If you look in the shot containing the C major signature, you will notice that there is a D7 chord. This is known as a borrowed chord. Changing the key signature to G major changed the borrowed chord to A7. A9 is an embellishment. So far, that is pretty much correct behavior. The other part with the C# is based on the F# in the other progression. That also looks correct. Transposing the key signatures it’s not going to remove the accidentals intentionally placed in a progression. That in itself would be a bug.

The circle of fifths is used for tonal centers. Key signatures are for transposition to the correct scale. Using a relative minor to denote a key signature is more of a convenience. Scalar wise, the progression in G would still be considered correct regardless of whether you said it was in G or Em. Moving it within the circle of fifths, however, will change its tonal  qualities.

Definitely an interesting song. Always enjoy listening to your stuff, and sometimes crawling inside your mind. 😀

Not saying that you should do this, but if it were my song, I probably would have used a bit less aggression on the vocals and made it a bit more “in your face”. For myself, I probably would’ve sang it a bit less harsh and slammed the vocals while reducing the echo. I might have even doubled it with a whisper for this song to match the vibe of the music, at least to how I hear it. However, that’s me. YMMV

It is probably missing something on the export. Have you tried importing into SD3 by hitting record while playing the instrument track?

The default mapping in SD3 extends the GM format. There should be no issues using your GM grooves as is. Note that GM grooves lack articulations unique to SD3.

Very nice! I enjoyed listening to it. Not sure what else I could say.

I bought the hip-hop offbeat midi pack during the black Friday sales, seeing as I never like to turn my back on any type of possibilities (I did that 30+ years ago and it is still biting my ass today). I did wonder at the time how someone like me was going to use it. This just gave me some new inspiration.

On top of all of your other contributions to this community, thank you for this one.

Installs fine on Catalina using the Product Manager. Installed various MIDI packs without issue. May want to check/repair your permissions.

That being said, however, if you are hell-bent on using the core library, I would begin with either the Yamaha or the Gretsch kick with Ludwig black beauty snare. Compressing one of the surround channels might give you a similar effect as the chamber, or you can use the ambient channel replacement trick by stacking a Roots kit piece and using the chamber. Using the core library however, you would need some EQ to filter out there frequencies that would steal the punch you were looking for.

Having had a chance to listen to what you were after, you can get what you need right off the bat using the Roots SDX. The key in this is not only in the sound of the library, but also in the hits style of the player. In the case of this SDX, Futureman has a hit style most suited. Backing off on the ambient mics while bringing up the chamber, along with a touch of parallel compression, will bring out the punch.

while you can probably achieve something similar  with Hansa, from what I have heard from the demos, I believe Roots nails it better. I have been using it for a song that requires a similar type of head style, and it works amazingly, in my opinion.

Why not just start a thread on the SD3 section of this forum? The two key elements are right there to leverage: resources and reach. If there is enough momentum, the admin‘s can make it into a sticky.

Could also be a spot to share tips and tricks for creating presets (I discovered some huge time savers that aid in my preset creations).

Considering that most modern pop presets can be used for today’s gospel/P&W, you might need to elaborate specifically on what you were looking for.

I haven’t seen any issue as far as “use preset…“ and the Logic drum designer map within SD3. Sounds more like some anomaly with the script itself.

It sounds rather characteristic of in 1176 slamming the audio with a moderate attack. Short of telling you that you may have to do this by ear, you would probably have to route this into a DAW and use one of the more faithful emulations (such as UAD) to achieve the same results. It might not hurt to follow it up with a good tape emulation to give it a little bit of a push while clamping the mids.

I wouldn’t be surprised if EK used this channel in parallel with the other ambient channels  to give the drums that extra drive.

You might have to elaborate. MPX as I know it is an audio format for radio. if you’re referring to something different, it would help to post a reference such as a URL.

EZD is a software instrument and not an audio effect. You need to create a software instrument track and load EZD from the instrument selection drop down menu.
