Lol… ya’ll are pretty hung up on the KBM which was at best an aside.

My keyboard, mouse, and trackpad are all wireless. I can take them all over the studio.

it sounds more like you have a Wi-Fi issue because sidecar runs flawlessly in my studio. And, like I said before, remoting in with an old Mac using screen share has no lag in performance.

Logic Pro X & Studio One are DAWs. Superior Drummer is an instrument that runs under it. Even if it were possible under the sandbox rules, ToonTrack has better things to put in as there are numerous ways to access Superior Drummer remotely as it is.

Yep, I’m aware of what a DAW is and that Superior Drummer is not one. That being said, it runs in standalone which is generally how I use it when practicing and building kits. When I’m ready to record, I load it in a DAW and load my presets. Don’t see a reason to open a DAW and load it for those purposes. Everyones work flow is different. It makes about as much sense to debate as the best color.

TotalMix is not a DAW either, but has a helpful remote app. Maybe the devs at Toontrack have better things to do, maybe they don’t… their backlog isn’t public as far as I can tell.

I’m more referring to running cables to a separate monitor: one for power and one for video. Or one cable if you can find a decent USB-C powered portable monitor.

Do people still used wired keyboard and mouses still? Regardless, still a hassle to move them which is why a touchscreen would be preferable. The KBM was a minor point.

Sometimes Sidecar works reliable. Other times, it freezes after a few minutes and I have restart it.

At any rate, I think the user experience is pretty solid with RME TotalMix Remote, Logic Remote, Studio One RC, etc. Something along those lines for SD3 would be great.. IMO.

Just curious, in your example, is there a way to set it up so that when you collapse Sum 5, Aux 7-15 are collapsed into it as well?

The enclosed screenshot would mainly show how nested track stacking works in this case. You will notice SD3 is sitting inside the nested stack. The last four aux channels are grabbing either the left or right channel of the stereo bus.

Thanks! I think that got me straightened out.

I setup like the following and it seems like it works as expected, well at least panning works, but maybe I’m overlooking something.

One other way to do this as well is by using track stacking. Recent logic updates allow you to nest track stacks, so that you can hide SD3’s outputs, and use the mono outputs in the track stack by routing SD3’s aux outs to their own bus and use the upper aux track to select the left or right channel. You can then save your entire track stack as a patch within logic. This will also save SD3’s output routing. This way, not only do you have mono outputs, but you also have a stem to work with at the end. You can also hide the nested SD3 outputs

Do you have a screenshot, sample project, or resource you could point me to visualize and figure this out? Been messing with it for a few hours and can’t seem to implement it as described. Doesn’t help I’m just learning Logic after taking like 20 years off from writing music. I’ll keep messing with it and post pics of where my road blocks are.

For example, how I’m visualizing it is that you have:

Summing Track 1
- Aux 1 L
- Aux 2 R
- Aux 3/4 Stereo
- ...
- Summing Track 2
-- Sup 1/2
-- Sup 3/4
-- Sup 4/5
-- Sup 6/7
-- ...

I guess the issue I’m running into is getting Sup 1/2 -> Aux 1  L & Aux 2 R… rereading your post, it sounds like under Summing Track 2 there would be a stereo bus that can then be routed to Aux 1 L and Aux 2 R…. Sup 1/2 -> Bus 1/2 -> Aux 1 L & Aux 2 R.

Thanks for the suggestion on the TD11 and TD15. It looks like I would be limited on adding more cymbals given the one aux input. I am coming to the conclusion that the TD12 you suggested is probably the best match for me. Now I just need to figure out if is cheaper to buy the individual electronic drums, or grab a Hart Studio Master 5.3.

[strumpystrudel]

Well, after doing research while waiting for a response, I have narrowed down what I do and don’t need; what models will and will not work for me.

The DM10 was sounding pretty attractive until a few minutes ago when read that you can only cymbal choke on Crash1 and Ride. The Yamaha IIS and III seem to have the same issue. I’d like to be able cymbal choke ride, 3 crashes. Also, I would like have three zone ride even if it means dropping one of the 4th tom. It seems like the cheaper Roland models that take a three-zone ride, don’t have a fourth tom.

So I guess the question is: what modules allow for cymbal choking on four-inputs?

Ish
