#NO SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3 SALE THIS YEAR SOFTWARE#
I started trouble shooting my Logic X project intending on creating 2 fresh software instrument tracks to see if it was an internal glitch in my Logic channels and my vid card tanked. I downloaded them and immediately noticed the gap in dB seemed reduced by 3dB. This morning I loaded up Toontrack downloader and there were 2 new updates for SD3. It is both audibly and visually apparent. Yet there is literally a 9 db difference in these tracks. I am, best I understand, literally using SD2 samples via SD3 GUI. This should produce 100% equal results because volumes are the same, routings are the same, samples are the same, Logic channels are the same. In SD3 I loaded the SD2 kit and loaded the SD2 preset. I duplicated the MIDI track on a new channel and loaded SD3. I have SD2 MIDI track with SD2 preset loaded.

I mention this not to brag, because I'm not a pro by a stretch, but feel I do know enough to know 'something ain't right here' and it's got me puzzled.įor example. At the same time I've used SD2 for near a decade, programmed MIDI since the 80's, drums since the Oberheim DX and digital recording since Cakewalk in the 90's. I 100% agree with Genghis in that never was there a more clear cut example of YMMV. It gives me hope that this is a resolvable quirk.
#NO SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3 SALE THIS YEAR UPGRADE#
So far this is turning out to be a feature upgrade with a sound quality downgrade for me.Īs I stated on the UAD forum I have never been more stoked to have so many people disagree with me. Not my intent to bitch and I really don't have the credentials for anyone to consider my review noteworthy but rather I am asking others for their experiences on the upgrade with the possibility that I'm just flat missing something. No doubt the SD3 engine sounds inferior even in playing the SD2 kits with the same preset and double checking that every setting on mixer panes were identical. Then I duplicated the MIDI track loaded SD2 in one track and SD3 in the other and A/B'ed them. Quite a reduction in volume, clarity and quality. I loaded Avatar kit and even loaded Dave's preset. So no problem I could obvious use the SD2 kits in SD3 and enjoy the SD2 sound with SD3 graphics and features. When I tried to either load a preset kit, or even build a custom kit, in SD3 none matched the sound we were getting in SD2. I couldn't wait to transform this SD2 work to SD3. I used this file to create a preset in SD2 which is useable in SD3. He also just purchased SD3 but had not had time to mess with it so he used our familiar SD2 with Avatar Natural kit with a couple of custom touches. I had 4 mini tunes in a medley we are working up and Dave laid down the parts. I then replay bass and other instruments to his drums and thus the project begins. He is adept with Superior and an awesome drummer and he creates an awesome MIDI drum tracks using his Roland kit. I lay down loops and ideas to songs, rough draft guitar and bass parts and send off to my drummer friend in Dallas. with all the kits included and all the super pro engineers involved this result is close to laughable. Which, by the way, are nice capabilities but. I was able to 'build' a couple of ok kits blending drums from one kit to another and opening up the room mics just a shade. High on a kit someone dug out of his brothers closet. Like I walked into some garage band from Jr. To me 90%+ of these drum kits and presets sound like absolute crap. A cold not fuzzy feeling kind of crept it's way in. I then started cruising thru the drum kits and presets. I got used to it in EZ Drummer and it's great they incorporated it into the new build. Tap to find is a fantastic feature for guitarist structuring songs. The mixer, especially due to resizable windows, seems useable for the first time.

On the plus side the new GUI is pleasing to me. I spent 4 days downloading entire package and started cruising thru the drums and features. After what seems to be over a decade with SD2 I looked forward to the new GUI and technology they had to have amassed since the inception of SD2. Not feeling the love yet for Superior Drummer 3.
