I saved the best for last ...
What a distance this channel has gone since I started in 2015. I thank all of you so much for your support, help, friendship and inspiration. And there couldn't be a better end then being allowed to mix such an incredible song like "Fruit and Pills" by PHORM. because all I've learned and know about mixing and Superior Drummer went into this song.
Please check it out and share it, because it's worth it!

Is the core library of Superior Drummer 3 (still) any good? (feat. Huub83)

After all those fancy expansion packs that have been released lately, you might ask: Why cannot I just use the core library?

4 SDX, 1 Song: Why there's still no such thing as "the best" (even though I have my favorite)

    👍👍👍 Yeah? it's a good tutorial. But this tempo edit works when you create the drums session separately. But how to link it with host tempo??? I have a project in my DAW with few instruments, but a tempo of midi copied to SD3 in 1 point slows down. I have created the edit point with tempo increasing but it works when the "follow host" button is off but in this case Superior does not play together with host? it paused. If you link the Superior with host it follows to host tempo and all your edit unusable...

    Great video as always, really helpful 👍👍 I can't understand the drum map concept: when I drag and drop a pattern the kick hit is converted to open, and I can't find it even trying to create a new map from scratch. Any suggestions? I both program and play with a Roland TD-50 with positional sensing configured in SD3 zones

    I really like this song, but the riff sounds almost identical to the song "Bound for the Floor" by Local H. If you don't remember that song, it was a hit in the 90s that went "And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic."

    Hi Mike! I hope you are doing great my friend! :) I was wondering if there is a way to have MIDI be triggered out of Superior Drummer 3 Grid Editor and into a different VST in one's DAW? I want to make use of the Superior Drummer *Grid Editor* to record MIDI (helps dial in the articulations better) and have it trigger my other VSTs while I record in Superior Drummer Grid Editor. I have tried linking stuff in Logic 11 Midi environment to no avail. I know of multiple ways to combine stacks to play this setup but that means I am recording MIDI in my DAW track instead of Superior Drummer. Thank you :)

  • @CaptainVelveeta
    @CaptainVelveeta Před 3 měsíci

    The biggest plus with Addictive Drums if the fact that you can effect each track within the plugin. There's no need to create a drum map which adds an additional 10 or 15 tracks to your mix. I absolutely LOVE this feature. Compression, velocity, room mics and more...they're all right there within the plugin....one and done!

    hi Mike thanks for the video. i have question im facing please. i recently bought presets of Gavin Harrison for Superior drummer 3 the problem is when i connect my Edrums most of instruments are mixed up and i was wonder is there any way i can copy the presets with it mixer and stuff so i could create new drum set based on the old presets thank you indeed.

    • @MikeLuke
      @MikeLuke Před 3 měsíci

      Hi Lars, yes, it‘s possible. You can decide which part of the preset you want to load: just the mixer settings, just the routing or the instrument allocation. I know about the issue that the instruments get mixed up, Superior Drummer often works „better“ for mixing purposes than for actual drummers. So, I‘m not at my computer currently, but you may wanna quickly check the owner‘s manual of SD3 on that. Just one note, though: if you, let‘s say, play a kit with four toms and the preset just includes two toms, you need to manually add the missing toms into the mix preset, which can be fiddly.

  • @HeadacheCentral
    @HeadacheCentral Před 5 měsíci

    After a recommendation from a friend I decided to get myself the "Progressive Foundry" SDX and goddamn, is it easy to get a good classic heavy metal tone out of it even with just the raw sounds and very little FX work. The depth in the sampling of the kicks isn't quite there, but the snares and toms and cymbals are just very lively in the best of ways.
