Superior Drummer 3
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2019 1:51 pm
So I just cross graded from EZ Drummer 2 to Superior Drummer 3 and there's one thing I can't figure out.
You can build drum tracks within SD3 by dragging grooves to the area that says drag 'Midi Block Song Block Here'. When this is open in Logic, you can play along and record to it, taking advantage of all the editing options at your finger tips. This will work 99% of the time, except if I want to actually edit a song structure that has already been recorded (so doubling the length of a chorus, for example). I'd have to make two edits - one within SD3 and the other within Logic itself with all the other files.
The alternative to building a song within Logic, and the way I always worked in the past with EZD2, is I would drag the Midi grooves directly into a Logic track. However, if I do this I lose the ability to use the 'Edit Play Style' and 'Grid Editor', which I think are really cool (there may be a few other options I'm not able to access, but I haven't discovered them yet).
So, am I missing something here, or is this just the way it is? Is there a better way to go about building drum tracks? There is an option to bounce out all the drum tracks, but once you do that the audio is fixed at whatever settings you chose.
Thanks.
