The simple question is did you try again at a completely different time? If you did and got the same message the server might be offline for some reason.

John any word ?
I don’t think John can do any more than I did. I already gave you ideas on how to figure out where the problem really is. One of the mantras when troubleshooting is: simplify simplify simplify. Start with a basic session with SD3 and nothing else and go from there adding bits and bobs and see where it barfs.
I’ve asked this many times and you haven’t answered it: have you posted about this on the DUC? Also have you really tried the track preset I posted? I gave you info on how to use it with a couple of links.

That’s weird Deff is multiout and printed through pt. The virtual outputs are part of universal audio outputs they are not needed. It’s hard to explain unless you know about the Apollo twin or x units. Nothing routes there unless you set it up
the other superior drummer was there when I was trying to diagnose the problem but the plug in is off and killed it has nothing to do with the issue and is not valid in the session just didn’t delete the track(the plug in inactive
it works in a random sessions but sometimes it does not Deff a issue but again for years this method has worked something else is at fault here
That things work in other sessions and the newly created one you did for a client means (and I repeat) that it’s not a fault of SD3. And I repeat again – create a session with nothing but SD3 in it maybe using the track preset I posted here. To clarify on the track preset I posted you do NOT open it like you would a normal PT session. Do you know how to use track presets? It’s mentioned in the user’s guide aka The Manual. Here’s a link to one of many articles that describes track presets and their use: https://www.protoolstraining.com/blog-help/pro-tools-blog/tips-and-tricks/471-track-presets-in-pro-tools.html and here’s a YouTube video on track presets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVt11H07b5I
You’re going to have to deconstruct your session on your own. The simplest though is to start a new session using only the bare necessities and go from there.

the routing is straight forward example kick in 3/4( SD3) is routed to the input of kick in in protools 3/4 etc. The superior Drummer tracks in solo are the only things multi out that all have the corresponding input in protools. Unless when you open the session it didn’t save the routing in superior Ill send a screen shot to demo its so weird I made a new session for a new client and it works but the other sessions are broken…. Also virtual is probably the default routing for the UA apollo.
The session you sent did not open with SD3 in multi-out. It opened in stereo output. Then I noticed you have two instances of SD3 – why? You don’t know what the virtual outputs are? There’s something definitely wrong in this session and it isn’t the fault of SD3 if a new session works just fine.

Here you go I deleted everything but the Drums, please let me know what you find!
I’m seeing routings in the SD3 mixer that aren’t all that straightforward. What you sent is not in multi-out but in 1/2. Not to mention all the errors that kick up because of PT routings because of I/O I don’t have. Then there’s that business with virtual outputs – what’s that all about? I’m not surprised you’re having issues. Try a PT session with just SD3 and nothing else then report back what you get. Also did you try the track preset I posted?

Here’s the PT track preset I use for SD3 and Death from Death and Darkness. I use PT 2021.6.

I’d like to attach the PT track preset I use to try and help the OP but the forum s/w won’t allow the .ptxp file extension. How do I remedy that?
Reply To: Multi out issue with OH version: 3.3.6

Something has changed and I don’t think it’s SD3 related. Do you have any sidechaining going on? Your version of PT doesn’t have delay compensation on sidechaining. Using any plugins that PT can’t handle regards delay compensation? What’s your buffer size? Again you may want to mention this on the DUC if you haven’t already. You haven’t answered another question I asked and that is which library are you using in SD3?

It’s a shame we can’t multi-quote posts but here’s some thoughts:
I run SD3 in PT 2021.6 in OSX 10.13.6 no problem. I know that theoretically that that combo of PT and OSX are not blessed by Avid but it works just fine. I use multi-out in SD3 but with a twist. I created a PT track preset that has SD3’s individual tracks routed to PT aux tracks that go to a drum bus. Also in the preset I have audio tracks that get routed to that same drum bus. When I’m done working on something and I want to render the audio I change the output of all those aux tracks that are getting SD3 outputs to the corresponding audio tracks. This way I don’t have to mess about with input monitoring or having audio tracks in record ready mode.
Let me get this straight – the MIDI in PT does not show double hits right? But you’re seeing doubles in PT’s track metering? What SD3 library are you using?

What version of PT are you using? You may want to mention this over on the DUC if you haven’t already. You don’t have input monitoring on in PT by any chance? Is your MIDI coming from PT and if so check the MIDI event list for double hits or hits with a duration of zero.

Pardon me, just one last question: can I use the new SSD also for storing other data or is it preferable to use it only for Toontrack libraries?
You can use the new drive for anything. In my system I have an internal SSD that handles all my samples (Toontrack/Kontakt/UVI Falcon/etc.)

Thanked by: MuddyCan copy/paste handle that much data (couple hundred gig)? I’d just drag it over.

First of all, I apologize if this topic has already...First of all, I apologize if this topic has already been covered, but I have not found an answer in the forum or in the FAQ.
So my question: is it possible to transfer (cut or copy and paste) the contents of the original SSD Drive purchased with SD3 to a new larger SSD Drive so that I can purchase (install) new SDX expansions. I do not have a second free USB3.0 port to simply hook up a new SSD. The original SSD Drive (of only 256GB) I would use for other purposes. Thanks a lot in advance for your advice.

Not really. What you could do is if you have the space on your system drive is to temporarily transfer the data on the drive you have and then transfer it over to the new drive. Are you sure you don’t have a port you could use for the job? Like temporarily disconnect an existing connection to something?
