6 years later and im still in love with sd3 . The best of the best.

[@SomebodyPickaName]

SUCH a helpful video. It's not often that I get to say this about companies in general, but damn, Toontrack GOT THIS RIGHT. You guys should be proud of yourselves. Excellent, excellent job.

[@kenmccormack7297]

Simply, amazing - best use of ML yet identified!

[@DrumRoody]

Game over, man

[@CahlajWasHere]

Nice! It does way more then I thought it did. Great product.

[@baptistewxpolpodcast3339]

This is impressive. Thought about everything !

[@caspermaster-com]

I need this for every drummix situation.....

[@magusmusic]

I would love to see how this new software would work with my setup. I do not mic my hihats or my ride cymbal. Basically each tom is mic'd as well as the kick an snare and to capture all my cymbals i am using 2 overheads! Showing how well superior 3 would work with a setup like this would most definitely be a selling point for myself an many others!

[@louderthangod]

I also don’t mic the hi hat because it always is pretty strong in the overheads. Any updates on what you’ve found?

[@hodshonf]

way easier for my use than Melodyne!!! fantastic!

[@GeorgePiazza]

The Find Tempo feature is buggy (v 3.12) and the scroll options are limited, which get in the way of making corrections and basic navigation; if they fix this, Tracker will be one of the great innovations, saving a lot of time by importing tempo mapped midi into Cubase and other DAWs.

[@JohnDoe-ht5vq]

I wish I could use this to track a guitar riff and create a drum pattern over it

[@bill74ish]

Same. Like EZbass does but with drums. Could be a quick way to dial in personalized hits

[@RudalPL]

Can you cheat a bit and use stereo/mono recording? From a rehearsal room for example?

[@supersonicsroots]

I really doubt that would work.

[@RudalPL]

@@supersonicsroots It does. I tried it but it needs a lot of audio cleaning and it doesn't always work as it should.

[@izzyizzm8761]

Been downloading for a week /get started!

[@blissiplin]

This seems to be the only way to to bring a session from EZDrummer 3 to Superior Drummer 3. Everyone is extremely upset you can’t open an EZD3 session in SD3, it’s crazy. So this seems to be the only workaround. If there’s a better way, let me know. Thx for this great video!!

[@stephencarter8625]

You can drag the midi patterns track from EZD3 straight into the midi patterns track in SD3…! (Studio One DAW)

[@andrewapte9981]

unbelievable

[@calvingudu9237]

Great video. Can tracker identify the difference between centre hit and side stick?

[@calvingudu9237]

Tracker does not seem to differentiate centre hit from side stick. That seems to be a limitation.

[@daronkeogh3941]

Any update to this video with the latest version of SD3? The triggerred midi note option under target sound is not on mine...

[@yanbraslavskiy7524]

I wish he had mentioned machine learning in this video ...

[@hakimtalabulma]

Awesome!

[@thedodge72]

Great video. Hoewever I have some issues when exporting. Every other time I export the tempo changes during the song? Am I doing something wrong? The audio is fine, nice and clear, but the song tempo changes mid song...

[@robclarkson2443]

Can this work for a single file? IE one wav file with Kick, hat toms and snare

[@toontrack]

Yes, you would need to load the same file on multiple tracks, as many tracks as you need instruments extracted. Of course, close miced tracks with less bleed will give you better results and you may have to delete "false" triggers but the transient detection and editor in the tracker is very useful if you're trying to make MIDI from an audio drum track.

[@codrutcroitoru]

Question...what if I first edited drums in my Daw (Cubase), and I have more audio clips to import. Let s say i deleted some of the kicks per example. How can i import those audio clips into Tracker without needing to first export that audil track from cubase and then import it in tracker? Is there any chance of drag and dropping from Daw to Tracker? Cubase 10 and superior drummer 3 doesn't seem to work together in this issue.

[@danlargeprofessionaldrummer]

This is a great video. 👍👍👍 Would Tracker be able to recognise kick, snare, toms and cymbal sounds etc from the Roland V-Drums? These will be recorded through separate channels. I have the Roland TD30 module. 🙂

[@toontrack]

Hi, With an e-drum kit you can record MIDI straight into Superior Drummer 3 with no need to go via the Tracker. For more info, please contact our Support team and they'll be happy to help.

[@danlargeprofessionaldrummer]

@@toontrack Thank you for that, much appreciated 👍👍👍

[@dylanwilson4221]

So I've been looking around and I wanted to confirm this with toontrack. Can you use your own recorded samples in place of the already loaded samples with SD3? Essentially what I'm asking is a VST with my own recorded sounds?

[@toontrack]

Not quite. You can load your own one shot samples. But they are loaded into additional slots not in place of the loaded sound library.

[@Bigwoody95826]

Great Video but I have some annoying problems: After converting to midi I dragged all of the tracks combined midi to the SD3 with my song, the drum sound is very low, I can barely hear it. But in tracker it sounds nice and loud and clear. I also tried dragging the midi to my DAW and same problem, I can barely hear the drums and sounds like some hits are missing, weird. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks

[@toontrack]

Hi, When listening through Tracker it can be that you are previewing with the Mix knob on 50% audio 50% MIDI, but then when you drag it to the DAW there's only MIDI and that's why you hear a difference. You can check and adjust the velocity either directly in the Tracker window, or after dragging the MIDI to the SD3 Song Track you can edit in the Grid Editor.

[@DhruvBhan]

Any idea how we zoom in and out? I'm really enjoying the software, but navigating is a genuine pain in the ass. Wish we could just use Pro Tools shortcuts and get away with it haha!

[@toontrack]

Hi, If you hold the opt-key and scroll you'll zoom in and out of the Grid Editor, Song Track and Tracker

[@DhruvBhan]

@@toontrack Wow, thank you so much for replying, I really appreciate it!

[@DhruvBhan]

@@toontrack Since we are here, I'm taking the opportunity to ask you about another issue. I couldn't find any way to change how the playhead behaves- is there a way to make it retain its position instead of going back to the start position each time one stops the audio? I couldn't find any way to do it in spite of searching a lot on the web.

[@toontrack]

​@@DhruvBhan Hi Dhruv we recommend that you contact support. www.toontrack.com/faq/

[@zoltarwizdom6708]

Can you throw in a fully mixed song and will it grab drums out of it? If so, how accurate is it?

[@toontrack]

Hi Justin, The Tracker works best with Multi track Drum Audio. You can however use it with a stereo Drum track as well (as long as you import the same track multiple times for the different instruments, Kick, snare, hi-at etc) It is not made to analyze and track drums for fully mixed songs.

[@DrumRoody]

that's for sup drummer 4

[@xPowerShotx]

@Kuba Lu It can be done with little work.

[@xPowerShotx]

How to do that, another tutorials from toontrack. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3TVi4B3g8djntE

[@xPowerShotx]

@Kuba Lu Just dived in to this my self, about the singel audio track. You got any video finding or something on the subject to share? I think I got it, but always nice with more insight that I might not have catched on this subject. Got my SD3 yesterday, so I'm very happy with this software. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYKoi5h-rNFsZ6s

[@Barncore]

Fucking WOW!!!

[@alyctro8158]

What is the audio file is consolidated into one, how do i track it then?

[@toontrack]

Hi, You'll get the most accurate result if you use multi track drums, but if you have a stereo file with all drums you can load multiple instances of that same audio in Tracker and then let Tracker know what instrument to listen for on each track. Hi-hat, Kick, Snare etc. For more info, please reach out to our support via the "Contact Support" button at the bottom of this FAQ: www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-contact-support/

[@alyctro8158]

@@toontrack Thank you very much, i lost hope that someone would actually know. ❤️ Unfortunately, i only have a single drum track.

[@IlyaArlenka]

What if I import full song track, will it recognize drums and create valid drum track?

[@toontrack]

No, It is not designed to work with full productions.

[@JeffFaulknerCD]

What if you import a dull drum kit track. Will it break that file apart?

[@guitarz99]

its not working do i open sd3 on its own or open it in a track? you dont tell us

[@toontrack]

Either will work.

[@nogoogleplus]

Killer.....going to get this instead Slate

[@cryptowalls]

mind F(*#^ing blown!!!!

[@jjam3774]

I wish they could do that with guitars..

[@leopera1015]

Maybe a couple years more when machine learning gets even more advanced, i mean hell you can just throw in an entire mixed song and it'll generate midi for you. (If you see what iZotope's RX 7 is capable of, the day isn't that far anymore)
