Obviously I didn't go deep as I'm sure there's some great things there, but it just wasn't my style to play guessing games with the computer choosing what I might like and me trying to fix it if it was even close. The settings were like a random game or a slot machine, move the little ball and see what comes up. Getting anything to be what I wanted always seemed impossible with Logic.
It's a little premature for me to jump ship yet.
Still, if something was easily put together, I could always copy midi and use SD3's sounds I suppose. My friend Dusty Wright did a few albums with it and I preferred the sounds and feel of Superior Drummer. Logic's Drummer has always confused the hell out of me. I use that a lot to emulate the slight variations a real drummer often uses while keeping a basic beat. It's just there's not enough basic beats there. I do like how SD has slight variations of the same beat immediately under the beat you like. Superior Drummer 3 > Midtempo > Straight 6/8 > "Basically Six" I suspect you'll find the most helpful songs there to be "Pushy Medium" and "Basic Pop/Rock" Superior Drummer 3 > Midtempo > Straight 4/4 In the SD3 core library, you'll probably find the most useful stuff in: 1 from SD2, core library from EZD2, and core library from SD3. Which expansion packs do you have? You've got Avatar Vol. Though I usually know within a few seconds whether a particular beat is ever going to be useful to me. Only downside is that you do have to put some time in up front sorting through all your beats. It's a way to get a song going quick - you don't have to sort through a bunch of overly complicated beats that won't suit the style of music you (and I) often work on. Then whenever you pull it up in the future, you can click on the star at the top of the left column, and SD3 will only show you the ones you've favorited. It's worth spending an hour or so just listening through every MIDI beat that you have in your library and starring the ones you like. It's a star that you click next to whatever beats you like in the browser. Martin John Butler, one of the nice things in SD3 (to me, at least) is the "favorite" feature.
