…it would be awesome if the midi file keeps its name when dragged and dropped into the DAWs drum track. Even if suggested workaround on that is okej its still lacks a flexibility as to compare and work directly with the drums in the DAW.

I totally agree with you Vaijj. It would be great to know what MIDI files have been used, as it was in Superior Drummer 2. Hopefully the developers can reuse some of the previous code base so it’s not such a tedious task to implement.

I most certainly can’t be the only one who needs to see which Toontrack fill/groove I have already used in order to select a new unused fill from the selection.

I appreciate Toontrack’s consideration of reimplementing this extremely helpful feature as I am sure many users would benefit from seeing precisely what they have already used in a song.

Thank you Henrik.

You are suggesting to place the fills/grooves in the SD3 Song Track as a temporary holding place. So, if I had 50 fills in my DAW track, I would then have to right click on all 50 of them individually to see which ones I’ve used, and by the time I get to the 50th one know by memory the previous 49 I have looked at.

That is completely asinine.

Can I please communicate with a developer?

Quite frankly this cripples the fast and productive workflow of being able to drag numerous fills onto the DAW drum track and at a glance be able to see what fills have and have not been used.

Bad decision to have all regions named anything other than how they are named in the SD3 Grooves. YOU CANNOT KEEP TRACK OF WHAT HAS BEEN USED!

Superior Drummer 2:
1. Drag Groove/Fill into DAW Track
2. Look at Region Name to Determine what Has Been Used
3. Repeat hundreds of times (quickly)

Superior Drummer 3 (your convoluted workflow suggestion):
1. Drag Groove/Fill into Song Track
2. Right click on region in Song Track
3. Browser Window Opens Up
4. Drag MIDI file into DAW
5. Repeat hundreds of times

I can’t even believe you would suggest such a convoluted workflow.

That is a convoluted workflow you are suggesting. And that is not a solution as the regions in the DAW drum track are still named “MIDI Region” which makes it impossible to keep track of what grooves/fills have been used from Superior.

Using the Song track is not an option at all, as the fills I drag from Superior into the DAW track are combined with drum parts/beats that don’t come from Superior. BTW, the regions in the SD3 song track do not display the precise name either, thus making it impossible to know which grooves/fills have been used.

THE SOLUTION:
The only solution is to have the developers reimplement the regions to be named as they are found in Superior.
