just wondering…and purely for my own information,
on what occasion(s) would someone not want SD3 to follow the host?

I agree with all of this. $200 is a steal for what you get with SD3.
I can’t believe there are people who still haven’t upgraded yet.
Do yourself a favor and just do it. You will be glad you did!  

Add my enthusiastic agreement to the discussion.
But it seems that mobile apps, the proliferation of plugins and piracy have cheapened the public perception of the value for the time,
labor and resources required to create software like a SuperiorDrummer or EZDrummer.

Putting this kind and level of drum production into the hands of the prosumer… it really is a bargain.

Think about it:
Rent a renowned, professional recording studio, like Galaxy studios in Belgium, The Warehouse in Vancouver, BC,
Atlantis Studios in Stockholm, Avatar Studios in New York City or Blackbird Studio in Nashville.

Hire a professional drummer, like Kenny Aronoff, Gene Hoglan (Strapping Young Lad, Testament) or Tomas Haake (Meshuggah).

Hire a legendary and/or in-demand producer, like George Massenburg, Bob Rock, Andy Sneap, Neil Dorfsman, or Forrester Savell.

Hire an engineer & a tech or 2. Maybe even a drum tech.

Rent 4, 5, 6, or 7 drum kits and their various accessories.
and that’s just to make the samples!
Just watch any of “the Making of….” videos (some linked below).

Then think about the programming done to create all of the different modules and functionality in the software to manipulate & play those samples…

out of disk space, maybe ?

Does Cubase have a resource for opening a session without plugins in an ‘Active’ state, like Pro Tools does?

[Scott Eshleman]

do you have SD3 open while attempting to update it?

Please check your “Library Settings”.
It sounds as though you need to point the new installation on the new computer to your external drive.

If you could simply drag the chord notes into the DAW, this would be a great work simplification for me!
Technically, dragging and dropping chords can’t be that difficult?
 

You can…if your DAW allows it.

In the Preferences of the Product Manager,
you are afforded the opportunity to change the location where your downloads will be saved.
This can be any location of your choice, on an internal or external storage device.

EDIT: OOPS!! I see that you’ve added a follow up to your initial post.

Thank you. Is there any particular action that’s causing this problem that I should avoid until there is an update?

or record them using a MIDI controller of some kind,
or an e-drumkit.

I have to agree that is seems to be a Pro Tools issue.
I sometimes have the issue in PT12 but never have it in Logic Pro X, Cubase or Mixbus32C on the same machine.

It’s been discussed on this forum as well:

without more info about your specific hardware and particularly, your OS,
I’ll point you to these other forum posts that may offer some direction:
