Once upon a time I believe that when a customer registered their product,
they were automatically granted access to that product’s support forum. (if it wasn’t automatic, there was a very fast turnaround)

That said, if you are not a registered owner of SD3,
you’ll probably want to search/read the threads and post your questions in the SD3 Pre-Sales forum.

If you are a registered owner of SD3, please contact Toontrack Support directly by going to the FAQ
and click the ‘Contact Support’ button at the bottom of each FAQ page to request access to the SD3 Support Forum:

There is a “Print or Save as PDF…” link in the sidebar of the SD3 online manual:

There’s almost no way to know what went wrong (if anything) without any discussion of the steps that you took before,
durung or after you “started to record in Logic X”. You’ve asked a very broad-spectrum general question.

Did you record-enable the tracks in Logic?
Did you record-enable the song-tracks in EZDrummer2 and/or EZKeys?

My other issue is the size of the program. 230 Gigs. My main DAW computer sports a 500 gig SSD drive and my edrum laptop that i use to play and record my edrums only has a 250gig SSD. I see there is an option to buy the program or sound library (???) on an SSD for an extra $200. Can i use this as an external HD to go back and forth between my PC and laptop? I currently have and need SD2 on both and would want the same setup if i upgrade.
Any previous SD2 users who upgraded to 3 want to share their experience? Is it worth it to upgrade given my situation?
Thanks alot!  

I can’t speak to your questions about e-drums, but regarding the optional SSD,
it CAN be used as an external HD to go back and forth between your PC and laptop.

And as far as the 230GB SD3 sound library, you do not have to install the entire 230GB.
The library is constructed in such a way that you can download & install it in increments.
I believe that there are a few other threads that address some of these particulars…

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
