Superior Drummer 3 request : metronome solo defeat

[djabthrash]

In the current version of Superior Drummer 3 (Superior Drummer 3 plug-in version 3.3.6 (build 35757) [64-bit VST 2] / Standalone host version 3.3.6 (build 35757)) :

When the metronome is on, if you solo any channel on the mixer, then it mutes the metronome (because it’s not a solo-ed channel).
This sucks because sometimes you want to hear the metronome but be able to audition only certain channels by solo-ing them, and you don’t have the metronome as its own channel so you can’t solo it to be able to hgear it alongside other solo-ed tracks.

It would be nice to have the metronome have a “solo defeat” behaviour by default, which means you can still hear the metronome even if you solo any channel(s) and the metronome is turned on.
If you don’t want to hear the metronome, you just have to turn it off.

Hi..how I route the Metronome on a sererate Channel when I just wanna listen the Click on my Headphones and not on Stereo Out. Thanks for help!

Hi Kamari,

this depends on your audio hardware. In SD3, you can go into Settings > Metronome and set the Metronome output to any of the 32 outputs (16 Stereo). However, if you do not have a multi out audio interface, all plug-in outputs will still be routed to the first Stereo Output. There is no way for SD3 to send the Metronome to your headphones only, since this would have to be set up in your audio interface. E.g. I have an audio interface with its own mix control software and I send the Metronome to a plug-in output I mute from being sent to monitors but I can set a pre-send to my Cue 1 mix, which is what I listen to in my headphones.

BR,
John
