However I’m a hobby drummer, I’m in no way a benchmark. It really feels like you are sitting in a huge room, playing a superb kit. However, sitting on my Roland TD-4, it was bliss. You can draw midi files from the DAW into Superior and vice versa.Į-Drum wise, I can’t get too much into detail as I’m not a specialist in this area. There’s still more to praise: Midi-management, the built-in drum editor are a pleasure to work with. I was surprised how economically this huge VST-drum tank works! Chapeau! In addition to that, it will save a lot of cpu-power. Fortunately you don’t need to: There are built-in effects which will do the job in an excellent way in the box. Sure, routing all the outputs into your daw-groups may bring you cpu down to its knees. There are a whole lot of features and you may think that this may be too much for your ordinary recording PC. Thats also means that you can translate a cheap kit with cheap microphones into a classic ludwig kit, recorded with world class microphones in one of the best recording rooms ever. With a little tweaking afterwards, you can translate whole drum performances into midi and into Superior 3.
Not only can you trigger snare, kick and toms, Superior 3 also takes care of cymbals and highhats. However, there is still more: The drumtracker is witchcraft.
To sum up so far: Great sound, amazing workflow. It's included now and will make it easy for songwriters to find suitable grooves easily. What I missed most on Superior 2 was the "tap to find" feature of EZdrummer. If the sheer number of channels and options is too confusing for you, you can draw on a multitude of mixer-presets that will do an excellent job, at least as a starting point. The variety of articulations is phenomenal.
There are more room mics for your disposal than you will ever need.
This is more than you need for covering all musical styles from jazz to black metal. The kits you get are absolute top notch quality. The question is: "Can it get any better?" Whereas the second installement has been a gamechanger, number three seems to be the ultimate drum machine. Since then, every new major version has meant a big step forward. I've been using toontrack drums since way back when "drumkit from hell" entered the market.
