Or, am I forever and ever stuck with the 2 computers I originally installed SD3 on?
Please advise – thanks – Richard  

No, you are not ‘stuck’. You can remove an authorization from a computer and authorize its replacement.
Toontrack allows you do this yourself for up to 4 authorizations
after which you need only ask them to ‘do a reset’ to reopen your unused authorization slots.

i just purchased SP3 but i cant use it yet due to disabled product lines in PM.

i need toontrack solo but all other product lines are grayed out except superior line…. so i cant select them.
hence i can never download toontrack since its not on the web.
pls advice.
regards  

I’m not sure why you think that you need Toontrack Solo.
Toontrack Solo was useful for EZDrummer1 and SuperiorDrummer2 customers playing e-drums live.

SuperiorDrummer3 customers can use it in standalone mode and therefore need no such host.
EZDrummer1 and SuperiorDrummer2 did not have standalone versions
and therefore needed a host like Toontrack Solo with which to operate.

Why should we have to upgrade for a brush jazz kit when we original users of EZD1 had it in the cocktail kit? ridiculous! NOT ALL OF US USERS ARE METAL HEADS! I want my jazz cocktail brush kit back!!! PLEASE! I just added a bunch of midi packs… Probably have $500 invested in EZ2 + Extras… COME ON!  

If you upgraded from EZDrummer1 to EZDrummer2, you still have access to your EZDrummer1 kits.
Only the plugin gets overwritten, not the libraries.

That ll be great cause this clicktrack is unusable. Its volume blows the whole show to pieces. Lowering the overal volume causes inaudible drums, might as well keep this clicktrack out of the program.

Greetings
Frans.  

Sounds like the ability to send the Click/Metronome to an output apart from the kit in Standalone mode could be welcome option as well.

How about some specifics?
What version of Pro Tools are you using? what is the BPM set to in Pro Tools?
is it a constant BPM or are there tempo changes?

What groove(s) are you dragging in from EZDrummer2? what is its BPM in EZDrummer2?

Hi. I recently got a laptop to take EZDrummer , DFH, Toontrack Solo, and EZ Player Pro wherever I want, but how do I get my saved songs from the desktop to be able to be loaded on my laptop? Im not very good with computers. Any info will be very helpful, thank you.  

There are various methods by which to transfer or share files between multiple computers.
Any method that you choose can (and should) be part of a periodic backup strategy too.
1) Cloud Storage services such as iCloud, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Carbonite, CrashPlan, etc
2) External Storage Media such USB Flash Drives, Network-Attached Storage drives, Files Servers, etc.
3) email the files to yourself (size permitting)
4) USB Transfer Cable to directly connect the two computers
5) share the files between computers on your home network (WiFi or wired), AirDrop
6) Bluetooth file transfter

How do you do that so that Superior Drummer reads the old EZ Drummer 2 files and the new ones that were on the SSD Drive? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Library Settings from the [Settings] dropdown menu:
https://www.toontrack.com/manual/superior-drummer-3/9/9-3-settings/#9-3-3-libraries-settings-tab

The Libraries Settings Tab is where you can alter, and set the installation path
to your various installed Superior Drummer Sound Libraries (SDX’s).

Browse for Library Paths: This allows you to set the path to an installed Superior Drummer Sound library (SDX) in Superior Drummer 3,
so that it appears in the Library Selection menu.
This should NOT be used for setting paths to EZX libraries (EZdrummer Sound Libraries).
Simply click this button and navigate to the SL-(library name) folder.

This option should only be used if you are attempting to link a previous existing installation
of a Superior Drummer Sound library (SDX) to Superior Drummer 3 so that it appears in the library selection menu.

Because you have purchased the Superior Drummer 3 hard drive option (where the sound library is pre installed on a hard drive),
you would connect the hard drive containing the sound library(s), launch Superior Drummer,
and use the Browse for Library Path feature to link the sound library to the Superior Drummer 3 software.

An important note: If you are installing Superior Drummer 3 on a computer that contains EZdrummer 2 or Superior Drummer 2,
there are no actions necessary for these existing sound libraries to appear in Superior Drummer 3.
They will automatically appear as available libraries in the Library selection menu.

As the MIDI grooves are generally performed & recorded by different drummers,
I’m guessing that the defining character, tone, or sound differences between two grooves played back on the same kit
would have to be the velocity of the MIDI events that create those grooves.

Realizing the many samples of each kit piece that are available for software to choose from at each velocity layer,
the explicit tonal variations could be mind-numbing.

Toontrack,
Still haven’t heard from you on this.
Thanks, Josh  

While I can’t speak for Toontrack,
I can suggest that you try posting your issue in the SuperiorDrummer3 Support area:
( https://www.toontrack.com/forum/superior-drummer-3-support/ )

I don’t know who monitors the threads here in the “Requests & Feedback” area.

edit: Whoops!! It seems that I posted just a little too late…

Thank you, yes, but as mentioned in first post – all my SATA connections are occupied.

I use 128 GB SDXC cards for cameras, two of those would suffice – or similar as usb – would be half price compared to SSD(about £50 each in small numbers).
Think optical media is cheaper each GB. 

Perhaps it’s not clear but the (optional) 256 GB solid-state drive (SSD) with USB 3.0 connector is an external drive.

The full 230GB George Massenberg SD3 library is set up for download in 5 segments
and a series of progressively larger installation options with progressively more microphones, bleed, etc.

PS. Regarding SDXC cards, you’d need a 256GB card and a card reader that supports it.
Unless you can configure multiple cards into a RAID across multiple card readers as mentioned above.

[Scott Eshleman]

With the George Massenberg SD3 library clocking in at over 230GB,
I believe the math works out to over 50 DVDs!!
A ‘wild idea’ indeed.
