I thought with the depth of this software it would be a few weeks before I was really comfy sending wave files to others for projects. With The pandemic and some other direction in life I have found myself transitioning into a home studio musician. I have been playing music since I was 4, toured professionally and have been writing songs for 30 years but am not super tech savvy. If you do purchase it, put the time in to learn the software.įrom Murfreesboro Tn on AugMusic Background: Toured as a drummer/guitar/mandolin player as a pro. The grid editor is easy to understand and once a workflow is developed (we're all different right) it fits right in. OMG THE SOUNDS AND ARTICULATIONS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! not a drummer, and while this software has a tad of a learning curve, it was well worth the investment. With the above aside, I'm a guitar player.
Toontrack informed me that there would be an update released for Superior Drummer 3 that would address Apple silicon instruction set when it's ready. The only item that I saw was that swap file usage on the Mac was high, which could theoretically reduce SSD drive life due all the writes to disk. I was advised that the software is still not supported yet and there engineers are almost done but, it would work by utilizing Apples Rosetta2 software (that's the Apple software that converts the instruction set from Apple silicon to Intel instructions). NOTE: Superior Drummer 3 is not yet formally supported for Apple silicon so I opened a support ticket with Toontrack for a status.
Took a chance and bought Superior Drummer 3 for my M1 Mac Mini Logic pro x (10.6.1) rig. If you're needing a sales rep, hit him up. Thanks Chris Jenkins for your hours of work on my behalf to getting the best stuff for me. If you've been considering this software (like I did for a few years), get it. Tons of videos available online for you to check that out though. I haven't even messed with the audio to midi feature, so I can't comment on that. Steven Slate Drums (which are also phenomenal) are 2nd for cymbal sound/feel (and they were #1 for me til I got to using this). I don't love all the kits, but there are some great ones included and the cymbals! DUUUUUDE THE CYMBALS are fantastic! Best response I've gotten out of a VST for drums and giving me solid hi hat sound and feel. The built in mixer and the ability to add plugins and affect the drums before they even leave the plugin is fantastic. I have used several brands and packages of drum samples ranging from products Sweetwater sells and other websites as well.
