Jack,

Gotta say, love the Quark pic.  I am a huge Star Trek fan…all of it!  Your advice (and Mark’s) sounds like the ticket as long as there is no fidelity loss.  I don’t know yet how to route individual SD3 channels into separate Cubase tracks…but I’ll investigate.  Thanks!

Mark,

I only drop the MIDI track into SD3 in order to bounce wav. files.  Otherwise I keep the MIDI file in Cubase.  However, just as a MIDI file on a VST instrument track in Cubase I don’t have the ability to “Render in place” as I know I can with other MIDI VSTs.  I’d be very grateful if you gave me the quick pointer on how to set this up.

I really appreciate you both for taking the time!

Hi Jack,

As great as the Superior drummer mixer is for live use, my plug-ins and outboard gear are much preferred for mixing.  I want the wav. files, not the playback through Superior.

Ken,

No, the track is not quantized (try to avoid that at all costs actually).  We use a Roland TD-50 kit to play drums “for real”, but we tracked the kit with the metronome on, and we wanted a gentle accelerando throughout the piece.  The song starts at 142bpm and ends around 147ish.

John,

I have read your posts for others describing the purpose of the Follow Host button.  I thank you for taking the time yet again to help!  I assure you, it is off.  I have also tried programing the tempo manually.  I am not sure why this track doesn’t want to render in time (use error must be the cause), but if I copy the MIDI file into a new project, drag the MIDI drum file into Superior (not include tempo), program the tempo in Superior…the bounced files are perfect.  There must be something baked into the Cubase MIDI file I don’t understand.

Thank you all for your thoughts,

Brian
