Hi Billy, It’s Billy!
I use Logic Pro X but I noticed something similar. I have a song with a tempo change. When I click play in the DAW, with Follow Host selected in SD3, everything drum-wise sounds/plays like it should when the tempo shifts. However, nothing visually changes (tempo-wise) in SD3 during those parts. By playing the song’s drums just in SD3, my tempo stays constant throughout (even though Follow Host) is selected. From an O.C.D. standpoint, that is really annoying!
What I usually do is manually ‘edit tempo’ within SD3 to mimic the DAW which is basically just duplicating the work. In your case, you’d have to ‘edit time signature’ to mimic what you have the DAW doing. There might be another workaround (an automatic one) but I haven’t found it, either.
Ultimately, I make my tempo & time signature shifts in the DAW & play/stop from the DAW. Before finally saving the drum midi, though, I manually make things match the song at the end of the song process.
I’m not sure that I have helped ya but I didn’t want to leave another Billy feeling like he’s alone in the issue.
I have the same dilemma/temptation! I use Logic & have screwed-up my templates going back & forth. Frustrating! All I can tell you is that, from my personal experience, I can’t get the individual drum tracks sounding better with multi-out & UA plug-ins.
It’s vexing, though, because multi-out has been engineered so that you could do exactly that. I saw someone mix everything in SD3 but just put the snare out to a separate track. I tried that, too, & then the snare ended up sounding like an unnatural sample.
I’ve gone back to mixing the drums in SD3 using the simple stereo out, & then instantiating the UA Fairchild 670, in a general (light) sense, on the whole track in Logic.
If someone can offer a specific breakthrough with multi-out, I’d love to know, too. Great question!!
