Hi. New here. Long time SD3 user, first time posting. Found this thread on Google.

If there’s an up to date thread about this forgive me, but I’m really really super very interested in an SD3 library without all the room tone of the kits that come with the full version.

No matter what I do – mute the overheads, mute the ambience (obviously), put all the bleed controls at zero, •solo any drum in the mixer• – the crazy long decay of the original recording is really really getting to me! It’s all over every drum in every drum kit, there’s no relief from it. It’s so loud I can’t even gate it out of the snare drums.

Please let me know if I’ve overlooked a solution to this, and if I have, please enlighten me! More than a few times a client has said “the drums sound nice but can you turn off all that reverb??” There isn’t any reverb. “Then what am I hearing?” It’s the samples, they were recorded that way. “Then why are you using it?” Ummm
