Superior drummer 2 disapointed..

[Gilles]

Hello,

I’ve just purchased Drummer superior 2 today

I ‘ve installed on my external drive in my Imac I5 (wich run other samples without any problems)

The problem is that I can’t load the sounds.

I’ve tried to set my sounds path but only, the avatar drums sounds can be loaded and heard.

Superior drummer’s, vintage and cocktail can’t be loaded, but I have a green task that should confirm that my sounds path is properly selected…..

Could you please help me?

I only see Superior Drummer 2 registered to your account. The S1 libraries: ‘dfh Superior’, ‘Custom & Vintage’, and ‘Vintage Add-on’, as well as the ‘Cocktail’ and ‘Percussionist’ libraries are for users of the original DFHS which have all been discontinued.

The only sound library that ships with S2 is the Avatar library.

Hello Scott andd thanks for your reply.

So, I’ve no longer to be stressed with this three S1 sounds bank problem? ?

Well I have also purchased Jazz option, but not already installed…..

Could you confirm how I can install it properly?

Because I suppose that it could be named as S1 sound bank too

Regards

[Scott]

No, don’t be stressed…it’s only computer software

And no, ‘S1’ is short for the original DFHS libraries and won’t have any effect on new libraries.

I don’t own any of the ‘S1’ libraries and have ‘unchecked’ them from listing in the available libraries menu.

I’ll try to install it now.

[Scott]

Yes, the Jazz EZX works fine with S2. Let me know how you make out with the install.

Scott,

I’ve a short question:

Installer ask me if I want to change the default directory. As I have installed my Superior 2 sound bank in my external drive, may I have to selected the NY AVATAR folder, the sounds folder (wich is in the NY Avatar folder) or a new one in my external drive?

Thanks again

[Scott]

Being you’re installing on a Mac, I’m not quite sure.

On PC, you can choose where to install the sounds. On Mac, I think you need to run the ‘SoundMover’ utility after installing to the default directory if you want your sounds on an external location.

John’s our resident Mac guru and I’ve found a post about using the ‘SoundMover’ utility:

Hope that helps. If you’re still unsure, John should be along to lend his expertise. Although, it’s the middle of the night in Sweden so it may not be until morning local Sweden time.

Hello Scott,

I’ve installed the Jazz expansiod and used SoundMover.

Now, I’ve the Jazz kit in my superior drummer 2 software…and it’s sound really really good

I don’t really know how I’ve found the solution, but, when I started SD2 and, tried to set the path of the Jazz sound, a message appears and said that the folder was not a sound folder….

Anyway, under the drum ‘s builder pages, the Jazz extension appears in the pop up…..

I’ve noticed that the kit background is the same as the SD2: I’ve not the Jazz kit picture with the carpet and trumpet o the left side.

Is it normal?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Gilles,

when you have run the Jazz EZX installer, the Superior 2 plugin should be able to pick it up automatically, so that is why you can use it even though you didn’t succeed in pointing to it in ‘paths’.

Since the Superior 2 interface is a bit dynamic and the EZdrummer interface is static, the EZdrummer expansion backgrounds can not be viewed inside the Superior 2 plugin.

In other words, it is normal.

Best Regards,
John

Allthe kits sounds really great and it’s a great pleasure to play with.
