Answers I hoped for in Superior Drummer 2 private lesson
I have owned Superior Drummer 2 for several years and just used the stock NY Avatar kit default settings in Reaper. Recently I added drum triggers to an acoustic set so it was time to really learn the product. Scott delivers instruction in a very direct manner, no fluff to wait through. He covered every aspect of SD2 that I had wondered about in the past. I had been frustrated when going to drum forums online for answers. For some reason drum forums aren't the best place to go for explanations, many friendly helpful drummers are there to help but for some reason they don't like providing the amount of detail or backstory I needed. Scott delivers both in spades.

Great content, tiring tutor.
In general the content is great, but the tutor has a very individual presentational style, which gets a little tiring after a while. On top of that he keeps repeating even the most basic tasks forever (for example: routing each and everyone of the 32 busses).

Well Done for Non-Drummers
Scott does a very good job of explaining the myriad of options available in Superior Drummer 2. I like that he repeats some of the features such as how to change knobs and other settings with a more refined approach. He has a light approach to explain the features, which is a nice contrast to some serious instructors.

Fantastic Tutorial
You people have some great reviewers, but Scott Grigg takes the cake. Uptempo southern cowboy is how he comes across and the delivery keeps your attention and makes it fun. I took three days to go through this series to both savor the experience and to let it all soak in. If you have Superior Drummer 2, this is must watch; if you are bored, watch this and it'll perk you up. Some of the installation videos are dated because most people will be downloading and installing instead of using DVDs.

Superior Drummer 3 FAQ
WILL MY PREVIOUS SDX WORK IN SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3 ??
Yes! All SDX libraries will work as usual in Superior Drummer 3. In addition, they have all been updated with new graphics for the Superior Drummer 3. The only exception is the original DFH Superior 1. This library is incompatible with Superior Drummer 3.
WILL MY S2.0 PRESET WORK IN SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3?
All presets can be loaded into the new Superior Drummer 3 software.
WILL ALL MY MIDI WORK IN THE SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3?
Yes, all MIDI from any source or installed Toontrack MIDI, EZX or SDX package will work in Superior Drummer 3.
DELETE, SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3 INSTALLED SUPERIOR DRUMMER 2?
After the release of the Superior Drummer 3, Superior Drummer 2 will no longer be sold. However, the installation of Superior Drummer 3 will NOT remove Super Drummer 2 from your system. You can use both programs on your computer at the same time. This means that all the old projects created by you using Superior Drummer 2 will not be affected in any way.
DOES THE NECESSITY OF THE REQUIRED FULL LIBRARY INSTALLATION AT 230 GB?
No, the whole sound library is divided into 5 parts, which can be installed separately (depends on your needs). With this, the base part must be installed.
The sound library of the Superior Drummer 3 was recorded in such a way that it is compatible to output sound in different formats. In particular, this means that engineer George Massenburg has posted several additional microphones in such a way that it is possible to get 2, 5, 7, 9 and 11-channel systems. Toontrack understands that most users do not have multichannel systems in their studio, so for ordinary users the multi-channel environment found in the mixer can simply be output through your two speakers. Therefore, if your setup has two speakers, each channel in the mixer will work for you (they will all be output through your stereo speaker set)! If you have a surround sound setting, all the channels in the mixer will also work for you, and you can output the surround channels in the mixer to your dedicated surround speakers.
WHAT IS .1 IN MULTI-CHANNEL MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEMS?
This is the common industry terminology applied to the LFE channel (low-frequency effects). The LFE channel is a channel that is intended only for low-frequency audio information, which is within 120 Hz. To use the .1 LFE channel, the engineer creates a send (channels on channels with low-frequency information below 120 Hz) and sends the desired number of these audio channels to the LFE channel.
An analogue of how the .1 LFE channel is used will be reverb. The usual practice is to insert the reverb plug-in on the bus channel (aux), and then send the percentage of user-selected audio channels to this reverb bus, instead of outputting 100% of the signal to the reverb bus. This is how the .1 LFE channel works when mixing in surround mode. The engineer selects the volume of the audio channel that is sent to the .1 LFE channel. At the output, this channel is most often reproduced by a subwoofer.
For these reasons, the samples were not specially recorded as .1 LFE channels. If you mix in the surround, then you have to select the channels that you want to send to the .1 LFE channel, just like if you selected the channels that you want to send to the reverb bus.
WILL THE PREVIOUS SDX LIBRARIES WITH THE MULTICHANNEL MIXING SYSTEM HAVE COMPATIBLE?
No. Previously released SDX libraries will only contain the number of channels with which they were released.
WHAT TYPE OF AUDIO FILES CAN USE WITH A NEW TRACKER TAB?
The built-in standalone audio MIDI converter, known as the Tracker tab in Superior Drummer 3, works with the audio files of the reels in WAV, AIFF, FLAC, OGG and MP3 formats. Tracker works as with a multitrack system. Thanks to the intelligent tool recognition system, the Tracker can also extract several different individual instruments from one audio file (for example, mono or stereo mix from a drum kit). Tracker can recognize six classifications of tools: kick, snare, hi-hat, ride, toms and cymbals.
