The reason why I recommend you to make your own drum lines is because, as user kcearl said, it sounds much more in place and it will also enhance your creativity.
#Superior drummer 2 add midi grooves install
I don't want to baffle you before you get the software, just install it, grab the groove monkey files and have fun with it and come back here with more questions when you start pulling your hair out that's how we all learn around here. The humanizing features are really good but I've only brushed on them (no pun intended) as all input here as I said comes from the V-drums and that's usualy random enough with a human on the throne. You can select the depth of the layers of hits for each drum in the kit giving you anything from a basic 5 piece kit with a few varied samples of each drum that will load up under 200 meg or the same kit with multi layers where you'll never hear the same sample in 1 of 20 hits. You should also be able to edit said loops and ofcourse if you change your project tempo the midi changes tempo too so basicaly you can have any loop at whatever tempo you want.
#Superior drummer 2 add midi grooves free
If I was you just starting I'd get these free loops, drag a beat you like into a midi track in your DAW then open it in a midi drum editor, that will let you see what is going on within the loop. As someone else mentioned the Groove Monkey midi loops are free and show up in the Grooves browser of Superior 2.0 when instaled. Pics aren't great, but should give you an idea of how things are layed out. Superior didn't come with any midi files I don't think but after upgrading, all the loops from the add on packs were still there (I'm trying to attach a screen grab) Each expansion pack came with it's own set of midi loops. I never really bothered with them as I have a set of V-drums to trigger. I know that EZDrummer came with a selection of midi "loops" set out as grooves and broken up into intros, beats on hihat, beats on ride & fills that you could audition within the program then just drag them to a midi track in your DAW of choice in the order you wanted. I've used Superior 2.0 (2.2.0 now) for the past 18 months and EZDrummer for a few years before that. I'm not a drummer either but, once you're happy with your drum sound, with some patience the result you get by creating and edditing your own drum lines can be quite good. Maybe I'm getting this all wrong and you are asking for pre-made loops to put on your song? I really don't know much about libraries, I usually pick the available drum kit which best suits my tastes, change the drum parts I want between kits, and play around with the envelopes until I get the desired sound. You may also want to try Addictive Drums, which takes about 2GB of disk space and has lots of different possibilites of sound shaping. The old EZDrummer from 1995(?) sounded pretty sloppy but this one is really quite good. You can even choose which drum parts can be heard on which microphones. They even say it is programed so you won't hear the same sound twice (I don't know if that's true, but as long as it sounds good I'm ok). If so, I can't figure out what that would be.Īny help would be appreciated.Why do you say Superior Drummer 2.0 is kind of limited? Minimum instalation is 4GB (up do 25GB) and with the envelopes and 'humanizing' options you can get any drum sound you want from it. It is possible that I inadvertently changed a setting I wasn't supposed to change. The sound wouldn't come out when I add the MIDI file to the SD3 editor, if it wasn't.ĭoes anyone have any suggestions on what this could be? I checked the audio from SD3 and it appears to be correct. No matter what I do, the sound does not come out. I insert track, then add the FX to be SD3. I have tried this just about every way possible. While, it allows me to get around the issue, it is not the way things should work. It is the only way to get the sound from SD3. If I change it back to SD3, and open the SD3 editor and insert the same MIDI media file, it will produce the sound. I then change the instrument to be a piano VST and the MIDI track plays the piano to the drum track (very interesting, but not what I want). I then change the FX to be SD2 and the drums start to play using the SD2 kit selected. The line moves across the notes, but no sound comes out. I insert the MIDI media file and hit play. I insert a track with virtual instrument and select SD3.
Audio is set to the computer sound card, (though I have tried it with the ASIO from the audio interface also). I have an issue getting any sound out of a MIDI track when the FX is Superior Drummer 3. I'm new to Reaper (loving it so far), and working with VSTs.
