Owning SD3 does not diminish the value of an EZX expansion…
The value of an EZX expansion is inherent in its sample library
and the production values ascribed to it. Certainly not “useless“.

If you find them to be “so much money for nothing“, wait for a sale.
I have bought many EZX’s on sale for just a little more than the cost of a MIDI pack.

Hello.

Just upgraded to SD3 and was watching video about Tracker while the whole thing downloads.

Can you cheat a bit with tracker and load mono/stereo file (from rehearsal room for example) and tell tracker to find specific drums?

I don’t have access to microphones and mixer but I can easily record a stereo file with my ZOOM recorder.

Has anyone tried this?

did you watch this one?

Seems as though you’ve got your hands on an older, boxed edition of this SDX expansion library,
harkening back to a time when SDX expansions were not downloadable, due to size and slower internet speeds.
They were delivered on DVD only with only a smaller ‘basic’ version available as a download.

Nowadays, dvds are not offered, for the most part (by any publisher).
Once a Toontrack product is registered to your account,
you should be able to download the full product via Product Manager.

are you sure that what you’re hearing isn’t bleed of snare in other microphones?

I was able to buy the midi pack through finding it from the web page. It still added the metal ezx pack, but it also had the midi songwriter pack.
I was able to remove the metal pack, and buy it.
Then much to my horror when I went to register the serial number it said it was already installed? WTF?
I hadn’t bought a midi drum pack before only the ezx packs.
This is bad day for your 20th birthday.

I’m pretty sure that orders made through the Toontrack webstore are automatically registered to your account.

Hi!
My studio is expanding,
and I’m looking into installing Toontrack products on more computers that can operate at the same time.
Thanks for your help!

1) What is the best option here? I’d like to start with having Toontrack EZDrummer2 on two computers running at the same time (two people working potentially simultaneously). Can I buy a second EZDrummer2 license on my account? And then run the plugins from the same account at the same time? How about if I need a third workstation running EZDrummer2 at the same time? Etc..

Your EZD2 license provides simultaneous authorization & operation on 2 computers.

If I crossgrade to Superior Drummer 3… Do I still retain the EZDrummer2 license, and then could run EZD2 and SD3 from the same account on two computers at the same time?

Yes. Likewise, you’ll end up with two (2) licenses of each EZD2 & SD3 to use as you wish.

Do I have to start a fully new Toontrack account for the second computer?

No.

[Scott Eshleman]

Absolutely.

SuperiorDrummer2 & SuperiorDrummer3 are both capable of playing EZDrummer expansion libraries.

[Scott Eshleman]

You can record the drum MIDI version of your performance
within SD3 without the use of a DAW.

So, depending upon the extent to which you intend to ‘make covers of songs‘,
you will need a DAW to record performances of other instruments (and vocals) in your cover versions.

The product is current (<em>provided you’ve applied any applicable updates</em>).
What error/issue/message are you getting?
Did you install it via the Toontrack Product Manager?
Have you installed all appropriate updates available since the full installer was released?

Hopefully, a higher buffer setting will reduce the lag for you
and that the issue is not Mojave-related.
I know of at least one (1) Pro Tools installation rendered useless/inoperable
after updating to Mojave.

2019/03/27 - macOS Mojave (10.14) is not supported with Pro Tools at this time.

“AVID has announced that Media Composer 2018.10,
Sibelius 2018.11, and the First products for the same versions of Media Composer
and Sibelius are compatible with macOS 10.14 Mojave.
All other products are not supported yet.”
Check their compatibility page for more information. (LINK)

Sure thing
1 Tb hardrive
32 GB rams (16 each)
also external drive is 4tb (where I’m putting the samples of superior drummer)

what model Mac?
what processor?
what Operating System are you running?
what version of Pro Tools?

[Scott Eshleman]

While you don’t provide specific details regarding your upgrades & changes ,
I suspect that if there is anything to review, it would be the RAM.
(Toontrack products load their samples into RAM
and only read from the disc while loading them into RAM.)

Do you experience different amounts of lag dependent upon the size of the kit loaded?
Do you have other non-DAW products running in the background too?

[Scott Eshleman]

Within the Toontrack Product Manager’s Preferences,
you can change the location to which downloads are saved.

Agreed.
Otherwise, on the web version, I believe that you can use a nickname of your choosing for the Computer ID
in the event that you have multiple computers of similar make & model, etc.

[Scott Eshleman]

What is the format of the “MIDI track” that you were sent?
is it a standard ‘.mid’ file?

This section of the online manual should help with importing into Cubase v9.5 (link)
using the settings described on this page. (link)

To import a .mid file for use in SuperiorDrummer3, either save the .mid file to your USER MIDI folder
as described in the SD3 online manual here (link), or
import the .mid file into the SD3 Song Track as described in the SD3 online manual here (link).

if not a .mid file, you’ll have to respond with more details…
