I take my comments back about regretting buying SD3. You can send the mono channels to a stereo buss!

🙂

But yea, mono and stereo mixing would be nice inside SD3.

 

Superior Drummer 3 is excellent! I just didn’t know how to use the thing. Love it.

So I figured a workaround until SD3 gets an update.

In Cubase 9.5 (at least) do your usual. Open SD3, in SD3 don’t switch to 32 mono outs, instead do this;

use the 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 stereo outs etc…. 3/4 (kick), 5/6 (snare)…. right? Whatever you want to be mono simply create a mono group track for that stereo channel. In mixer view hide the outputs of the SD3 VSTi and heypresto, a quick workaround.

Ideally it’d be perfect once SD3 has the capability to do this itself.

I really hope it’s soon.

It’s because UAD plugins (mono) use less DSP on mono tracks and behave differently too.

It makes complete sense so have mono for kick, snare etc and stereo for overheads and what not. Why this isn’t a feature is beyond me! I have just bought the VSTi and kinda regretting it already 🙁

Can there possibly be an update on the horizon? There’s gotta be!

I am totally baffled here, I am coming from BFD3 and was assuming you could route a kick > mono output and it be recognised as a mono channel in Cubase, I also assume I could route snare > mono and the same. I also assume I could send OH, Room and AMB etc to stereo out and it be recognised as a stereo channel in cubase.

What I get is 32 mono channels. It also seems I have two mono channels for a stereo Hi-Hat for example, I can’t mix mono and stereo outs in the same mixer?

Am I missing something? It’s very frustrating as I have just forked out £300 and cannot do what I was expecting the VSTi to do! Route correctly.

Please, can anyone help me out here? How do I use mono & stereo together?
