After a lot of toying with the program I found that is all a matter of mixing volumes. With AD2 the range of difference between the volume of the music and the drums can be big and it still sounds integrated. With SD, this gap narrows, but once you learn to fit the drum volume in this sweet spot, it all clicks. And then, it is a matter of toying mixing, processing etc that I am finding really fun and fascinating. I managed to create a setting for a song that it is way way superior than what I had in AD.

Lot´s of learning still tho, but I am hooked now. Thx!

I don´t necessarily want to emulate the original sound of the drums on the song. I want them to sit well on the song and this happens naturally with AD2, but with SD3 I don´t have that feeling. thx

I use both processed and not processed and both sound ¨dettached¨in a way AD2 does not. I guess this software needs much more toying around than AD2..that´s fine, I will learn. Just wanted to make sure I was not doing something wrong. thx

Thanks a lot!

finally I decided to fix the whole thing by doing something I should have done a long time ago, buying a new computer for my hobby’s and leave my work computer alone with all this nonsense. Now it works like a charm and I can focus on all the other 9028226263 questions I have about all this.

 

Thanks!

Seems that I figured this one out already. I was changing the midi map on the keyboard and/or making it lean etc and yu just need to change the instrument piece and save…dammit 😀

some pressets go up to 1K, 2K MB and are fine, but once pressets start to go up to 6K 7K then it all starts to crackle and fail etc. so yeah, I guess it’s that

 

A 16 or 18 RAM would fine then I guess?

 

thx

Regarding this, I am not being succesful.

 

I save the mapping, I save the preset and when I go back, nothing I changed sticks.

 

I even tried to asign the same notes I have from my Roland module and it does not stick :__(

Ok, let’s start over.

my knowledge of computer audio is close to zero. I been using addictive drums for playing with my e-kit and recording drums and making covers, for my own pleasure. I have no intention on becoming a profesional musician or anything but I decided to upgrade and I purchased AD3 after reading about its possibilities.

So right now I have the computer I mentioned, I have a Roland Td50x Kit and SD3. No audio interface. That’s all I have and clearly does not seem to be enough.

 

My main question is: It is mandatory for me, in order to be able to use SD3, to get a computer with more RAM than 8GB? Or, as the SD3 website and manual etc. says, with a 8GB is enough? If it is enough, why I am having problems? Would an audio interface, like a focusrite scarlett or something like that work?

Thanks again, sincerely. let’s be friends 😀

I 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.

“What are buffer settings for audio”?  I have no idea (I am really new to this SD3 thing.

Audio I/O : Again, no idea 😀

It 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

I am not in front of my SD3 now, but I would swear I did it already and it kept not sticking. I saved a new preset Roland50x”Myname” and then, changed to another kit, loaded my preset and I still had to modify some mappings….anyway, I will try tonight again. Thanks!
