Hi Sean and list, First of all, I just started to explorer the wonderfull world of recording, editing and mixing. I'm learning, so there are things that maybe obvious for others. That said, being a drummer myself, I preffere to play the drum parts with my Roland td-25kv vdrum. Recording the midi data, split that midi tracks in multiple midi tracks, so I have a track for snare hi-hat and so on. Quantizing isn't a big deal, just select the data and quantize.
But I have some wierdness with midi editing, see my previus posts. Also I'll create a demo session, so others can see if it is a voiceover bug or not. The drum sounds of the td-25 module are great, but a bit limitted. I was looking to extend my sounds in an accessibile way. So I want more contrtol. Superior Drummer sounds great, I've contacted the cevelopers to ask if it was accessible. They told me that it wasn't and never will be. I followed this list a while and read between the lines that Steven Slate drums should be usable in sme way. I did some research and was blown away of the quality of those samples. They have sampled some realy nice ones, so I took the decission and bought the platinum. 100 amazing sounding kits. The gui of the plugin seems not accessible, but my idea was, if we can save some kits, so you can load it up via that combobox that is a vailable in all plugins. It should be fine. You know that combobox where you can choose your instrument in xpand for example. But as this time of writing, there seems to be a known bug with ssd4, especially in pt 12.4 and sadly also in 12.5, when you try to load a kit and his settings via this way, Pro Tools will crash your machine by eating cpu and such. Also, when I make an instrument track with ssd by using remote eyes, when I open that session at a later time, there are n sounds on that track. I think I need to drop a note to the guys of Slate Digital to see if there is any fix. I'm glad to read others expierience on this topic, which vi they are using and how it turns out. Just my 2 cents. With kind regards, Peter Durieux On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 07:18:09PM -0700, Sean A.
