Further to that, I have just reopened the session I was working on yesterday, and in SD3, where I had rebuild the song track, now the Find/Show in Browser option is again greyed out.
I just tried opening a new session, with no template, and instantiated SD3 and opened the saved preset of the song, and immediately the Find/Show is greyed out. I also tried import the individual track from the Logic session, and that way too it shows as unavailable.
You can have a copy of the aupreset to see if that happens on your system..
So far I have worked on 2 projects with SD3. Both featured songs built from grooves from scratch, although I tried dragging them across from EZ2 initially , and immediately found problems – stripping of part identifiers, and loss of the find/show in browser option.
In both of them there was no cutting or merging of the grooves. Some small editing in Play Style, none in Grid editor. Find/Show in Browser worked at first, but then ceased to at some point. In one of the sessions, I noticed all of the power hand assignments had randomly changed. This affects all of the grooves in the song equally. I have also had two spontaneous crash quits of Logic whilst editing in SD3 so far.
So now I tried taking the built version of the song in EZ Drummer, and dragged across a few midi parts to a track in SD3. The Find/Show in Browser is NOT greyed out, but when you select that option it doesn’t actually locate the Midi part in the groove library. Also it doesn’t retain the metadata telling it whether it is an intro/verse/chorus etc.
So, for those of us that want to take the songs we have constructed in EZ Drummer & drag them into SD3, not so good, unless of course I’m the only one with this issue?
But more concerning is the issue of songs built directly in SD3 loosing the metadata reference. I’m also seeing some strange behaviour like reassignment of power hand in the part without me doing it.
Nope, happening again in another session. Really don’t want to have to rebuild the track again in another instantiation of SD3. I will try dragging it across into EZ to see if it can locate the midi, or see whether the metadata itself has been corrupted.
Actually, I re-instantiated the plugin, and that seemed to do the trick. I have some other weird issues though atm.. I will create another thread for them!
