Which channels specifically and which library? There are some libraries that have more than one type of mic on those channels.

Need more specifics. Which channels in particular? Some of them aren’t meant to be used in tandem.

Do you also have the phase button on?

Chances are your project was corrupted. Could have happened from an unexpected quit while writing.

Agreed, the Product Manager is how you should be authorizing Superior Drummer. Most likely, the serial number is already in there if you are posting to this forum.

It is recommended to use the installers to install the libraries. Sone SDXs allow you to install subsets of the libraries. As mentioned above, installing surround and bleed is not required as far as the core library goes.

There’s no need to bounce to mono. You can either set the channel to use the left or right channel, or you can narrow the width on the stereo pan control to bring everything to the center. If it’s a direct signal on both sides, it will easily fold to mono.

… Or if you have a DAW, that allows you to stack both instances and control them both with one set of MIDI.

The second version of EZ Drummer is pretty much your only viable alternative. Stacking a snare is a feature that is found in Superior Drummer.

There are plenty to choose from. My go to controllers are Novation and Arturia.

Are you referring to a MIDI controller? If so, many of the controls on them are in sets of 8 (or 9 in the case of sliders). However, some controllers, like Novation, group the controls into 4 switchable zones so you can control all of EZ Drummer mixer channels in that manner.

A lot of this is mixing 101, TBH.

I don’t understand why the ‘stack’ just doesn’t effect the same channel of the main instrument that I’m wanting to edit, instead of creating a whole new channel for it that is difficult to record?

You are confusing stacks with busses. A stack is not a single channel, but a series of channels, similar to the way you would stack audio or instruments within your DAW. If you wanted to treat the entire stack, you would want to route the channels to a bus channel where you can treat them there. However, I would rarely treat the audio of a stack uniformly because I would often be stacking something like a transient onto a another kit piece which would require its own channel treatment first before treating the combination on a bus (such as a compressor to emphasize the transient while shaping the body).

I notice that when I create a new stack, along with that a new channel is created with the default output as 1/2. I obviously if I try to record in this into Ableton, then I need to route the stack to the channel that I’d record it on? So let’s say Floor Tom Left Is 3/4

Do I change the stack to also be 3/4? When I do this, the sound changes?

This all depends on if the channel is being processed and what is processing the channel. You probably are best to route your kit pieces to buses first and work backwards, mixing wise. This will give you greater control over your sound.

You can make an alternative track and put your groove, or the entire song, in it. I often find myself working with alternative tracks keeping different ideas of the song in them.

I’m wondering why you are not using a proper audio interface to go into your FOH board. The drum brain does not make for a good interface. There are plenty of class compliant USB interfaces that are inexpensive and get the job done without all of the fuss you are going through.

You might be overthinking this. You don’t need to map every single articulation to your Maschine Mikro.  You would start with the ones that you would play 99% of the time. The Maschine Mikro is flexible in that you can map them any way you want, including mapping two pads for one articulation (I use this for snares and hats).  Not too mention that you would want to map the pads in a way that fits your playing style.

The Maschine Mikro has up to 16 pad groups which are in a sense 16 different maps that you can change on the fly to suit your playing style. In those different pad groups you can have different articulations that you are going to use.

You can also store different mapping sets for the various kits. There’s plenty you can do with the Maschine Mikro as far Superior Drummer goes.
