how do SD3 and EZdrummer 3 compare, CPU wise?

is there even a reason now to have superior drummer instead of EZD3?

[tendingtropic]

has this ever been updated?

[tendingtropic]

any updates on this 2 years later? wondering what the best SD3 kit / pack is for lo-fi and electronic ambient music

[tendingtropic]

ok sample import is always possible ofcourse. but I understand there is no officially supported ‘pack’ or preset?

Tnx jord, what do you mean with using the audiomonitoring on the Apollo? couldn’t I do just something like that on my RME fireface? how?

[tendingtropic]

Thanks again for all the info. @Scott, I think I understand what you mean (i’d have to select the same kit in standalone and vst version, and then monitor on the standalone, to spare the recources/latency within the DAW.

However I also agree with Jord. Just to be clear Jord: you use buffer size of 1024??? whats your latency according to logic? must be >5ms?

Anyways,

its not really about the delay, cause 3,8ms is fine as latency, but its the crackles i hear at lower buffer sizes. This is probably a CPU thing?.

[tendingtropic]

Sounds great!

only worry: how to make it so that the recording in the daw starts exaxtly at the same time as the standalone version?

i know what i could do is bounce the project with a click track and play that as mp3 and record to that in the standalone and later import that in the daw. Its just such a hassle..

Hi there scott, thanks for the reply,

interesting thought, what would the benefit be of running both simultaneously?

[tendingtropic]

Thanks for the quick reply!

interesting you have the same experience with the standalone performing better than the plugin in a DAW.

 

its a pity though, because I’d like to be able to record my drums within the DAW (as I can also listen to the rest of the project while recording).

You think its a CPU thing? are there ways to optimize the settings in SD3 and logic to make things optimal?

 

Thanks!

Thanks Mark,

I agree, TD-30 is just about workable in standalone version, but good to hear that adding an audio interface is expected to improve latency

[tendingtropic]

thanks for your answer Jord, would the focusrite scarlett 3rd gen be a good idea for this?

[tendingtropic]

I believe the new decades expansion kit has some nice presets to build upon (with an 80s kit).

its basically a lot of (gated) reverb, there are some youtube tutorials on how to make the 80s sound within superior drummer.

this one is nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9cwh5cfC8Q

what do you think?

Thank you! I think i prefer your first method too.

Thanks again!

[tendingtropic]
