This was amazingly helpful in setting up my TD17 with SD3.
Based on a clients review and the info I got from my SweetWater rep, I just ordered this product. I immediately started stalking RUclips for tutorials etc. And ran across your vid here. Makes me really anxious to get started with it! Thanks!
Thanks for the video! I love Superior drummer 3! I trigger it with my VDrums at live gigs! INCREDIBLE!
I'm going to buy this asap! Thank you.
Hi Pal, great video. Thanks for sharing. I would really appreciate seeing that video you suggested making about how to set up with e-drums. I'm new to it and feeling a bit overwhelmed.
What a great review ! I just got this ,not yet installed. I plan to use it with my Roland TD-10 and newly fixed Drum kat turbo. You've got me excited on the seemingly endless possibilities ,I'll be checking out more of your videos. Be well !
Hey, thanks for watching! Trust me - you're going to have a BLAST playing with it. It's an amazing piece of software, especially when paired with a good kit.
That bleed feature is sooooo krazi!!!! Dope!!!! Thanks for the video mane!! I just got SP3 last night and haven't been able to sit on my ekit and really dig around yet but I'm stoked!!
Maaaaaaaaaaad props for Studio One usage.
Thanks alot for this :)
Great video!
Nice video. I love SD3. FYI concerning how real the bleed sounds: it’s because it IS real haha. They recorded every single microphone for every single sample they made! So when you hear snare bleed into the hihat mic, it’s because the hihat mic was recording when they got that very snare sample. So crazy. Which is also why you can individually control every one.
I know - the way they put these libraries together is just insane. And the fact that you can tune each drum and the bleed follows suit - it's craziness. Love it!
Yeah, wild how "bleed" was one of the segments of the download. Core, room, ambience, bleed (or something like that).
@@consordini6258 Excellent video overview. Thank you. Subscribed. Really quick question: can you build your entire song within SD3, and then transfer it ALL over to your DAW tracks? Sounds like you can. I work better putting things together in one place, and then transferring and processing from there. Thanks!
very nice tutorial, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Really helpful! Cheers!
Glad to hear it!
great video man!
great video! thank you! :)
It has the best input recognition from electronic drum sets
Hi Alex. Great review man. I have been an Addictive Drums user since 2017, and while I am quite happy with it up to a point, in the last few months I have begun to feel the need to try something new. Watched a few videos now and Superior Drummer has really piqued my interest. I have heard folks rave about it on various forums, and then it was a big deal to learn that George Massenburg was involved in its creation. My primary thing is the quality of the sound, and I know that with him on board that side of things will be second to none. I work with an e-kit also, so the dynamics and "round robin" sample playback is important. Quite impressed with the quality of the effects too, I tend to bus out my tracks dry and work with them in my DAW currently, it would be great to be able to do more processing within the platform. The GUI does really look a treat, and the selection of kit pieces straight out of the box is staggering. Yup, I'm convinced. No nights out on the town for a while for me! All the best.
You’ve just inspired me to spend a lot of money.
Hey Alex, great video! I am interested in this software to use with my VDrums and was wondering if you ever put together a video showing how to set it up with your electronic kit?
thank yo!u for the video, I'm just digging in to superior drummer 3 and looking to learn. Other than watching videos like your's where does one go to truly understand and fully utilize this program head to toe? thank you again
Hi. Very informative. I've just ordered a Roland TD-17 KVX. A video on mapping would be really useful.
Hey, thanks for watching. I'm definitely planning on doing a video like that as soon as I can!
Yeah actually I have Td17 and in my daw (ableton) for example I cannot trigger choke cymbals. While in standalone it works just fine
@@bogdanswierczek4288 Yup I have the TD17 as well. Just got SP3 last night. I'm excited!!
SD2 had bleed too, not as deeply configurable as in SD3 but it sounded great nonetheless :)
And at 5:35 when you double click on the region you dragged in, look to the right of the drums - amount & velocity. That's basically like "Drummer" in Logic Pro. Amount will increase or decrease the complexity of that pattern (add more ghost snares etc), velocity will make it bigger or smaller. I just saw that in another video, ha.
I just got this. Gonna see if it beat Addictive Drums from XLN.
Edit: It's darn good. just wondering why there isn't electronic drum kits
I'd love to see an explanation of how to connect Superior Drummer 3 to an electric kit man. I have a Roland TD30KV and I just bought Superior Drummer 3 but I'm pretty clueless on how to get it all working together. It would certainly help me survive quarantine dude!
Hey, thanks for watching. We definitely want to do this vid ASAP, but it's actually really easy in general. Once you've got your TD30 module connected via USB (and any relevant drivers installed) just go to ' Settings > MIDI IN/E-Drums ' in SD3. They have a TON of mapping presets for different modules. Just select the TD30, make sure you have the MIDI input in SD3 set to your module, and you should be pretty much good to go. Hope that helps!
Thanks man, I did eventually get it working. It's quite an intimidating piece of software for the uninitiated.
@@EwanPB Good to hear man! It is pretty intense, haha. Have fun!
How do you route Superior Drummer 3 channels to Studio One tracks? Can you do a video?
Nice one...best video review i've watched of SD3, great work dude! And what an awesome piece of software SD3 is! One question, do you run SD3 on the internal SSD of your computer or on an external SSD? I'm thinking of purchasing a Mac Mini M1, 16g RAM, 0.5Tb SSD... and hope the 0.5TB internal SSD will be enough to run SD3 with it's full library of samples...of course together with Logic Pro and a few other programs like Premier, Photoshop... then use external SSD's to store all the sessions/media files. Thanks again fir this great review! :)
hi ! next time do a review for bfd3, you gonna blown away by the quality and amount of expansion;)
I have heard good things, but nothing can dethrone the depth and realism on offer here. The bleed thing and the natural quality of the samples are really important to me. I'll take those over expansions any day. But I'd still love to take a look at BFD3 - maybe they'll send me a license.
@@consordini6258 you have bleed there also, there is a knob for amount and on off
What E-Drum kit are you using with SD3, if you don't mind answering? would love to know, or if you made another video about using that w/ this program, t'would be epic! Cheers!
Excellent review - can you trigger SD3 using eDrums pads without the eDrums module/brain, that is like a midi keyboard, trigger direct from the eDrum pad into SD3?
can you adjust the bpm?
Great video! I just got SD3 as well as Luna (DAW from UA). I'm not so much interested in preset grooves as much as I am writing them. But, I can't get my SD3 instrument track to record midi. Any suggestions? (think of Luna like any other DAW). Thanks in advance!
Interesting - I was intrigued by LUNA but I have a hard time with a DAW that requires a certain interface. I have a UAD card but not an Apollo or Arrow so I don't get to play, sadly. As for the MIDI issue, since I don't use LUNA I'm really not sure, sorry. If you're trying to compose a groove within SD3 and then have the MIDI in your Edit window, it won't record in a traditional sense. You'll have to export the clip from SD3 to the track in your DAW, which I'm also not sure how to do. But I'm sure there's a way. Best of luck, thanks for watching!
What is the name of the song in the end.
Great video!!! Thanks!!! Did you do a vid for V-drums yet? I'm subscribing now & checking to see if you did.
thanks for this. I recently got an alesis strike pro se, and the sounds just aren't quite up to snuff, for recording anyway. def considering SD3 to take me the rest of the way. hoping my dumb drummer brain can figure out how to integrate it with Samplitude Pro x. Lots of stuff to get straight for a dude with no experience with any of it. but the sound are just so good!
Hey, thanks for watching! We're going to do a video soon on using SD3 with an electronic kit. Be sure to sub and keep and eye out for it, hopefully I can help you get it set up.
@@consordini6258 much appreciated!
@@consordini6258 Did I miss this one? ;)
17:18 what if i record a real drum with a microphone? can i use those tones from that software?
i have the roland td25 and td-11 together...lol but does it matter what kind of laptop you have when it comes to latency? I have an Hp 15 windows 10
I’m sold too. Toons need to Out you on Salary!
Toons needs to hire you! Sorry about the typo
Ha - thanks man. Maybe someday!
Hey man..how much do you charge to mix a tune
Have Trial Software ???
I'm SOLD!
Me too! Ha. Thanks for watching!
I came here DESPERATE for some sort of tutorial to help me get SD3 working with my eDrum kit. What I got, after sitting here and sitting here, and sitting here... was a TOUR. A nice tour, but nevertheless, just a tour. I got no tutorial on how to get this software working. Please change the label of this video.
The sounds seem to really need some EQ Low cut or EQ High boost IMHO
Thanks for the Video. What is your latency / delay with Edrums? Mine is 1.3ms It's not much but I can hear and feel the difference when I have both my TD30KV internal and Superior going at the same time just to see if it was the same. It's barely a tight flam but It's there. I never have both outputs going and when it's just SD3 I don't notice but I wonder if yours is lower than that?
1.3 ms is incredibly low latency, I'm surprised you hear anything.
@@vikinglord7252 Thank You. Maybe my computer isn't reporting it accurately.
can you install this alone or do you need ezdrummer installed first and this is a upgrade???? HELP I AM FREAKING OUT
You can do either. I just upgraded from EZDrummer 2 today :)
It's "Aye-Yacht" the e is silent.
Not sure why most videos just go on talking about buttons and features. What is needed is sound demo as much as possible. All other stuff can be figured out.
I never understood the reason people put their face at the bottom corner on software tutorials..
Soooo, I didn't really get to hear the drums in this. That woulda kinda been nice..... Ya know, to actually hear some drums. LOL
If you watch from about 6 minutes on, I go through the sounds of a few of the different kits. There's almost 500 gigs of samples in SD3 - it's really not practical for me to go through and demo all the sounds, it would take hours. The point of my reviews is not as much about sound samples, especially with something like as expansive as this. It's more about discussing features and giving my opinion of the product.
@@consordini6258 right on.
It’s been almost 17 years of toontrack and STILL they insist on obliterating my inspiration by forcing me to search menus. Why is there no listening AI. When software drums were novel, fidgeting was fun for about 3 months. Then after YEARS of working inside the box, you cannot tolerate any scouring and brooding for rhythm solutions. I’ll shut down a project if I’m messing around with files and menus for more than 2 minutes. My patience is probably going to even get shorter in the future. Inspiration doesn’t have any forgiveness. An idea can only remain compelling for fleeting moments. If an idea cannot be gratified in moments… like working with a skilled drummer in real time, booom! The moment is dead and gone. Burn out of burn out is this redundant search for a groove… really frustrating. Literally causes physical pain. Stop. It.
It comes with a horrible price tag.
I feel the price is incredibly reasonable for what you get. Serious professional tools cost serious money. And when you figure that you're getting 400GB of samples, which cover 7 kits, 20+ kicks, 30+ snares and 40+ cymbals, all recorded in 17.1 by one of the greatest living engineers in one of the best studios in the world... plus the insane features that the plugin comes with, between bleed, tuning, muffling, instrument articulations, mixing capabilities... $500 is kind of a a steal, lol. In any case, thanks for watching!
you talk too much
