Superior Drummer 3 in Cubase 12

[Andrew Payne]

Hi,

I have just upgraded to Cubase 12 and Superior Drummer 3 doesn’t seem to be working well within Cubase 12. Lots of pops and clicks etc that I never had in Cubase 11. Before I go and do my troubleshooting in C12 (checking all settings and preferences) just wanted to see if anyone else has used SD3 successfully in Cubase 12 or has the upgrade had an impact. cheers, Andrew

Is this anything to do with vst2 vs vst3 ?

SOLVED ( I think). I updated all Cubase preference settings to be same as previous version 11 and now seem to be OK. Very minor increase in latency but not noticeable.

My understanding was that Cubase 12 would no longer accept VST2, or VST1 for that matter.

This is interesting as all Superior Drummer VSTs are up to VST2, even though Superior Drummer version is 3.

BUT, after doing some research, it appears that this is only the case for Apple Silicon Macs AND while st running their “Native” mode.

correct. Vst2 is supported in Cubase on pc for another two years so this is not a problem. As you say It is only on Mac M1 computers running in native mode that vst3 is not supported. It is supported on Rosetta.

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
