Also which plugin format as DP can use not only AU but also vst format.

Cool you’re back in business. One of those things you don’t think would have other than obvious effect.

Update, so support had me do the following:

After enabling the usage of those MIDI devices and shutting down Superior Drummer 3, please run the following command in Terminal/Command Prompt and send us the result:

Copy and paste this into the command prompt window, then press Enter.
reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Toontrack\Superior3\Host64 /s /v “MidiDevice*”

I sent them the results and this is what they said:

“We have been able to reproduce the issue and it is happening because your eDrumIn devices all have the same MIDI port name.
Are you able to change how your eDrumIn modules are broadcasting their MIDI port names? Maybe in their control software, if that exists?”

I will need to post on the eDrumin forum to ask about the above as I’m not sure if it’s possible to send different port names per box?

 

I should hope you can change the port name/number. Although considering that you can only daisy chain 2 boxes it might not be possible elsewise why the limit? Have you tried daisy chaining 2 boxes and going direct with the other box? I’m chasing something similar but on a Mac and daisy chaining firewire drives on my non-daw computer. The daisy chaining has stopped working.

Happy tinnitus

This will supposed problem will NOT cause tinnitus. Unless you’re working at insanely high levels. Granted it’s a shock but not the issue you’re making it out to be. What kind of level are you working at?

Nope, the default preset.

No hiss there.

What hiss? I can’t hear any. There is a bit of ringing though.

I actually don’t find it all that much of a problem but then again I don’t have my regular levels up all that high to begin with. Trying to protect my ears and also that I don’t get ear fatigue. That’s why they invented volume controls. There’s no reason to run your levels at max all the time when writing music.

4+ years later and nothing has changed. It’s still full volume when clicking on a kit piece because a mouse click is not velocity sensitive and only sends a velocity of 127.

Did you file a bug report with Toontrack? If so you may be able to find it but if it was via email then there’s no way to find it here.

That being said check the velocity of the hits going to SD3. Also the velocity curve in SD3. Where are you doing the mixing – in the SD3 mixer or your daw? If in the mixer check your levels there. If in your daw check there and make sure you’re not over-compressing things. Also check make-up gain on any compression you’re using.

Is this a new problem for you? Did write permissions on any of your drives change? Try this: unselect the first one and select one of the others and see if that sticks. The add another and another after that first trial. I just tried adding a bunch of MIDI devices by way of checkboxes in SD3 (4 more than my usual one) and the selections held after several quits and closes of SD3 in standalone mode. Keep in mind that I’m on a Mac but if it was SD3 I’d think that I’d have the same problem you’re dealing with.

Does the same one always stay connected or does that change? You’re on Windows right? Have you turned off all power savings measures? Even on desktops Windows has a nasty habit of having them on  by default. Tried changing cables? I’ve lost connectivity to devices before without doing anything with cables – a simple plug/unplug usually cured the issue.

Welcome to the major leagues. There’s a few of us here that were with BFD from back in the day. There’s quite the learning curve with SD3 but stick with it – it’s worth the effort. The bleed in SD3 alone is worth the price of admission.

Couldn’t have said it better. Whenever I’m doing something for someone I have them involved with the process even to the point of looking over my shoulder as I mix. That way they can immediately tell me what they want changed (if anything). Since I do most of the recording and all the mixing I can change things as necessary to get the tune where it needs to be.

I’d like to add something further – always provide more tracks than you think is needed at mixing stage. Tracks both with and without any effects whether it be eq, compression, reverb and the worst effect – limiting. That’s why I never use presets or effects in SD3 but record every output from the SD3 multiout to individual tracks in ProTools. I do all my own mixing so I have maximum options. And I never bake effects into a track because that would make it difficult to make effective mix decisions.
