Hi Guys ,

 

Thanks for your suggestions (and sorry bout my delayed response) i ended up going down to fewer SD3 instances and so far so good!

[HARKNESS]

OK Thanks!

[HARKNESS]

Awesome Thank You Very Much !

I’m gonna max out on Ram and hope for the best(i will do the ‘Bleed’ thing too)

[HARKNESS]

Ok Thank You.

 

Do you happen to know if there are any plans for it in the near future? it would be such a useful tool for set up such as mine.

One last question re the multiple instances.

My laptop has 16 gigs of RAM but can handle up to 64gigs. Would installing maximum RAM be an immediate fix or is it not that straightforward?(i.e. with 16 gigs i can load 7 patches comfortably, with 64 gigs should I easily be able to load the other 10 patches?)

Thanks for the more detailed run down of the Cache idea, that was very clear and helpful.

I hadn’t thought of the ‘just 2 instances concept’ , that sounds particularly promising if it can work!

does anyone know how to automate drum patch changes within SD3 via Ableton Live?

(maybe this should be started as a whole new thread…)

Hi All ,

Thanks for the great feedback.

I have 16 gigs of RAM and Yes i am using an E Kit live that will trigger the sounds in SD3 so unfortunately i cant print the grooves to audio.

As far as the Cache mode goes would the ‘clicks and dropouts’ you mention happen on the first couple of play backs Each Time i open my project, or once only? I will give this a try later today (it’s 6:30 am here in Toronto)

So far i have unloaded all toms or cymbals not necessary per SD3 patch. Regarding unloading the articulations is that done simply by unchecking the boxes in the articulations drop down menu?

And as far as the restraining of the decay in the ‘Envelope and Offset’ property box , i had done just a little bit of that on a few toms here and there.In theory would pulling back the envelope even  slightly on EVERY drum/cymbal equate to less samples being used and therefore less RAM… if so do you suspect this would be a a significant or minimal improvement? Again , i will give this a try perhaps after seeing how things go using the Cache mode.

Thanks Again !!

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your previous help. Things are going pretty smoothly and i am really enjoying SD3.

I am mildly confused as to how to organize things within SD3 though. If i make a stack sound on a particular drum(layering 2 snares for example) can i save just that drum into the library, when i tried to save just the snare using the ‘user preset’/’save as’ it seemed to save the whole kit.How can i just do one single drum?

also, if i want to have a custom ‘default mixer’ set up do recommend me using the top left ‘File’/’Save As’ or the “User preset’/’Save As’ to the right- i am not sure of the difference of these 2 ‘Saving’ methods?

Thanks and apologies if i’m a Layman,

Thanks Jon ,

I got it up and running!

A new question though…I am Using SD3 with a Roland TD17 via Abelton  and will be routing the Kit separately out to the FOH Mixing Desk(in SD3 i have Kik on Output 1+2 Snr on Output 3+4 Toms Output 5+6 etc…going into Ableton, then out Ableton to the FOH via a MOTU) All is well with routing so far .

My problem is that I would really like to be able to adjust separate AMB mic amounts to each drum,  for example the smaller toms dryer while the Floor tom  significantly more wet sounding. As i see it I can only have the AMB mics on a stereo track which effects the whole kit globally.

Is there a way to creates some sort of Aux for the AMB mics so that i can dial in separate amounts per track?(more on the Snare less on the Kik etc…) I did play with the ‘Bleed’ amounts per track and heard no difference.

Also i am hoping to Automate reverb amounts on each drum too , will this be easily achieved?

Thanks!
