Toontrack's Superior Drummer 3 is a major upgrade! Learn how to use the world's most comprehensive drum production tool in this course by master trainer Matt Vanacoro!
Matt Vanacoro is an A-List New York City based performer, composer and educator with deep experience in all aspects of production, synthesis, electronic keyboards and music technology...
Recorded at the extraordinary Galaxy Studios in Belgium by award-winning engineer George Massenburg, Superior Drummer 3's 230 GB drum sound library is really one of the best around. But more than just a drum library, SD3 offers an incredible number of features to create perfect drum parts every time. In this course, Matt Vanacoro demystifies every element of this powerful drum powerhouse.
Matt starts the course by explaining how to properly manage SD3's gigantic sample library, depending on your computer setup. Next, he explains how to set up the Audio & MIDI preferences, and he gives an overview of SD3's four main sections. If you're lucky enough to have an electronic drum kit (such as a Roland V-Drum), Matt reveals everything you need to set it up with SD3.
Moving on, you learn about the different kits, how to load them, how to preview and swap kit pieces, and how to tweak the sounds and create your own kits. You also discover how to stack kit pieces, import your own samples, and how to use alternate sticks and brushes. Continuing with the course, Matt covers important topics such as using the mixer, routing drums through busses, using effects, building complete songs with grooves, automation, macros, and a lot more!
So get your groove on with Superior Drummer 3, and take your virtual drumming to the next level with Matt Vanacoro!

I have been using Superior 3 for several months. This course opened up a number of the features that I overlooked. Well taught, clear and concise. Missing from the course are the output channel configuration options and bouncing.
Great. I've been using SD3 from day 1 and I can find my way around, but this helps a lot. Nice tips & tricks!

Really good instructor. This software is new to me. He explained it in detail but, in an easy to understand way.
