Holding ctrl-option while clicking the pin button works here. The pin button is grey, but it will highlight when hovered over it.

Is the pin button in the preview pane on? If not, then click on it to turn it on.

It is probably best if you zip up your project and post it in this thread for the devs to have a look.

If I am reading you correctly, you made changes in the second verse. If I am correct in what you were doing, then your changes in the second verse should not affect your first verse. If you have made changes in the first verse and they disappeared, then this would be a different issue.

You’ll need to be more specific with your issue as well as outlining your steps.

More to the point, you do not have to purchase any EZX to play any of the available groove packs. If you want additional ready mixed kits by well-known producers, that’s where you would want more EZXs.

Considering you indicate you are running the latest version of SD3, did you by chance open Reaper in 32-bit mode?

If you think EZD is fun, then deep diving into SD3 is quite the blast. Just sayin’ 😉

Considering that Luna is rather half baked and not ready for prime time, I would ensure that all auto save features on SD3 were enabled. Luna might be having difficulty recognizing when the session is dirty.

Midi in and of it’s self, does not make any sound. Expansion packs, such as an EZX, SDX, EBX etc, and groove packs are different in the sense that expansion packs contain a sound library as well as Midi. If all you want are grooves, then just need to buy midi packs. Some expansion packs will contain midi that is separately available. Other packs contain midi that are exclusive to that pack. As to which ones, you would have to check on the website.

BEST ANSWER

Here’s a simple test: drag the midi region from EZD to your DAW. If everything still sounds right, compare it with your midi region. If it doesn’t, then post your findings.

Make sure you are up to date. There was a problem with one of the previous versions. I just checked 3.2.3 and it is there.

IMO The Rock Foundry SDX seems more suitable for these two. While Legacy of Rock is a fantastic pack, Rock Foundry is bit more weighty, which seems more suitable for these two albums, to least to me.

This is actually quite a common problem with using “Xdrums” from expansion libraries. In virtually all cases, they’re recorded in different rooms with different acoustic characteristics, and getting them to blend together can be quite a challenge, especially if you rely heavily on the ambient mics. It gets a little easier if you only use the direct mics for each instrument and create an artificial “room” using a reverb plugin.

Of course this all depends on the kind of music you make and the sound you’re after. Me, personally, I find it’s almost never worth the effort to use Xdrums for this exact reason. It’s far easier for me to pick a drum kit, from whichever library, and use it as a single coherent piece. But, as Jord mentions above, sometimes wildly different sounding samples can be exactly what you’re after, and that’s fine too.

I do not view this as a problem. Compared to other drum software that I have worked with in the past, SD3 provides a lot more tools to make everything fit a lot easier. aside from the ability to borrow ambient channels from other libraries, the use of reverb is not uncommon in audio production. It is most prevalent in almost every 80s song. One of my favourite reverbs is UAD RealVerb Pro, as it allows me to we create various types of rooms, including the types found in the Hansa SDX (I have a nice marble room setting that I use).

in the audio production sense, we define our reality. And considering that we have the tools to make our drum mixes sound any which way we want, this to me is more of an opportunity than a problem, which is really the opposite side of the same coin.
