Let’s start with the obvious… is Follow Host enabled?

Pending that, what is your routing into your DAW like?

The fact that you are playing drums on your keyboard has zero bearing. MIDI is agnostic… IOW it doesn’t differentiate between E-Drums, keyboard or MIDI pad controllers (which basically what an E-Drum kit is.. a glorified MIDI pad controller that you can beat up with sticks) and has been this way for 43 years. To add further to this, I’m using Logic Pro 11, which have a feature called Session Players. The “session drummer” has its own mapping. Creating a map using the MIDI/E-Drum setting within Superior Drummer allows Logic to play session player MIDI regions directly. Superior Drummer doesn’t know nor care where the MIDI came from.

MIDI/E-drums setting is where you should be mapping your keyboard. It is where you want to translate all of your incoming MIDI information into Superior Drummer.

We’re going to need more details in order to help you. Perhaps post and Superior Drummer project and a screenshot to start.

It doesn’t sound like you are using the MIDI/E-Drums setting. That is where you should be assigning your mappings.

In general, you shouldn’t have any issues running EZ Drummer on your 8GB laptop. It is a great low footprint instrument. I was running it on an old 8GB 2012 MacBook Pro without any real performance issues. Latency issues may depend on the audio interface you are using with it. If you are using something like a VOLT and plugging in, however, you can take advantage of near zero latency when recording your ideas.

Your only real limitation is memory. However, if you stick to using low footprint kits you should be OK.

Are you stating that you added your chords but the key signature was in another key? f that’s the case, you can change the key without transposing the song. Use the no transpose song key.

As far as having any of the ToonTrack products follow key, while they are part of the MIDI standard, they are not a part of the real-time performance aspect of the standard (Key signature is part of the metadata in a MIDI file). So, unfortunately, you are not going to get that information from Logic when you change keys. Although, I’m more ASD than ADD, I’m in a similar boat as you as I am laser focused on a different aspect and totally channel out the key change. Thus, checking the key signature is more of a pre-flight check habit. There’s no real way around that.

The core library as well as the Death part of Death & Darkness contains a sub channel.

For drums that don’t have a sub, I will create one using something like Little Alterboy from Soundtoys and use similar EQ tactics.

Just had a look… Yeah, it’s a subwoofer. in this live situation it will have pretty much the same effect as using a sub microphone on the kick for recording. I believe that the core library already has a kick sub channel on it. You can tighten that by using a band pass EQ and bringing it up underneath.

Looking at The Dance, I think I might be missing something because all I see on Mick’s kick drum is a gold binding. if you can find a spot on the video that shows exactly what you are looking at and can grab a screenshot of it, that might be helpful. I’m sure that whatever it is you are looking at, we can emulate it in Superior Drummer.

And if I were to run all the instruments through Logic from the DL16 to the MAC, I can have separate channels for the drums and instruments all controlled in Logic… with full controls to compressor and gate etc… but that would not allow individual musicians to control the mix for their in-ears.

That’s not entirely true. You can route instruments or groups into their own track stack, and then feed auxiliary channels off of the stems to go to separate mixers, allowing the musicians to control their mix.

Other than that, it sounds like you might have needed Superior Drummer for the stuff you are doing.

Session Organ is a little different. Check your MIDI Input Settings to ensure that your KS49 is selected and set your keyboard mode (you could probably do split but you might not have enough keyboard, depending on the range you want to play).
