Producer's Guide to Superior Drummer 3

Video Courses by Producertech

Toontrack’s Superior Drummer 3 is an unrivalled platform for the creation of acoustic, electronic or hybrid drums, incorporating a huge library of sampled kits, recorded by George Massenburg, with an intuitive mixer that includes 35 built-in effects, comprehensive groove manipulation and much more! On this detailed course by Joshua Casper, you’ll be guided through every part of the software, to get you well on your way to programming incredible drum tracks with this legendary virtual studio.

The course starts with a proper look at the foundations of the software, the drums themselves, showing how kits are loaded up, played and customised. Once the desired kit has been created, the drums are then programmed and edited using the groove and song track panels, before balancing and processing everything with the software’s powerful mixer.

In addition to covering all of the main sections of Superior Drummer, there are separate tutorials on every one of the 35 audio effects onboard! Furthermore, Joshua provides a useful demonstration of how to import audio of multi-tracked drum sessions and extract high quality MIDI using the tracker panel, allowing enhancing or replacing of audio with the software’s high quality drum samples.

Signing up to the course provides 24/7 access to 3 and a half hours of tutorials, as well as 5 bonus kit and mixer presets. Check out the free sample module for an example of the course style and content, which will have you producing pristine beats in no time!
