In addition, to the above. Open a ticket with Toontrack: https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-contact-support/

If you were not running in Rosetta originally, make sure you revert back to the original non-Rosetta state.

Are your Toontrack MIDI groove libraries in tact?

Hi all,

 

In Presonus Studio One, I have set the tempo of a song from an original stereo audio track. I then create a tempo track and the tempo varies (flutuates) in speed according to the changes of the tempo in the original old recording. The click track in Studio One perfectly alligns with the song audio, following any speed flutuations. I have then extracted the drums from this master track using Izotope RX. I then drag and drop the drum audio file in to Superior Drummer 3 Tracker and create the different individual drums (Kick, Snare, Hihat, Toms and Cymbals. I then export these to seperate midi files.

Whether I import the drum midi file as a whole, or each file as seperate drums, after alligning the start of the first hit with the first hit of the master song although the file looks to occupy pretty much the correct length of the song, the tempo is out with the Studio One click track (the original imported audio drums are perfectly in sync throughout the entire song). It starts pretty much OK, but then drifts out of time. I have tried all sorts in Superior Drummer, such as syncing the tempo with host and not etc. The tempo in Superior drummer looks set as 120BPM, but I don’t know if that is relevant. I can’t set it to the correct starting tempo (133), although I did try that and the file was shorter than the song after importing the midi in to S1.

Am I missing something here? I also tried quantising the files after importing into Studio One hoping it will rearrange the beats in to the correct grooves, according to the differing tempo points set by the tempo track, but it does not work. How can I make sure the tempo of the drums is correct and not altered by Superior Drummer? I would expect the extracted midi notes to appear within the file according to when they appear in the audio, thus keeping the timing correct?

Thanks,

Phil

Before dragging the MIDI into Studio One from SD3, do the tracks in SD3 play properly within the SD3 plug-in itself?

Interesting that the plug-in is at 120bpm while the session is at 133bpm, Studio One “broadcasts” the tempo so the plug-in should be set by it.

I cant find a way to edit additional snare samples loaded in my stack so they all respond to rim shots

At the moment they all play on a centre hit,  but only the main snare plays the rim shots

Please help me somebody!! 🙂

Hi there,

On the drum kit editing page: select more > Add to > (then select what articulation you want to stack additional samples on.) Image attached.

Hope this helps.

Same Problem here

Its installing any additional content (like core library and infinity grid) but then it looks like nothing happened and i can reinstall again…. Deinstalled and tried again.. nothing works

Have you installed Toontrack Product Manager? (not running it from the Toontrack website)
Have you installed EZD3 from Toontrack Product Manager?

What version of EZD3 have you installed? Have you applied all updates?

What environment are you running on, Windows, Mac? What version?

What error message are you getting?

How did you “deinstall”? What did you “deinstall”?

Is the same thing happening standalone and plug-in from a DAW?

How do I make a snare stack where I combine one snare with the “center” articulation with another snare using the “rimeshot” articulation, both triggering from the same note etc?

I just cannot figure out a way to do this for some reason; anyone care to explain how to actually do this?

Hi there,

You will create a “stack” (the more option at the top) with the Centre articulation and a Rimshot articulation from another, or the same instrument, selectable from a list on the the bottom right when you create the stack. In the example I am stacking the rimshot from a 6.5X14″ Black Beauty (SD3 Core Library) on the Centre of the 5X14″ Slingerland Radio King 50s.

Hope this helps

My guess is similar to Jord’s but it would be that the main folder: Ezdrummer3_core_library

and the actual sample libraries are separated by one called “Contents”. But that’s only my guess. I would suggest putting a ticket in with Toontrack.

FWIW I do exactly what you’re describing all the time, creating new OS partitions and pointing to existing, external drives where samples reside. So as Jord said, it’s possible just the naming has EZDrummer confused.

unfortunately I am on the road this month and unable to test this theory out.

Sorry for the delay Brad.  I was busy over the holiday week.  Thanks for uploading that.

I do hear the spikyness on some of those hits but it is very quiet there.  It seems to be more prominent with the overheads so I hear it more with the full kit.

I have heard it in toontrack presets as well as 3rd party presets and not just those snares.  Starting to think I’m crazy but chatgpt told me I’m not LOL!!!

I will try to isolate a section to demonstrate it.  Two things that I am 100% convinced of

1.  It is related to round robins because it happens on random hits with the exact same velocity
2.  The only “fix” has been rolling up the att parameter in the snare’s envelope and offset panel

Typical snare stuff is not catching it…clipping, saturation, etc…This spike happens at the very start of the hit.  Going to take a look at the waveform as well, but I don’t want to overthink it much more.  It’s kind of an “is what it is” thing I think.

To your point 1) that’s what I am looking for what is the approximate velocity and articulation?

Second thing have you tried changing the Voice and Layer settings to try and “weed” out the offending sample?

BTW I have a short runway and then I am on the road for a few weeks….
