Hi,

A part dragged to the DAW, as above, now is coming over as ‘Track 0″,  not even “Verse”, let alone “Verse 4”.

Hi,

As of SD3  3.2.4  (and Ableton Live 11) part names dragged from the SD3 Song Track into a clip slot, or into the arranger, come over named simply as ‘Track 0’.

We seem to have gone backwards somewhere along the line!

For me, this is a big deal.

Thank you Henrik.   I appreciate the assist.

To further my question, after I’ve done the above (incomplete as it is) I have an asterisk after the kit name, like so:

‘Indie Rock Room*’

This indicates a changed kit, yes?

So, do I understand correctly that doing a Kit ‘Save As’   (see pic) will allow me to rename my new kit as, say, “Indie Rock Room Tamb01” without messing up the original, whereas if I wanted to change the default “Indie Rock Room” forever then I would do ‘Save As’ to (exactly) “Indie Rock Room”?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply!

I added the Cowbell via  ‘Add Instrument’ in the upper left corner.

Then I opened what I think is MIDI mapping property box you refer to.   (Actually, I had gotten this far already.)

However, I do not know how to change the assignment of note 56, which is currently Cymbal 3: Mute Hit to be the Cowbell instead.   This is where I need more specific instructions to get over the hurdle!

Or, maybe I’m indeed in the wrong place (?)

Picture attached.   Thanks!

Thank you for your reply!

It seems this was one of those gremlin-like things that happen with computers from time-to-time – this behavior is no longer manifesting.

Alternately, if all those sections named simply ‘Verse’ were actually named ‘Verse 1’, ‘Verse 2’ etc. (assuming they are in fact different) in the visible (and exported) name, SD3 could itself internally choose to ignore the ‘ 1’, ‘ 2’ etc. and still “magically know” that a verse is a verse, a chorus is a chorus etc. for substitution purposes in the Song Creator.

– if you drag from the Grooves tab – the name will be the path to the groove, so you can retrace it
– if you drag from the song track – the name will be the song part you have assigned. Have you marked it as a Chorus, it will be named accordingly.

I’ve been an SD3 user now for awhile, and I confirm the above dragging from SD3 into Ableton Live.

It’s very cool that we can drag one section of a track and have the section name transfer, while dragging more than one section causes the track name to transfer.   I like that alot!

One additional thing that I would find helpful is if Song Structure names and Track names could go most simply back and forth when desired.

For example, in the picture attached, I’ve dragged the Song Structure named ‘VC VC B VV 01e’ into a track, which is still named ‘Track 2’.   You can see in the picture that the Song Structure remains highlighted, and the Track 2 tab remains selected.

So, I suggest that right-clicking on a specific Song Structure offer on option to send that name to become the currently highlighted track name.   And vice-versa, right-clicking on a specific track name could offer on option to send that name to become the currently highlighted Song Structure name.

Along the same line, ‘Save Track as Structure’ could be joined by a second command ‘Save Track as Structure with Name’.

You can grok that I’m trying to work with a meaningful Song Structure naming convention, and I’d like to be able to propagate those names, both within SD3 and when exporting to the DAW, without having to retype them or explictly do a long error-prone edit-copy-paste dance.

Thank you for your consideration, and Happy Near Year!

We will change this in a coming update to better reflect the origin of the groove though:
– if you drag from the Grooves tab – the name will be the path to the groove, so you can retrace it
– if you drag from the song track – the name will be the song part you have assigned. Have you marked it as a Chorus, it will be named accordingly.

 

Hi,

Has the above happened yet?

[sj1]

Thanks Henrik!

[sj1]

I’d appreciate that, as I don’t have SD3 to check it with. This is a pre-sale question.

[sj1]

Good info, thanks!

Can you tell me further though, if I *do* drag them one-by-one, will the names retain?
