Hey guys. Not sure what resolved it, but I got it working again after recreating the entire drum chain (aux and busses etc) and copying the midi into SD3 itself and not in Protools.

If the MIDI is set in stone why not just keep the MIDI in PT and render it to audio there?

What probably isn’t helping things any is that the last few revisions of PT have had MIDI issues.

Where are your samples located? Do you have SD3 set to load everything or stream from disc? If you have the ram then use ‘load entire kit’ or whatever it’s called in SD3.

Here’s a thought: why not just render the MIDI to audio?

See this thread: https://www.toontrack.com/forums/topic/macos-ventura/

BTW you’re thread title is misleading as related to the question in your post. A search through the posts here would have provided an answer without creating a new thread.

Will the moderators please merge these two threads?

Probably not as Ventura only dropped a couple of days ago.

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!

Brian

I don’t use Cubase but the operation to route outputs in SD3 is pretty much the same in most daws. Create an audio track in your daw and set the input of that track to an output of SD3. Take care about routing mono or stereo outputs from SD3 to your daw – a mono output of SD3 would go to a the input of a mono track in the daw. Same thing for a stereo output from SD3 – that goes to a stereo audio track in the daw. Make whatever adjustments to levels necessary, record arm the audio tracks in the daw hit record in the daw and after a while you should have the audio output from SD3. Note that you may have to set an end point in your daw so the transport knows where to stop. These are generic instructions – adjust for Cubase as necessary. Basically this treats the audio outputs of SD3 lkike any other incoming audio in your daw. Or like recording the output of any other softsynth to an audio track in your daw. No fidelity loss at all.

As to the Quark thumbnail – always been a Star Trek fan since back in the original series. The only series I didn’t care for was the one with Captain Jonathan Archer (forget the series name).

Brian:

I was suggesting putting the MIDI in your daw to drive SD3; I don’t ever put MIDI in SD3. What I didn’t mention because I didn’t think it was important was getting stuff back out of SD3. I treat everything in SD3 like I would real drums and that is to NOT use the SD3 mixer as much as I can. That means each kit piece or group of kit pieces gets sent to a mixer channel without any effects and then into my daw where I use whatever effects I have there. For instance kick drum gets it’s own outputs(s)/track(s) to a track in Pro Tools. Same for snare, hihat and so on.

Or you could go into your key commands in your DAW and change “del” to Ctrl + delete or Alt + delete. That adds the safety of deleting a track in your DAW by accident while editing in your DAW and deleting Notes and tracks with “DEL” in superior drummer.

Unfortunately not all daws allow key customization.

Okay thanks!!!!

Though I couldn´t find those links, I went back into the Program Manager, and noticed something in RED saying the AU not installed!!!!

So, I clicked on the update, which gave me a new installer that opened a window saying Mac AU plugin. I clicked on that, it installed, and now everything works.

Thanks again.

Best,

DiCarlo

Glad you got it figured out. That’s the thing with some installers – one misstep or mis-selection and something doesn’t get installed particularly where you have the option of doing a custom install. That’s why I gave you the places to look – something to keep in mind for the next time a plugin goes missing. Like I said the main library folder may be hidden by default in the latest versions of MacOS (that could be why you couldn’t find them).

Make sure that SD3 has focus and NOT Logic.

Yes, of course I tried starting the computer several times. It´s still not showing up in my DAW.

First the obvious question: did you let the installer put the program and plugin in the folder the installer wanted to put them in? That’s important. Since you’re using Logic I’d imagine that it’s using au format plugins. If so here’s the path to look for the plugin:

MacHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/Components/

In here you should see this file: Superior Drummer 3.component.

For completenous sake here are the paths for VST and VST3 plugins:

MacHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST

MacHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST 3

Note that the Library folder may be hidden from view; use Google to find out how to unhide it. The Library folder referenced here is NOT the User Library folder but the main one on one’s system drive.

Why not just drive Superior Drummer from the MIDI track in your daw? That’s assuming the MIDI file is there.
