drumjack52What’s your operating system? Different things to look at depending if you’re on a Mac or Windows machine.

drumjack52Go to the Product Manager and click on the Superior Drummer Library Part 1 – Basic Sound Library. Click on ‘Download’ and do just like you did when you first installed SD3. Sorry but there’s no easy way to find out exact library section you need to reinstall. The first thing I would check though is the drive the samples are stored on as it may have issues.

drumjack52My SD3 libraries take up 340 GB, but I only use “Death” (105 GB) + Action/Latin Percussion etc. (2.4 GB)…and one kick of Metal Foundry, one cymbal of “Darkness”…
My audio library is 650 GB in total…and I have two SSDs for audio libraries and games, but don’t want to buy another one.
You don’t need the whole stock library installed. You also don’t need the height and surround parts but I don’t know how or if you can prune them if the library is already installed. And as Jord said you can’t just pull out a single kit piece so you’re going to have to keep installed all of Death & Darkness. Just get a bigger SSD.

drumjack52SD3 and libraries are separate things. Assuming the sample files are still on your ssd you don’t have to reinstall them when re-installing the main application. You just have to tell SD3 where the files are located.

drumjack52This has been discussed here before but the answer is not really. The best you can do is to eliminate the surround and height installs but the only library I know for sure that that can be done is for the basic/stock library.

drumjack52The value I’ve marked pink. 3.3 … shouldn’t it be below 0?
I see no value showing in your mixer screenshot. Tried that same preset on my system with max velocity and couldn’t even come near to overload or excess level. This is in standalone mode. Did you change any of the mixer levels? As long as a signal is still in the box you can light up an overload indicator with no real problem.

drumjack52Where are you seeing that things are too loud? I don’t see anything in your screenshot that says so.

drumjack52What I’d like to recommend is to get the MIDI utility MIDI-OX and run it in standalone mode. This will tell you exactly what the drum brain is sending in the way of MIDI messages. This will at least give a handle on where the problem is – whether it be in the brain or elsewheres. And for those on Macs the utility would be snoize.

drumjack52Doesn’t look blurred to me. Even if it was it’s not a fault of SD3.

drumjack52What do you mean that the graphics are unreadable? Your screenshot looks perfectly fine to me.

drumjack52I really appreciate your time and patience but clearly you are not enjoying this conversation and I am not enjoying your tone, so let’s leave it at it.
Best.
I hope you can understand my frustration in trying to help when I ask basic questions that any0ne familiar with computer audio should be able to answer and you answer that you have no idea. I even explained what an audio interface was and you refuse to dialog with me.

drumjack52“What are buffer settings for audio”? I have no idea (I am really new to this SD3 thing.
Audio I/O : Again, no idea 😀
1,8 GHz Intel Core i5 Double Core
Samples are on a external drive.

This is going to be difficult. Not to be insulting but how did you even get started with music on a computer if you don’t know about an audio interface or buffers? An audio interface is a box that connects to your computer to take the digital stream and convert it to audio. I’m assuming you’re not just using the audio output from the computer connected to monitor speakers or headphones.

drumjack52It has a lot of latency, it cracks and stops and starts and does not sound good and other stuff… The tesseract presset is from a third party developer. I know a macbook air is not ideal, but all other pressets sound fine enough and I dont experience this kind of problem. This tesseract presset does seem to need a lof of extra power as it is composed from 3 different libraries. thx
Okay so it IS your computer – for the most part. What are your buffer settings for audio? What are you using for audio I/O? Is this standalone or in a daw and if the latter – which daw? Is your MBA Intel or Mac silicon? Are the samples on the system drive?
