So, UI aside, what’s new? Well, quite a lot, but let’s start with the new core library. Existing EZ Drummer and SD2 content is also fully compatible with the SD3 environment. High-quality drum sounds based upon super-detailed drum sampling, comprehensive mixing and a huge catalogue of MIDI drum grooves still lie at the heart of SD3. More importantly, while there are lots of new and improved features, the core functionality remains intact.
The new look is modern but, despite the visual differences, transitioning from SD2 to SD3 is pretty painless. even more superior? Best, Better?Īs shown in the various screenshots, SD3 has received a complete visual overhaul. So, just how have Toontrack attempted to make Superior, well. However, Superior Drummer 3 is now upon us and, almost nine years on, I think it is fair to say that expectations are high. We reviewed Toontrack’s Superior Drummer 2 back in December 2008 and, with numerous updates and new expansion-pack content since then, SD2 has maintained its position as one of the most popular choices for musicians wanting a top-end virtual acoustic drummer - despite some undoubtedly brilliant competition. It’s been a long time coming, but the new version of Superior Drummer raises the bar for virtual drum instruments. The revamped Drums page provides multiple sub-panels for sound editing and access to the new Song Track.
While the technology and the program is great, I would love to see an SD4 allow round robin 3rd party samples to be added / mixed or replace the instruments in the program and more variety cymbals wise.Superior Drummer’s new UI is both slick and highly customisable. Even when using their presets, they sound like what I would expect from a kit recorded in a more normal environment vs. Been playing with Ugritone drums lately and I like the lack of bells and whistles as well as the more realistic raw samples. So far, I have to layer a sample to get what I want out of it.
I've got to think you can take the FX off the drums, but the cymbals are always treated/processed. what is with the cymbals? Most notably, the crashes? I am scrolling through all the crashes available to me and there are maybe 2-3 that sound like my crashes sound like before processing. The drums we know sound incredible.probably too incredible given that none of the drums we love on the albums we love, were recorded in the same cream of the crop studios Toontrack has used for their drums. The recent thread here about great sounding snares only highlights the perfect sample problem in today's music.
