Hard to tell without seeing the preset. Post it so we can have a look.

The good news is that you won’t have to buy a new computer to fix this issue. The bad news is that you have some work ahead of you to fix it (or maybe that’s good news… who knows).
It really has nothing to do with the bleed in SD3 itself. FONTD is being called in order to grab font information for display purposes. If you have a corrupt font, FONTD does not go quietly into the night. It will try to read that corrupt font over and over. Only way to get it to stop is to locate and remove the corrupt font. Luckily, it is only slowing the system down. I’ve had cases where it crashed apps because I had some old fonts in the system as a result of being a long time Mac user.

Thanked by: Jason Moore LAcFONTD running normally here activating all surround channels on default kit. Sudden high FONTD usage is an indication of a corrupt font. If the validation in Font Book doesn’t uncover the bad font, you may have to try removing font families one by one and test.

Thanked by: Jason Moore LAcIf Logic is launching okay without SD3, you might want to try disabling SIP and reinstalling SD3 (and possibly Logic).
Here’s a link to disable SIP: https://www.imore.com/how-turn-system-integrity-protection-macos
Remember to re-enable SIP after you’re done.

Only the Mute Hit articulation plays a muted ride. The rest ring out. It sounds like you have either selected the Mute Hit or there is some MIDI CC or MIDI note choking the ride. You need to check your grooves, either in the Grid editor or in your DAW (depending on where your grooves are).

You can click the dropdown arrow of the Library in the library section of your search and select Exclude. It’s not permanent, but it’s doable.

That’s easy: compress the crap out of it with a slow attack after applying the envelope. 😀

Thanked by: bobbyharlowYou would adjust your decay to let the transient through and bring down the sustain to a level where you feel you have dampened enough of the ring. Adjust the Hold for how much dampened ring before fading out with the release. Adjust the release to taste (everything is done to taste) and add a curve to it.
Your envelope would resemble something similar to this picture (I may have exaggerated some of the points for clarity).

Thanked by: bobbyharlow and Bobby CampbellAside from the fact that whatever you are playing it through is heavily compressing it (note your audio vs a raw bounced clip of the solo’d kick from SD3), you are also working with a kick that has a resonator head on, which is how it sounds when sampled. This kick has more the John Bonham type of feel if you are going for a rock type of sound. If you want something a little tighter, then there are other kicks that fit the bill.

You will find differences ranging from variations to grooves between the packs, and considering that they are from the same drummer in this case, you’re bound to have some playing consistency between the two (which I consider a good thing). One way to tell if the pack is a must have is to listen to the audio demos to find if there’s something there that you feel you’re missing.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to lock the time signature on an empty timeline. You can work around it, however, by putting an empty groove region on the track. This appears to stop the time signature from changing once you add the groove.

Thanked by: AlderGroveThe Blues EZX pack is an EZ Drummer expansion pack. What the disclaimer is stating is that if you own that EZX, you already have the MIDI that is in the Blues EZX MIDI pack.
