Here…this Mark Lewis preset (Death & Darkness -> death -> Mark Lewis) has 5 snare sounds…but although there are many articulations available, the stack of 5 is only in the center. WHY? When you play a rimshot or flam, you will only hear one of the 5 sounds, correct?
I am confused…

Thank you! It seems to work, but I don’t know why the official Toontrack presets have a center stack only. Do you know? Different snare sounds are stacked there, but only in the center…why not for rimshots, edge, flam etc.? Shouldn’t every snare that uses different snare sounds have stacks for EVERY articulation?
Or am I doing something wrong? My snare is a combination of Tama Bell Brass (Death & Darkness -> Death) and Ludwig Supraphonic from Metal Foundry.
Now I want to use this combination for every articulation. I select the Ludwig snare (marked green), then select copy and select an articulation. However, the newly created stack only has the correct articulation for the Tama Bell Brass, but not for the Ludwig…I have to right-click the Ludwig snare, then click “Search for instrument”, find the Ludwig snare again and select the correct articulation.
It only works with a couple of articulations because Metal Foundry does not have offcenter etc.

Hi!
I have a mixing question. The advantage of multiout is that you can draw a volume envelope and increase or decrease a certain part for kitpieces that have multiouts. e.g. I draw the volume envelope for the snare out and decrease the song part from 1 minute 2 seconds to 1 minute and 10 seconds by 3db.
BUT: What about bleed? The snare bleeds into the reverb and comp multiouts. Should I use the same volume envelope adjustments for the reverb/rvb and comp multiouts I used for the snare out? BUT the reverb and comp mulitouts don’t have snare hits only, but various other kitpieces bleed into them…so decreasing the volume there would also affect the volume of other kitpieces.
How can I adjust the volume of a single kitpiece, e.g. snare if it bleeds into other outputs?
Do you know what I mean?
Thanks,
Leander

Thanks! I did not solo kit pieces. I played the entire mid in SD3 and using ONE output channel vs. multiout. The hihat is an xdrum instrument.
Now I deleted every second kick and snare hit from the blast beat…now the hihat seems to sound the same.
Why are you using an xdrum for a hihat? There’s no need for that. xdrums have a totally different mic setup – wish you had told us this when you started this thread. Xdrums (as near as I know) don’t have bleed on them – at least there’s nothing showing in the SD3 mixer. Use multiout and the regular hihat.
I’ve actually posted a couple of times that I have an xdrum hihat. 🙂 I am aware that it might have gotten lost as I write a lot. 🙂
My kit uses Death & Darkness -> death as the preset with some tweaks and xdrums. I grew up with Guitar Pro 3 and 4 and have used the GM instruments ever since…with 6 toms and two ride cymbals…one ride is panned to the left, one to the right.
I use two hihats (explained in one of my first posts) because a real drummer has to manually change open to closed or vice versa…and playing doublekick while playing a pattern with open AND closed hihats is not possible…but I like it… e.g. doublekick with blast parts and a closed hihat, but open accents here and there all while continuing the doublekick playing. Therefore, the regular hihat is used for many parts with open articulations, closed articulations, pedal work etc… like a real drummer would play. However, the second hihat is always closed…and is next to the first hihat in a virtual room. The always closed hihat is an xdrum and only used in blast parts…like in my example.
This is my kit:
The xdrum hihat goes into the regular HH channel, just like the normal hihat.
The xdrum ride goes has the same effects in its channel, then goes into the OH bus just like the regular ride.
The xdrum tom used as the highest tom has the same effects etc. as the other toms…
All xdrums copy the settings of the regular kitpieces.
When playing back a midi file with the whole SD3 plugin sitting in one track with out 1&2 it sounds like the first example.
The second part of each of the two examples uses multiout…and normally, both should sound alike…but yet the second part (=multiout) in the first example sounds a bit different as if bleed etc. is missing…but the second example sounds ok…and normally, it should sound alike…but all settings are ok…so it might be a bug?
First part: SD3 in one track, out 1&2
Second part: multiout
First part: SD3 in one track, out 1&2
Second part: multiout
Should I upload my preset?
