Logic Pro X with Superior Drummer 3

[OFS]

Hello everyone.

I own BFD3 which I like the sound of, but my problem with it is the way it interacts with Logic’s Drummer, which I also use a lot for demos. The problem with BFD3 is that the Drummer’s patterns don’t translate well at all to BFD3, especially the hi-hat articulation and the shakers and tambourines.

I would gladly buy SD3 right now if I knew that it interacts well with Logic’s Drummer, but since there’s no demo I’m worried about spending 300+€ on a blind purchase. Plus, the forums are locked, which I find incredibly stupid. I saw some posts that could probably answer my question but I can’t read them because I’m not a customer. It’s very hard for me to understand this policy, specially when Toontrack doesn’t offer a demo.

Anyway, has anybody worked with SD3 and Drummer and would please share it’s experience with me? My credit card is fully armed, but I need a bit more information.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Jorg,

I agree the language is excessive, should have used something else instead of the word “stupid”. “Draconian” would be a better word, I guess. The thing is Toontrack not providing a demo, I can understand due to piracy, but what harm can come to them by letting potential customers browse the forums?

Same thing with manuals, I don’t understood why they are not kept online for everyone to read. Sometimes they contain some very specific information that lets a potential customer decide on a purchase.

Let me just point out that I’m not the first person to criticise this option, I’ve read other people’s complaints.

I was lucky that a Logicprohelp user was kind enough o render to audio for me a few Drummer patterns for me to test, but maybe being able to read the forums could have been enough for me to deciding on my purchase.

Anyway, I’ve since bought SD3 and I’m getting started with it, and so far I’m very happy about the purchase.

I just wish Toontrack had made it easier…

Regards

Miguel
