Cheers Jordan, loopback might work for me (or BlackHole)

Jordan, the explanation of a software instrument within a wrapper makes sense. There are plenty of drummers using SD3 solely with electronic kits and not going anywhere near a DAW (in fact, there’s direct support for ekits in the SD3 wrapper application) but if there’s a risk of things breaking on core audio updates then that is fair. Apps like Roon have a more frequent update schedule so I guess they might handle such concerns that way.

I suppose another option is to either

• use the built in soundcard (onboard) for the mac for system sounds, and assign the external audio interface exclusively to SD3
• buy a second external interface that is solely for SD3

Jack, I did reply to that question – “however, yes, the idea is that other applications cannot output audio whilst SD3 is doing so”.

Jordan, there are other applications that can do this, such as Roon.

However, yes, the idea is that other applications cannot output audio whilst SD3 is doing so.

Jack – where would one do that? I’ve looked around in settings, and done some googling, and without installing third-party software I don’t see a way to effectively “mute” all apps other than SD3. Even doing so with a third-party app is a pain to do so and then restore when done.

I’m getting this error when installing on a new machine, and the above workaround doesn’t help.

I also tried deleting the download and restarting.

Is there something else I can do?

Thanks Olof – I’d missed a folder when manually removing EZ2 demo. User error!
