Is it really necessary to upgrade to EZD3 if I have Superior Drummer 3? What would be the advantage of the upgrade? I very rarely use EZD2 after I got Superior Drummer 3.

this is the way

but if you do use EZD sometimes, it makes sense to get the latest unless it’s so rarely used then i’d skip the EZD upgrade, as you already own the upgrade

some research – wasn’t just not using the Leslie… more often just the vibrato and chorus + the Marshall amp

It was a Gibson Maestro Ring Modulator taped to the Hammond. The audio was taken from the organ’s AO-28 preamp connected to one “G” terminal and Ground and plugged into the Maestro, then that audio was sent to separate amps and Marshall stacks, NOT the Leslie. The organ audio was split to the Leslie so Jon could mix but he liked the straight, non Leslie rotary sound for heavy distortion. Without that same Hammond AO-28 tube preamp audio source, and tube amps, you won’t get the same distorted sound. Hammond XK-3, SX series, VST, or other clone simulations and solid state preamp/amps don’t produce the same analog audio. I have tied in many Hammond preamps to every type of effect. Jon adjusted the Maestro controls each time he set it up based on the specific amp and speakers it was connected to at that moment.

Don Airey used a Moog ring modulator, called a Moogerfooger so that may be a better option. There are many ways to get a similar sound today, but the audio input is key.

sound good. hopefully a bunch of that isn’t simply played live demos and all those articulations are available (like the key slurring and slides for example).

yeah, having a couple of bays is good. at the moment i just have individual drives and some of my CAD/rendering + my DAW “like” dedicated paths to each of the 3 main drives. so likely could could connect the SD3 as a “content” disk to my USB3.2 hub. now that you’ve planted that idea worm, i’ll need to check out some disk bay products. OWC comes to mind but there are likely others…

not a problem with monies, more of how to connect a 7th disk drive (factoring in my 3 SSD, plus 2 USB sticks and the iLok…)   once i get back to a desktop or decide to build my NAS device, for now — totally agree the EZD 3 is fine for me as i have several other sources for the playing the MIDI output as well (Slate and XLN products)

makes sense to ship an SSD given 230GB of samples one of the reasons i don’t upgrade is i need another disk just for SD3

could be a bug – several products i use or have use sometimes make choices WRT the key and presume enharmonic when they are not (necessarily at least).

very likely, like a lot of companies, the downloads are set to a quota / throttle per user or per connection. even with file hosting on Amazon etc, most people paying for the network usage will limit it. now sometimes computers can be clever and open multiple connections which can give the appearance of initially faster downloads, but it’s also likely that intelligent networks can ultimately identify a single requestor source and converge those under the quota. in most cases, a faster computer will work better because it can handle more of the internal home/office connection speeds and process the file onto the hard disks.

this is done for basically two reasons – everyone gets equal performance (good or bad is in the eyes of the beholder…) and money. if the network or file hosting service charges for usage (and most do) then massive fast downloads can become seriously expensive for the company…

yes, templating instruments (and DAW) is a great way to enable a consistent, high quality, flexible, and speedy workflow. the downside, you have to commit to spending the time to get it set up.

nice work Andrew!

if you right click on the MIDI and use Find, you may be able to identify the source. it would be a nice feature that so when the clip is not edited, that it would link back to its source… one habit i’ve been using is to mark it as a favorite once i feel that it’s a likely candidate. and clean up later if that is the final selection (after trying it in the mix and feeling like that is how i will publish it).

and another option (i have only the core w/ 3 sets) but if you have your set selected, then in cymbal selection, pick another set, you might have an option which is “close enough” for that cymbal to be a “ride”. in attached i have the “main room” set selected but in the cymbal for crash4 i have the bright room selected and picked the 24″ paiste with the bow articulation and it sounds close to an open ringing ride.

but yes – they should have it similar to the toms – any cymbal in any cymbal position.

another option is to load the audio of a cymbal – although it might not be per articulation – from another source. so if you only need a tip on ride (e.g. a 24″) and you have  the audio of a 24″ tip played ride, then you could add that audio for that cymbal.

+1 on the suggestion. i wonder though what it would take in terms of articulations since organ playing is very much a different art than percussive keyboards (piano, e piano, harpsichord, clave etc).

in Cakewalk, the plugin has a keyboard icon on the upper right which allows to send only keystrokes to the plugin (or not – the default). this way if your plugin has hot keys which mimic the DAW, you can simply click to enable it and then all your hots for the plugin will be only for the plugin. just need to remember to turn it off when you’re done

it may be your DAW has something similar on the plugin UI or specific instance settings.

yeah, most DAW also have the option to set the overall base MIDI note (e.g. C1, C2, C0, etc) and/or have a transpose function in the MIDI track controls so you don’t need to change the MIDI clip itself.
