Hi Brad
Thanks for your reply. Sounds simple but, I can’t find the sticks listed anywhere in SD3.
Could you possibly add screenshot and point to where I need to do this please? I need to see what you’re referring to. I have tried highlighting the sticks notes in the logic editor but that offers nothing and, in the SD3 app itself there is no mention of them, other than showing their note location in the midi map.
Thanks,
Rick
P.S. After writing my reply, I did find the option to create a new OH channel in SD3, but “sticks” is not listed as an instrument. I’m using the Nashville EZX, which includes sticks, so i don’t understand what I’m missing.

Oh and finally… if you are trying to add the Nashville EZX sticks to another SDX. Select Add Instrument from the DRUMS tab.

Click on Nashville EZX in the SDX/EZX list and sticks will show up as a “percussion” instrument type and create an X-OH channel in the mixer.

Hi Rick:

Here’s the sticks in EZX (and yes I see I mispelled Nashville):

Select More> Route Instrument Microphones.

You will see the close Mic for the sticks (at the top) is OH.

Select OH, at the bottom you will see a Create New Channel.

That will create X-OH in the mixer which you can rename to “Sticks (sorry, that’s all the files I can attach, hopefully, that get’s you on your way)

Hi All
Is there a way to MIX or EQ the sticks I found in the Nashville EZX?  I’m recording a track that required the sticks sound to actually play throughout the song, but they don’t appear in ANY of the mixer windows in EZD3 or SD3. The sound of them is too harsh for the song, so it’s not working as well as I’d like.
Any help would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Hi Rick,

Yes, in Superior Drummer 3:     control (or right) click the sticks. Select More> Route Instrument Microphones. You will see the close Mic for the sticks (at the top) is OH. Select OH, at the bottom you will see a Create New Channel. That will create X-OH in the mixer which you can rename to “Sticks” (original huh?)… and then EQ, Compress, Distort, Modulate to your hearts delight.

Hope this helps…

No, I’m not running in cached mode. I wasn’t familiar with the performance options in SD3 but I’ve had a play around and I am now.

@Brad – Before I changed any settings I exported the SD3 settings. I’ve attached the SD3 save file, zipped up.

Hi there,

It’s a head scratcher alright. Do you experience anything similar when you open the same project that you posted, in SD3 standalone?

Also, sorry no answers, only questions…. after rebooting, start Reaper and load a session that’s giving you grief, then open the Activity Monitor and see if there’s anything unusual in the CPU and Memory tabs.

Good thought Scott…. before you change anything, can you load the session in Reaper, save the SD3 state as a project (file save as).

Zip the saved file and post it here.

Here’s a video of the issue I’m experiencing – I uploaded it to YouTube. I load the project, play for a short while, then deal with the issue manually by removing and adding the plugin.
At the end of the video I go through the settings.

I haven’t been able to share on the Reaper forum yet as I still don’t have permissions to post.

Not being a Reaper user, but what happens if you change the requested block size to 128? 256? 512?

Also what amount of RAM do you have on your MBP?

Thanks Brad, I had to read the way you work a couple of times but I understand now how you do it. Still have to figure out how to sidechain the bass with the kick. Haven’t really done that before. I’m not totally satisfied with the EZ bass samples. I have the Modern, Vintage and the Session, but can’t say I’m blown away. Matter of taste… Again: thank you, it is very helpful!

Are you using just stock Avid plugins? Should be able to sidechain with the stock one.

FWIW I do the same process with Trilian from Spectrasonics or if I play bass through a combo amp or Kemper Modeller.

Hi there,

You can pick your method in Pro Tools, after being a steady user for around 18 years, I finally let the license expire. Anyway, the method I have had the best results getting a good bass “track” that can hold the bottom end down is parallel compression.  In PT I did this using 2 tracks, in Studio One I just use a splitter plugin which accomplishes the same thing. Taming the transients on one track. Clamping down on the “second” track then pushing the gain up on it to bring the quieter notes and “character” up. Then combine them, in PT within an aux track, with another compressor (or 2) glueing everything together and possibly side chained with a kick drum to let it through. I haven’t talked about EQ, as that really depends on another bunch of factors, like the mix, arrangement etc. Hopefully this provides a little help.

I really appreciate the thoughtful responses. Love SD3 and the SDXs I own — which cover a lot of ground. Most recent pickups – Stories and State of the Art – are amazing. Love the flexibility and control. Love the quality. I’ll stick with SDXs. Oh… and though I live in Starbucks’ hometown of Seattle, I drink all my coffee at home – no $8 coffees for me! 😁

Not far from me then… just across the border nearVancouver…. and yeah bought a new italian espresso machine…. stay at home shots….
