Ok, I found the culprit: the audio over usb input gain setting on any roland module that supports it is set by default to -18dB, I guess to protect your ears from blowing up when playing along with audio from your computer, but it causes SD3 to be barely audible, on the TD-25 go to “Audio Setup”> AUDIO IN Gain(dB) and increase the value there to a positive value like 4dB, be careful to reduce the volume of other audio sources in your computer, like itunes, system sounds or spotify for instance, because they will be pretty loud as well, so reduce the volume before jamming to songs.
To the Tonntrack team, please add this advice to the SD3 manual to have less e-drummers pissed of at the low volume 🙂
just increase the master level to 4-6db, nothing else, SD3 is not made for edrummers, is a misconception we all have when starting with this topic, it’s for enginners, producers and guitarrists who write their own drum parts…
