What SD Lacks

[Nicholas DiFabbio]

I think there is a major flaw in the EZ/SD lines.
That being the fact that the more expensive product (SD) lacks key features from the less expensive one (EZ)
There are many (most?) who would like to have the sound quality and flexibility of SD with the programming capabilities of EZ not to mention the user interface.
Now the only solution is to program in EZ and trigger, manipulate and route in SD, cumbersome.
I think the solution is simple, put all the functions of EZ into SD. Then there will truly be an upper and lower choice; SD with everything and EZ with some key features but limited in others.
In other words what usually happens with upper and lower line products

Manos thanks for that, I don’t see why you wouldn’t be allowed to mention other brands but I’m not sure.
If what you say is true it’s another inexplicable example of poor planning and forethought by TT

I found something which was really bad for a Drums VSTi like SD2. As SD2 can read libraries from EZDrummer Line you can’t build your own Drum Set from various (EZDrummer Line) products while with EZD2 you can!!

At first I was thinking he just didn’t find the way to do this with SD2 (messing with him with various type of words and phrases like (you are ignorant and you don’t know sh..), I was convinced that a product like this wouldn’t lock you down using drum parts from one product at a time. When, I finally understood that you couldn’t do that in SD2, I was greatly disappointed.  

Hi,

this is simply not true. Tell your friend to read up on how to use X-drums in Superior 2. It doesn’t work the same as in EZdrummer 2 but gives you far more flexibility over the drums, bleeds and microphones.
