it correct when you start playback from first bar?

All info given to us will help us solve the case 🙂

Sorry, my bad on this.
For my first test with Superior 3, I just happened
to choose a project that had time signature
changes throughout the song (switching back
and forth between 7/4 and 4/4).

For some reason I thought Superior would pick
up on this automatically.
Anyway I went in and edited the timeline in
Superior to match the timeline in Sonar and all
is working well now.
Sorry again for the confusion.

No worries. It’s understandable that you’d think that because Superior follows the tempo of the Sonare project, but not the time signature. Unfortunately the DAW doesn’t tell Superior about it’s current time signature, that’s why you have to do it manually in Superior’s song track!
