I saved the best for last ...
What a distance this channel has gone since I started in 2015. I thank all of you so much for your support, help, friendship and inspiration. And there couldn't be a better end then being allowed to mix such an incredible song like "Fruit and Pills" by PHORM. because all I've learned and know about mixing and Superior Drummer went into this song.
Please check it out and share it, because it's worth it!

4 SDX, 1 Song: Why there's still no such thing as "the best" (even though I have my favorite)

    hi Mike thanks for the video. i have question im facing please. i recently bought presets of Gavin Harrison for Superior drummer 3 the problem is when i connect my Edrums most of instruments are mixed up and i was wonder is there any way i can copy the presets with it mixer and stuff so i could create new drum set based on the old presets thank you indeed.

    • @MikeLuke
      @MikeLuke День тому

      Hi Lars, yes, it‘s possible. You can decide which part of the preset you want to load: just the mixer settings, just the routing or the instrument allocation. I know about the issue that the instruments get mixed up, Superior Drummer often works „better“ for mixing purposes than for actual drummers. So, I‘m not at my computer currently, but you may wanna quickly check the owner‘s manual of SD3 on that. Just one note, though: if you, let‘s say, play a kit with four toms and the preset just includes two toms, you need to manually add the missing toms into the mix preset, which can be fiddly.

    @HeadacheCentral Місяць тому

    After a recommendation from a friend I decided to get myself the "Progressive Foundry" SDX and goddamn, is it easy to get a good classic heavy metal tone out of it even with just the raw sounds and very little FX work. The depth in the sampling of the kicks isn't quite there, but the snares and toms and cymbals are just very lively in the best of ways.

  • @mybiggrin

    SD3 is rarely on sale, and when it does, it's never a huge sale. EZ doesn't really go on sale at all, they only include a "free" pack as part of their sales. At least AD2 has massive sales.

    Hello Mike. thanks for the video very informative. I'm facing a problem with my Superior drummer if you can help me please. i bought preset from someone and when I plug my Edrums to play I have to change like cymbals and tom. the problem is is there any way to copy the presets and paste them on the tom or cymbal I add? and I also can't save the preset so everytime I close my superior and reopen it again I lose the sitting ( I mean about the tom and cymbal ) for example my floor tom sit on ride so I will like to change it place without losing the preset and mixing or EQ. thank you so much

      Hi Lars, once you‘ve assigned everything, you need to save it as a user preset. Doing this will allow you to easily recall your settings next time you open the software. Start SD3, open your user preset and off you go. Hope this helps.
