Hi,
your best alternative should be ASIO drivers, WASAPI is slow IIRC. If you have Focusrite hardware, there *should* be fast ASIO drivers available for it. Please check the Focusrite site for up-to-date ASIO drivers.

Thanked by: cory HigginsNo,
the AudioUnit cache should suffice.
Did you reboot your Mac afterwards and then run the Custom install to make sure the AU component gets installed?

Hi,
to expand on Mick’s reply: Did you install the EZD3 Core Library as well as the EZD3 software? They are two different installers, both found in the Product Manager application.

Thanked by: Scott Eshleman, jmat and Mick AvoidantTo add to Shootie’s post:
expanding the Row (in the Grid Editor) for e.g. a Ride or Crash will reveal the ‘Choke’ lane as well as the different articulation lanes. Drawing a Choke in an instrument’s lane will Choke that instrument at the insertion point with a fairly quick release. If you for some reason wish to have the Choke active for a longer period, right-click the ‘Choke’ lane (or any lane) and select ‘Show Note Length’.
An alternative to drawing Chokes on separate lanes is to expand the Editor lane at the bottom of the Grid Editor, which displays Velocity values by Default and select ‘Choke All (Channel AT) and draw a Choke there. This would be Choking all ringing Cymbals at once.

Hi,
I would do the following:
Close Logic.
Go to {Mac HD}/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ and delete the ‘Superior Drummer 3.component’ file
Clear the AU cache by following the instructions in this FAQ: https://www.toontrack.com/faq/my-toontrack-plug-in-is-missing-from-logic-garageband/
Reboot your Mac. Open the Product Manager and Download the SD3 3.3.7 Installer again (if you have deleted it). Run it and make sure you click ‘Customise’ and then check that the AU plug-in is indeed being installed (see screen shots).

Next, start Logic.

Hi,
I highly recommend using the Product Manager Application. Is it possible for you to have your computer online for Authorisation?

Hi,
this topic is about having different versions of resources and plug-in on Windows and you are using macOS Sequoia. Please start a new thread about your particular problem, describing what steps you have taken and your system specs.

Thanked by: Scott Eshleman and BradHi,
using the SD3 Tracker to convert recorded audio files into MIDI is never as easy as if you are recording MIDI directly from an E-kit, if that is what you are asking?
However, with separate microphones for each kit piece you wish to convert with Tracker, the easier it will be for you. I presume you record the separate microphones to separate tracks/files for loading in the SD3 Tracker.

Hi,
I am afraid you have missed the info on the Dark Industrial product page that it is an EZkeys 2 library which requires EZkeys 2.
In this EKX for EZkeys 2, the absolute contraries of the audio scope come…
This EKX requires EZkeys 2. Learn more about the program…

Hi,
unless something is communicated via the main site or via email, future products, features and/or updates questions will never be replied to here on the Forum. NDA’s and stuff.
Requests over at ‘Requests & Feedback’ are always read by Toontrack.
I started on a Strata Prime Map for a User a while ago, maybe you can use it either as is or as a starting point?
If you wish to do so, please download the attached ZIP file, un-zip and then click the ‘Manage in Finder/Explorer’ entry in the MIDI Presets list in EZD3 and place the un-zipped file in there. Rescan User Presets and it should be there. If you make changes, don’t forget to save them.

does this mean I can trial it again with a new account, or on a different computer, or both?
Hi,
AFAIK, both should work.
Just make sure that if you decide to buy it, be logged in to your main account when registering it.

Hi Mark,
the Hitmaker SDX is an expansion library for SD3. i.e. an add-on. There is a Bundle offer in the web shop now.

Hi,
if I understand you correctly, I would say that you should probably look into upgrading to Superior Drummer 3, where you can expand library kits with additional instruments/pads and have much more control over individual articulations and custom setups.
