Did you import your MIDI tempo changes into the tempo map within SD3?

You can drag your regions onto the Arrange track in Logic. Mind you, it does have me wondering if you are doing anything in the Arrange window that requires SD3’s MIDI on be on it? If not, all you may be doing is duplicating efforts.

Man, sounds like you did things the hard way, sorry to say. You probably could have done it all with SD3’s EQ (it’s quite versatile), before adding some samples (I usually do this for their transients).

As for the cymbals, they are natural at the moment. Panning everything out is more unnatural. However, routing them to their own channels will take care of that. Note that if you start using room channels alongside, it may start sounding even more unnatural.

Geez, you sound as old as I am, using names of music software past! Whenever I mention terms like Notator, my Grandkids are like, “OK, Pops! Time for your meds.”

I am not denigrating Luna’s capabilities in anyway. I’m more than certain that UA is Taking the recording environment very seriously. However, I need more than just being able to record vocals and guitar playing. Logic is more of a writing and arranging tool as well as a recording tool. Even more so, it is the central hub for me as I am writing more on my iPhone and iPad using GarageBand and Music Memos. This is something that Luna doesn’t offer me.

The other strike against Luna, as far as I’m concerned, is the lack of multi out instruments. Part of my SD3 workflow involves multi out because, like you, I am getting full value of my UAD plug-ins. The DBX 160 is one of my most used plug-ins for parallel compression and the Neve 33609 and Studer are on my drum bus (not discounting SD3’s plug-Ins, but I am a Neve guy), amongst a few others, such as creating new drum rooms (don’t underestimate RealVerb – it was a lifesaver in my BFD days).

Perhaps, I can find myself forced to use Luna if they decide to integrate it with Console. It would only piss me off if it puts a dent in my recording chain. Until then, I don’t think I need to worry about it.

Might even be more “profitable“ to focus on more important things, such as getting the punch out of your drum mix, as the OP wanted to figure out in another thread. The points obtained there might prove to be more valuable than what can be said here.

If you have turned caching on, then it needs to play in order to load the required kit pieces. If you want everything loaded immediately, ensure caching is off. The trade-off is that caching loads only the required articulation samples, verses loaded all samples in that articulation. However, you can turn off whatever articulations you don’t need.

I guess all I can say is hope Luna works for you. At the moment I am going to stick with Logic mainly because my workflow is more suited to it, which is why I have stuck with it for the last 30+ years.

If you are experiencing any type of sonic difference with no effects on the output bus of both SD3 and your DAW, then you have some sort of latency issue in your DAW. Don’t know how it is in PT but in Logic it is best to set the plug-in delay compensation to “All” when mixing (you can create a key command to toggle this). I’m using multiple outputs all the time and am not experiencing this issue. 

As far as plug-Ins such as the 670 go, those are as different as the companies that develop them. If anything, as nice as the one in SD3 is, it is nowhere near the same as UAD’s Fairchild emulation in all respects. Trying to match the settings visually will more than likely produce different results. It is best to just use your ears. However, expect sonic differences due to their emulations.

Regardless of what we do for a living, we need to be musicians supporting musicians at this point in time. No one ever looks better by trying to make others look worse.

Everyone is hurting bad enough right now. Many live in fear. They all need music… so let’s help each other make music and demonstrate just how good Toontrack’s products really are.

I saw people running SD3 in Luna on the UAD Forum. Don’t remember which thread. However seeing Mick game post above should also indicate that it should work

Try clearing your audio unit cache and re-scanning. If you’re unsure how to do this, download Onyx as it will do this for.

There are people that are running SD3 with Luna. You may want to check to see if there is a plug-in manager within Luna. Note however, multiple outputs are not supported at this time.

Not necessary as far as I am concerned. I help out in respect of all the mentors before me and not for anything in return. Turning out a good mix means more to me.

Let’s put this in a different light: you do realize what is happening in the western world right now, I hope. Otherwise, let me remind you that aside from millions of people unable to work because of the imposed “shelter in place“ orders, and wondering how their rent or mortgage is going to be paid aside from bills, food, and other expenses, the entire  music industry is on life-support with one heartbeat away from flat lining.

This has a ripple effect to all of the software developers, and ToonTrack is no exception. If anyone needs a break, it is them. Some of us are extremely grateful that we are even able to take part in some of the weekend specials that they have been graciously putting up at this time. I am also certain that they are equally as grateful for every sale they make at this time.

From someone who has half the products you own, with the addition of the two you purchased and audaciously displayed, you have proven that you don’t need any discount for “loyalty”. While I would love to have purchased the exact same stuff that you had purchased, I know that is just not in the cards at this time, and I am totally grateful for what I have and do not need more!

When your MIDI is already in the 120’s, they are already showing that they are being hit hard. The source in this case are unprocessed drums (which are required in order to suit all genres), in which there are frequencies that are taking away from the punchiness.

You can get punch at low velocities as well.
