My drummer is now using the Roland TD27 and a Roland drum kit instead of manually programming his drums in SD3 for our songs. I send him an mp3 music track with a click track to start with.
He successfully recorded into Reaper and all is well however I would prefer to use SD3 midi editor over Reaper’s to make any midi changes.
Can we arm both the Reaper project and the SD3 simultaneously? Should we even use a DAW (Reaper) to track the drums? Or should he play and record his tracks into SD3 while listening to my mp3 file through a mixer and open SD3 project in DAW (Reaper)? I plan on mixing the multiple drum tracks inside SD3, not the DAW.
Thanks for any input.
If your drummer wants to use Reaper, let him. He should use whatever he feels comfortable recording with. You can bring it into SD3 after he has recorded the MIDI into Reaper.

Thanks Jordon. It wasn’t the he wanted to use Reaper, we weren’t sure what the best method is to do this. I did export his midi from Reaper earlier and dropped it into SD3 and it worked like a charm. I thought there might be issues but this seems to be the best solution – for now anyway. Thanks again for your input.
No worries Daryl. For any type of MIDI recording I like to use my DAW since it is more like a one stop shop and I can do things in part more easily. I also use the arrangement markers in Logic Pro X to move around sections of a song, which affect all tracks involved so having everything in my DAW to start works for me. Any drum editing can then be moved to Superior Drummer. That’s just my workflow FWIW.
