Did you use the program manager to uninstall the MIDI groove pack?

probably best if something like this was made into a preference or view setting. Personally I like it larger as it makes it easier to interpret the MIDI patterns better. However, others don’t and that’s OK.

This is a resources saving feature in Logic. You can either put an empty MIDI region in each track or disable this feature in the preferences.

I usually store my recorded audio in Logic is CAF format, which is 32 bit float. Saved converting when applying effects processing directly to the track.

not sure what you consider a flaw here. All of the kids within a library are listed in the parts preset Sub menu. You can use them to replace any kit within a preset. The core Library also has a clean kits sub folder that give you a jumpstart on any preset. These are available for instant recollection.

Superior Drummer and Logic are two distinct entities. You cannot gain the record buttons. Besides, why are you hitting the record in Logic? You just need to enable recording in Superior Drummer and hit play in Logic.

FYI Logic does not use VSTs.

That is the reason that recording, mixing and mastering in 24 bit is very recommendable against 16. One can go to 16, but only after the mixing and mastering is done in (preferably) 24 bit, or more.

You don’t mix in 24 bits. You bounce into 24 bit. Almost every modern DAW will use 32 bit float internally for audio channels and 64 bit float buses and output channels for mixing.

Have you tried rescanning your user presets? It’s under the user presets dropdown.

Re: 16 bit vs 24 bit sample depth – please point me to any recording that gets close to using 96dB of dynamic range. 96dB is a 636 times increase in intensity, since it’s 2X volume every 10dB. 🙂

It has nothing to do with how loud a recording is, but how clean it is at low volume. 16 bit Audio will distort at lower volume. That is why using 24 bit, or even better 32 bit float, Audio is more optimal for recording and mixing.

And as far as your decibel calculations, it reads like you just looked that up on ChatGPT.

Cool! I figured you would have the definitive on that. IOW, EZ Drummer 3 EZXs’ audio quality rivals that of BFD since at last check, they used 20 bit audio.

I’ve used the Signature, Acoustic Songwriter and Latin Cuban Percussion packs because they sound amazing in a mix.

On the other side of Canada around Toronto and like occasional Starbucks.

To expand upon what Jack is Saying, sampling at a higher sample rate and bit depth has little to do with human hearing in this case. A higher sample rate provides a horizontal resolution, providing more hit points on higher frequency while a higher bit depth gives you a greater vertical resolution which is more prominent at lower volumes. For most rock music, you can get away with 16 bit resolution since the drums are loud which are evident in packs from Bob Rock and Jay Ruston. For jazz, 24 bit resolution is better to which an SDX such as Jazz Sessions are more appropriate. As far as sample rate goes 44.1 kHz works fine because beyond a certain frequency drums get irritating in a mix and easily cause ear fatigue.

There are plenty of differences between EZXs and SDXs. EZXs consist of mainly the key common articulations. They have only a few bleed channels. And if I’m not mistaken, they are 16 Bit Audio, Which will account for a reduced dynamic and velocity range.

That being said, I have a few go to EZX packs that I use because they sound amazing in a mix. They are great for when you need something quick in a mix as what they do contain make them pretty workable in many songs.

Right-click the cymbal and select “Route Instrument microphones…”. From there you can create your own channel.

Alternatively, you can select the OH channel and adjust your bleed mixes in the property panel to the side.

You didn’t provide much details. Thus, it is hard to tell what is happening. If you are not getting audio in standalone, I would first check the Audio/MIDI settings.
