Bear-Faced CowAgain, how are your regions lined up? I haven’t lost any edits with any regions set up as stated above.

Bear-Faced CowNot seeing this issue in Logic. What is your delay compensation set to? If it is set to All, try changing it to either Instruments and Aux Tracks or Off.

Bear-Faced CowThe bug appears to be in using a partial bar. By using a full bar, it appears that the bug is not evident.
Copy part of your beat into the first part of the region. Or, cut a piece of your groove and join a copy to the fill to make a complete bar. As long as you are dealing with full bars, you probably won’t encounter this issue.
jord
Bear-Faced CowOne workaround that seems to have worked for me is to keep the the full region aligned with the bars in the track and make sure their length is in multiples of the bar length. Doing this, I haven’t lost any Fill data.
Hope this helps

Thanked by: AcrainBear-Faced CowAnother thing, having gone though all of the snares in an attempt to find the one that corresponded to your sample: the snare you demonstrated appears to be tuned upwards, and is thus processed. It may also have been stacked. All this, in addition to the above, are bound to introduce all types of noise and distortion. That’s not indicative of the samples themselves.

Bear-Faced CowJust to clarify, Logic’s Drummer doesn’t work like this either. It’s not some magical “groovinator” type of feature. It doesn’t do the work for you. You still have to select the groove you want to play and shape its complexity and dynamics, and it is a bit more of a manual process than using Tap2Find and Edit Play Styles, as mentioned above. Drummer won’t automagically find a beat for you.
The “Follow Track” basically takes the groove you’ve chosen and will remove kick or snare hits based on the absence of corresponding transients on the track you’ve set to follow. However, this is more useful for tracks that have some sort of groove to it, rather than say playing a straight eighth note beat against a straight eighth note bass line.
You can exercise the same control using the SD3 using the grid editor, manually removing hits you choose, rather than letting the computer decide. The up side is that you can also add hits, which Follow Track does not do.

Bear-Faced CowI didn’t say anything about a noise floor. I said harmonic distortion. Some samples could be more susceptible to it due to the frequencies they carry than others.
I have the noise of many standard presets in the SD3, this is not due to my own presets!
And I said that there are a number of presets that utilize effects that will introduce noise. Effects like distortion and compression can easily do this. As was already suggested, post a project file.
The Zoom UAC 2 can not reproduce certain Hz areas properly? My high quality headphone reveals these problems.
How would you know your headphones would reveal it, considering that I just told you about the Zoom’s THD issue? Usually THD issues are revealed through a computer analyzed spectrum sweep, and not a set of headphones.
I will test RME Babyface Pro, when I have the same problems
And how does it sound on other interfaces? I tested your file on two computers, one with an UAD Apollo, and got different results.

Bear-Faced CowAside from the fact that an MP3 is not a good example to demonstrate noise, due to its own noise inference because of how it encodes and dithers, your issues may be more audio interface related. The UAC-2 appears to be known for adding a bit of harmonic distortion.
Again, as was suggested, post an SD3 project file, as some of the presets (and FX) also introduce noise.

Bear-Faced CowHaving watched the video, it appears that he is cycling through the various kits within those four presets.

Bear-Faced CowI don’t know if I can call myself new any more since I came full on board when SD3 was released. However, from what I have learned, I’d say November is where we prepare our metal to decorate our Christmas trees. And Toontrack is giving us to power tools to forge our metal.
Sadly for me, my metal month with D&D won’t be able to happen until the new year, but I can live vicariously through everyone else this month. Good thing that many of the other SDXs that I own are more than fabulous to carry me through Metal Month.

Thanked by: NocturneBear-Faced CowDeath and Darkness was just released for Metal Month. Considering that they released three expansions this year, any more before the end of the year would probably be nothing short of a surprise. Even if they did, I am still aiming for D&D because it sounds amazing.

Thanked by: NocturneBear-Faced CowI would not buy an EZX for the MIDI. Even more so if I had the SDX version of the expansion. I would use the money to get the MIDI packs alone.
jord
Bear-Faced CowWhy get the Hard Rock EZX if you’re going to get The Rock Foundry? From what I see, the EZX is pretty much a subset of the SDX.
I got the Hard Rock Grooves MIDI pack last year. It’s one of my faves.
jord
Bear-Faced CowI particularly like the Play Style Editor (it’s what sold me onto Toontrack since my EZ2 days). There are times when I am programming some rhythms, I will then engage the Play Style Editor wondering “what would the computer do”.
