Hi,

in short: yes. What you hear Bounced through the MultiOut from SD3 to Logic is the same as Bouncing Outputs internally in SD3. Any system strained audio degradation during real-time playback shouldn’t be a problem in either Bounce type, Logic or SD3. I doubt that you should experience this with a fairly new computer though but in the case of it happening, it shouldn’t be gradually, more on or off.

BTW, you haven’t checked ‘Cached mode’ and/or ’16-bit mode’ in the Memory Settings in SD3, have you?

Hi,

as I understand it, this is happening in LUNA, not inside SD3. Without having your LUNA Project to inspect, it’s hard to guess what is happening but just creating an SD3 MultiOut Track and rec arming or selecting the Tracks in LUNA does not make the volume jump here.

Hi timbom,

some more details about your setup would be great; which equipment part is connected to which, computer, audio interface, drum module, midi interface, etc.

Hi,

do you have any software installed that saves “Snapshots” of your drive, like e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner? I had this problem on several drives that showed plenty of free space when I hit Cmd+I but didn’t let me install because of no space left.

You can also check this article about viewing and deleting local snapshots in the built-in Disk Utility:

The ability to import two different track1 and to be able to cut and paste betwen the tracks

Maybe I misunderstand but you can already have multiple Song Tracks (hundreds of them!) and copy and paste between them.

Hi,

may I ask what the purpose is? If it’s just to remove it, I would first check the PM’s ‘Downloads’ location for any remnant downloaded installation files and delete them. This location is specified in the PM’s Preferences.
After that I’d just drag the Application to the Bin.

Hi,

and thank you for your interest in EZkeys 2.

EZkeys 2 is very versatile but that particular feature; feeding EZkeys 2 an input melody and getting a version of melody and chords in desired style isn’t exactly how it works.
If you input a melody, EZkeys 2 will analyse it and suggest chords to it. Then you can use the ‘Replace MIDI’ function to use pre-made MIDI, Toontrack or your own, to apply that groove/feel and playing style to your input melody block. The melody itself will mostly likely not be unaffected by the ‘Replace MIDI’, so you would keep a block with the melody.

After (or before) that you can ‘Suggest Chords’ where EZkeys 2 looks at your Chords and Suggest variations depending on the Style selected. Suggested and Replaced Chords can easily be tweaked in the Grid Editor if you e.g. think that everything feels great except a couple of notes – just edit them in the Grid.

John

Grazie, quindi mi confermi che quello che si poteva fare su s2 non è possibile su s3. Questo è un vero problema nella creazione di layer con la stessa nota e quindi ritengo che s3 sia inferiore a s2 per quanto riguarda la flessibilità e più di tutto la creatività possibile. Ma esiste un software che potrebbe permettere di superare il limite indicato? Grazie

Thank you, so you can confirm that what could be done on s2 is not possible on s3.This is a real problem in creating layers with the same note and therefore I believe that s3 is inferior to s2 in terms of flexibility and most of all possible creativity.But is there a software that could allow you to exceed the indicated limit?Thank you

Well, I don’t see why the Stacking feature wouldn’t let you accomplish what you are looking for. A Stack can have several Instruments and articulations; they can be triggered by the same note but you can e.g. set velocity gates so that certain Stack members only play back between specified velocity ranges. Stack members can have different mixer channels, Envelopes, Reversed, Pitch, etc.

OK, fixed the title.

Well, let’s stick with the X-Tom created from one of the Rack Toms in the same kit example.

The ‘Route Instrument Microphones’ page will let you route your pitched X-Tom’s connected Bleed into the existing OH, AMB, etc mics/channels. It’s the same as your other Tom’s bleed but changed by the Pitch Processing, so it will not cause any issues, apart from sounding very weird if you pitch very much.
By Default, the X-Tom gets its own new Mixer channel for the Close signal and most of the Bleed gets routed to the same mics/channels as the original Rack Tom.
You can however disable Bleed and/or create new mixer channels for all the connected Bleed should you wish to, e.g. if the panning needs adjusting – the Bleed will not automagically follow your close signal panning, since it is technically still the original Tom’s Bleed albeit pitched.

When you visit the Mixer and go to e.g. the AMB channel, your X-Tom should be at the bottom of the list where you can set the Bleed level to match your original Tom’s.
When you visit the X-Tom’s mixer channel however, you cannot add any of the other existing Instruments’ Bleed. The Bleed from e.g. the Snare into the original Tom’s microphone would be exactly the same Bleed and that would be a source for problems. Pitching your X-Tom, will only affect the new Instrument not the Bleed from the other Instruments.
We can’t create a new microphone in the studio room with its own original Bleed.

Does this clarify?

Hi Jack,

when you create a new X-Tom, e.g. Rack Tom 3 -> Rack Tom 4, there is no extra bleed available for that X-Tom channel going into it; i.e. the Bleed from e.g. the Snare would be exactly the same as for the Rack Tom 3. There is no extra physical microphone introduced, it would be the same as for Rack Tom 3, i.e. exactly the same Bleed would come through two microphone channels, which isn’t good. The other way around works though; your newly created X-Tom 4, which you most likely have pitched down, will have bleed available according to have you have Routed the Microphones for it. Most likely through most of the Microphone channels if you have opted for the Default Routing scheme.

Ciao con s3 posso mettere sulla stessa nota midi uno snare e un chimbal? grazie

Hi with s3 can I put a snare and a chimbal on the same note midi? Thank you

Yes, if you create a Stack and put one on the other. You cannot assign the same MIDI note to two different Instruments or articulations.

Hi,

which presets are we talking about? The peak monitoring on channels and busses in the SD3 mixer should always be post-fader.
