Superior Drummer 3 opening/Reading existing Ez Drummer beats

[SpectorBass]

Hi All,
I’m new here.

I’ve been using EZ drummer for years and love it, but I realised the other day that I want more functionality and tools. I doing research I bought SDX 3. It looks great.

I’m in the process of recording/editing/writing 15 songs for an album. Half the songs already have drums from EZ in them. I can’t find at way to open a session in Logic Pro X and have SDX running the drums….. it still says EZD for the drums.

It’s probably a really stupid question, but how do I edit the existing EZ drums in SDX?

Thank you for your time.

Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

Easiest way would be to drag the MIDI from EZD onto your instrument track in Logic Pro X and then replace EZD with SD3. I would recommend that you create a project alternative in Logic so as not to destroy your original work.

If you’re unable to create a new SD3 instrument in your project, could it be that Logic can’t see the folder your SD3 is installed in ?

SD3 wsill happily run alongside EZD as a seperate VST (sorry, I’m PC – are they AU in Mac?) and sometimes they get put in completely different folders.

AU’s are installed in only one folder in either the system or user level. SD3 by default installs into the system level. Logic not seeing the Audio Unit is either a result in that it wasn’t validated or not installed altogether.

In both cases, open the plug-in manager within Logic and check to see that SD3 was installed. If so, you can select it and re-validate the plug-in. If you don’t see it, then you need to close Logic and re-run the installer and do a custom install ensuring that AU is selected. When you re-launch logic, it should automatically pick up and validate any new plug-ins.

Hi Paul,
I don’t think I was clear with what I was asking –

SD3 loaded find and I could use it in the Logic session. I just needed a way for the existing drum session (done in EZD) to be read and edited in SD3.

Thank you for your time though.

Hi Jord,
A version of this seems to have done the trick.

Thank you.
