Hope this helps and I hope you’ll give it a shot.
I too hate drum software that is confusing as hell and difficult to learn, but SD3 does not fall into that category. Good said:īottom line is that if you like EZD2, you will love SD3. I promise you that.īottom line is that if you like EZD2, you will love SD3. The stacking feature is amazing! You can beef up the sound of any drum just using that without even using the effects in the mixer if you don’t want to, but you will once you play with it a bit. Your getting the same sounds as EZD2, but you can tweak them just a little bit and make them sound much better without getting too deep into it. In SD3 you can load any EZX and do this with any instrument. Regarding EZD2, the main thing that always frustrated me was not being to add just a little more EQ to a snare or reverb if I wanted to. I’m no expert at mixing drums myself, but I’m getting awesome results so far. Toontrack really improved the workflow in SD3. Too be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of SD2 and I rarely used it. I will say though that SD3 is really not that hard to use.
Maybe it would simply be a light-version of SD3 then?!? Personally I’d really like some of the improvements in SD3 when it comes to handling of windows etc, but I don’t need all the advanced drum production and mixing… that’s why I got EZ2 in the first place.
EZD is easier and more intuitive to use, fast, has great midi pattern handling and… y’know… looks said: I understand that what I’m looking for brings EZD much closer to SD but I own both and find the whole layout of SD cumbersome. Currently I use a custom set-up of the Claustrophobic kit as it has lots of extra pads, but I am very limited as to what sounds I can add to those pads.Ģ/ the facility to load my own samples on occasion.ģ/ The facility change the midi note number for a midi drum, preferably via a midi learn function.Ĥ/ Further splitting of sounds for mixing – a mix for every drum not just kick, snare, toms, hi-hats and then overheads.ĥ/ Some basic effects on the mix channels, such as those in Superior Drummer. I play a Roland kit and adding a second, deeper snare, should be easier than it is now. A low snare to Tom 4, for example, instead of just being able to add Toms to that pad. I would love the following features…ġ/ The ability to add any drum sound to any drum. The chunk list appearance has been improved at different list font sizes.I would like all of the above but, more importantly.
You can also scale music notation relative to page size on both Mac and Windows (from 10-500%) and save the setting with the project.In QuickScribe you can now graphically select and delete articulations.A new MIDI event type has been added to support intuitive recording and editing of registered controllers (RPNs) and assignable controllers (NRPNs).Projects with large numbers of audio tracks open and switch chunks much faster.
