I wouldn’t use Logic for live use. MainStage is a more viable alternative and it’s not expensive.

There’s always the belief that more cores equals better performance.  However, in the DAWs, not only is usually the case of one core allotted per plugin on a track, but there is also the law of diminishing returns since the cores are also busy with other plugins on other tracks.

Superior Drummer never had problems running on my old Intel units on 1 core. Definitely running smoothly on my M3. Even running far more velocity layers than I did in the past.

If you are using Superior Drummer within a DAW, you should be setting it to one core.

Funny enough since I last posted having not found a placement for R2R, I have since found a song idea where this SDX fits perfectly. With a slight modification to one of the presets in the Big Room and changing the kit it pushes the song forward. It definitely liking what this SDX adds.

I did check those demos out but not really looking to replicate Phil Collins as I don’t generally play along to his music. (don’t get me wrong, I respect him as a musician and drummer but not really what I’m after.) besides, I have at least 2 presets with that infamous gated sound. Also not really after the synsonics drum-like sound so much either. LOL

There is far more to Hitmaker than Phil Collins. Even with that particular kit, you can do a lot with it. If anything, that particular preset shows more of Superior Drummer’s capabilities beyond the kit itself.

What are your personal thoughts on drum factory and reel to reel? They both seem really good.

Indeed they are good… and once again different in the energy they bring. I have yet to use Reel to Real in a song, only because of finding how and where it will fit. I am picky that way. Again for a recent song, Drum Factory was an instant fit, and to be honest, I wasn’t really surprised given the song I was working on.

Again, this is more of a YMMV situation.
