Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@Emilio Langston thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I recently bought a relatively cheap mesh head drum kit. Never used the on board sounds, instead bought SD3 and built my Pearl kit in there. Going to record an album. This software is great, especially in times like these.
Man, this was an INCREDIBLE tutorial! I'm already pretty familiar with many of the features available on Superior D3, but this put them all together in a concise, easy-to-understand video! Bookmarking for future reference, thank you SO MUCH for this EXCELLENT walk thorough David!!!
I thought I was impressed with SD3 enough already but noooo ... NOW I'm impressed haha! :D And I already own it but have just scratched the surface apparently. Toontrack should be grateful for this video ... Now back to learning this thing properly. This video is a great start.
Great video David ! Probably the best I saw on SD3 tracker by far and super mixing skills always shown with great teaching capability ! Your channel is pure gold
What a great tutorial. I never knew you could do this with SD3. I’ve been using mesh heads and triggers on my acoustic kit and never liked the feel of it. Now I’ve got the real heads back on and miked and what a world of difference. I can even blend some of the acoustic elements missing on the snare especially. Thanks so much for the lesson.
I already own Ezdrummer 2 but holy moly this one is really superior. And as always thank you David for such a good in-depth tutorial on this wonderful product!
So you could do this JUST for the kick mic? Then send it out to an aux in Pro Tools and mix it on the aux track with Slate stuff? Does SD3 fidle with the bpm, or does it just place the midi points to where the wave file transients was, and leave the bpm alone?
Great video! (As usual, David’s vids are always great). A question for anyone who would care to answer: I’m mixing a 10 song project where the band played a live venue, and recorded all instruments/vocals to individual tracks on a DAW. The raw drum tracks sound pretty bad - examples of this, is the snare is very thin (sounds like sleet hitting a window, LOL) and the overheads are weak in level, yet harsh in tone, and all the drum tracks suffer from a LOT of bleed as well. So, I’m trying to decide between Superior 3 and Drumagog as the best way to go for drum replacement (FWIW, Slate Trigger isn’t an option, as it doesn’t have hi hats, rides or crash cymbals). Superior 3 and Drumagog are similar in price, so that’s not a factor. I’d be grateful for ANY thoughts, opinions, suggestions about either program, and which would be the better choice. Thanks! 😊🙏
Do you must to have separate drums audio tracks to SD3 for Convert it all..? If I have all the drum recorded in only 1 track...? Will the SD3 will still be able to convert...?
My first comment on this vid was a question about un-sync'd hits. I found a workaround, in spite of the lack of info on Toontrack forum, but it was so annoying, I didn't watch the rest of the vid. I knew, however, there was tons of functionality with SD3 and this really just emphasises that fact. It is f'kin incredible. Note that you already set up your subs on the mixer page. I've just poked my toe in the water with SD3, but have a little background from EZD1 a few years back, I know a little bit more about mixing now, but this SD3 is more like a DAW within a DAW and so deep, I'm going to have to come back here for more as I go deeper in. Good shit, David. Just one thing, how can you mix in context?
Hi, Great vid! When I drop the drum files on tracker I notice that they do not sync with the original drums. They seem to star late. What might be causing this?
Don't know if you can help. Following this vid, everything was easy enough, until I hit play in my DAW and the replacement kick was out of sync with the song. Have posted a topic to Toontrack forum, but I'll ask anyone. Sounds the correct tempo, but is offset, any idea?
Ah yeah it happened to me too a couple of times, I don't remember how I solved it tho'. Check the sync functions, check if you're playing the real time track or you dragged the midi file in the song composer, restart.. I wish I remember
David please show us how to quantize perfect in superior 3 right on click track!!!!!!!!!! Please help with this, you mentioned it that it was possible but didn’t show it
My struggle is, how can I save the individual audio wav tracks back into my project? Let's say, I don't want to convert them into midi, just to have what I'm hearing at one point, and I'm happy with the sound, directly to wav tracks?
SD has extended bouce options, you can export single tracks, with or without effects, bleeds and everything else in any quality you want. Check the manual for that because you have a ton of options. Alternatively you could just route every channel of the SD mix to a bus and record each track in real time in your DAW but make sure you have the quality up because the default quality of the samples when auditioning is 16 bit
@@mixbustv true, it has extended export options but just for midi tracks (which would not include the blend with the real drums). I checked the manual and there's no way to do this , other than like you said. Set SD as multiple outputs in the DAW and record in real time all tracks.
I have a cheap drumkit and a cheap single microphone with a cheap audio interface...can i record myself and have superior drummer track all my audio drumkit? would it work this way?
@@mixbustv Thanks for your reply!...I see...any reasons for doing it like that? sorry, i'm not a drummer. 😥 Was my band's drummer that came up with the question.
Hey, that's the way SD3 is supposed to be used! This is probably the best vid on SD3 on YT. However, with just slightly more complicated drums I find the tracking doesn't work so well. I gonna be in Berlin next month. When and where is your masterclass?
I've been using the SD3 tracker on my last several drum videos, and while I do need to do quite a bit of cleanup and fixing, it's still very worth the effort!
It isn’t perfect, but...adding and subtracting hits is so much more intuitive than previous methods I’ve had to use. It gets about 80% and then about 10-20 minutes of checking accuracy. It used to take an hour or more for me. I get live gig recordings a lot from bands who want me to clean up the audio so they can lay the video on top and have something that sounds decent. At least more so than raw from the board that is. The drums always suffer during the rushed mic jobs at a small live show. I add samples with Superior over the live sound and they always love the end result. I usually replace the kick almost completely, 50% with the snare, and leave the toms and overheads alone.
MixbusTV David people just don't know the kind of game changer this is. The end game is just fucking on another level. The fact that you even did it blows my mind. Should be at least another hour but shit dude. A sm57 + a bucket + talent = a world I need to live in. Loved it so much that I even let the ads play. Now Instagram has insta tv. Shit man. It's like I just woke up and all the tools I ever wanted and needed while struggling to get where I am are just there. I remember struggling with protools on a Quad 4 Mac. Ok. I'ma get back on this track now. Rock on.

@@mixbustv It's true, you are sooo good !!!!!
Not only is was good on the tracking section of SD3 but the mixing part was priceless ! Great video!

MixbusTV I guess I’ll add it soon to my arsenal. Did you buy the ssd (with sd3) from toontrack as well?
MixbusTV Thanks for your answer man, have a nice day!
holy moly i didn't even know superior drummer is able to trigger, thanks duuuude!
fun you also can use other things like NI kits and stuffs too
Why didn't you use the "match with sound" feature?
So you could do this JUST for the kick mic? Then send it out to an aux in Pro Tools and mix it on the aux track with Slate stuff? Does SD3 fidle with the bpm, or does it just place the midi points to where the wave file transients was, and leave the bpm alone?
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I wanted to build my own preset and this video is the best out there
Brilliant vid!😀
Loving this Superior 3 tutorials, very useful. Thank you!
I think I learned more about mixing drums than superior 3.great job
That was an awesome tutorial
Thanks Man....awesome explanation!
Lol, I'm a drummer without a drum kit. I'm really tempted to buy SD3. Just so I can sit at my pc messing with drum sounds and making beats!!
I recorded 3 songs that way. Being a drummer makes it easier to create more realistic sounding beats without actually playing them. I recommend it.
Great video! (As usual, David’s vids are always great).

great ! i hope to be in Berlin for the Masterclass !! thanks a lot to improve my mixing visions !! keep on rockin D !
great tutorialI just got it thanks!
How do you save it with the some of the original stems mixed with the new drums?
excellent! thanks for that. You answered many of my questions. good job!
This is great!!
Great! But there was nothing wrong with the real tracks so I think this could sound great blended with the real tracks!

Wow I will try that, thanks bud
Just a quick question: how do I determine which note is a 1/4 note or 1/8 note etc?
You have a video of it quantize

There's definitely a way, I might even show it in other videos I have about SD3
Is there any delay in the triggered sound? I’ve been using Steven Slate’s TRIGGER plug in and it has a very small but audible delay.
Nope
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
Wow great video dude, super useful.
Amazing
Is this a bassdrum or a click?
I have a cheap drumkit and a cheap single microphone with a cheap audio interface...can i record myself and have superior drummer track all my audio drumkit? would it work this way?
Maybe. But you'll have to record one pass for the drums and one pass for the cymbals only
@@mixbustv Thanks for your reply!...I see...any reasons for doing it like that? sorry, i'm not a drummer. 😥 Was my band's drummer that came up with the question.
Also we intend to make use of AI for drum steam separation.
Hi!
Awesome video. What version of pro tools is that?
Thanks
Amazing video! Thank you!
Good! job man you are a king
thanks for the tutorial...its been a great help
lovely work , thanks alot
Yes!
Amazing. Wow. Thanks, man.
nice!
Holy crap this plugin suite is KILLER! Too bad its 450 bucks....Maybe one day lol
well done ... just waiting for mine ! ! ! and let you know :)

awesome, but the original drum tracks rarely (if ever) look that clean.
Yes they do if they''re mic'd correctly. That's why mine do 😄
@@mixbustv its not so much the mics but a combination of that and the player. Most amateur players just don't hit the damn things correctly! ; )
Stacked instruments must be routed to correct buses. This was kind of a rookie mistake, you were sending raw sounds straight to main out.
Dude, he said he will be mixing inside SD3 and they are already under group Buses, not as individuals DAW channels........relax
Great tutorial. Thank you!
Great tutorial! Thanks man
