Optional: an internal SSD to replace your computer’s hard drive (which results in more CPU power and less crashes) and an external SSD to store your samples on.Samples are quite large files so you will need spare storage space to keep them on your computer, while superior RAM will improve performance of VSTis within your DAW A computer or laptop (recommended with more than 10% storage space remaining and at least 16GB RAM).

A DAW such as Logic Pro X or Pro Tools 12 (for more information, check out our What is a DAW? and Best DAWs articles).

Please refer to our Connectivity Guide for connecting your keyboard into a computer.

A MIDI keyboard, drum machine or a piano keyboard that have access to either a USB Type B port or traditional 5-pin MIDI ports that are seen in older keyboards and gear.

Point is you probably dont even need superior drummer unless you are that advanced in audio production and spending 8-16 hours minimal duplicating or creating custom kits.In order to use VSTs, you will need to have access to: I use it for professional pieces so I have to have legit copies of everything [takes almost 6 hours to register everything from ezx,sdx,ezkeys, ezmix. And while EZDrummer wont play SDX kits there is an EZX strip down of almost every sdx kit now except for older ones.Īnd honestly I don't know about the warez side anymore. 90% of people dont need Superior Drummer only EZdrummer. But honestly if you are just using EZX kit's dont both with SD.

Any EZX kit will still show up and SDX the program has the folder for will still work.īut the problem is Alot of the SD2 kits dont have free updates and therefor do not work in SD3 except for replacement parts unless you own the libraries and updated them through the toontrack download updater.

It also has some really good sounding toms in some of the default sd3 kits. But in general the default sd3 library I only use sparingly like when looking for the perfect cymbal or something.

The SD3 Library is not the avatar kit from SD2.
