Date published: 2020-02-15
Rated 3.0 out of 5 by from Somewhat helpful The process is too fast. Often the little details are left out as if this is just a re-exam. As if we should already know most of these things. So I have to stop and backup and make the screen bigger to see what really small button or whatever he’s touching or activating. There should be CLOSEUPS. THE ARE LITERALLY hundreds of little words on each page. I have to put my iPad on maximum zoom sometimes ...I wish there was slow motion. The other problem with this very difficult process is that I don’t get to ask questions . How did you make one on or that disappear ? It’s like he’s hungry and real late for lunch or something. He has, you’ll remember, a 32” Apple screen ! Those cost an arm and a leg. Easy for him to see. Not for me and many people. So, in closing, I’d have him slow down and two be more detail oriented , not all of this know half of this process going in, and lastly, allow questions. There won’t be that many. They will all be the same 50 questions. Answer them and make them available to us who are not gifted like Luke. I admire him for his gift and am jealous that I can’t enjoy all the privileges he’s earned over his young career. I only want TO BE SHOWN how to get my midi compositions on a Daw and send that file to family and friends. I have reaper as of today but I’ve had Abelton lite for while. I haven’t used it because I was waiting for SD3. Now I’m ready to learn . I have spent every day all day working on learning this program and DAWS look much more intimidating. I’m retired so this is now my job and my passion. You could do a better job.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by from Superior Drummer 3 Explained All the videos are very helpful but I was hoping for more hands on interfacing with my DAW. Real world stuff like creating a song and adding groves and deleting groves accessing SD3 from the daw, etc, There was one vid that showed some editing but he did it so fast I have no idea how he did it. Dont get me wrong this is worth it I just need a few more basics. Im an 80's musician from the day of hoping your drummer doesn't show up drunk! This stuff is kinda new to me.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Very clear and useful. Great job! Broken down to small sections with appropriate titles to help find specific topics easily.
Date published: 2019-06-18
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by from Very good explaind Somehow i am missing how to deal with edrums and the midi library in one project. It seems to me, that if im changing the mapping to fit the drum module, the midifiles dont fit anymore. One the other hand, the velocity threshold of the module matching doesnt effect the playback of the midi. What is the best way to do this? And: In the Midi Note Mapping Part - Changing the Midimaping from C1 to C0. What happens to the mapping of the HiHat? I will figure that out. But a bit unprecise in that part. Overall a great video even for experienced users. Thanks!

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Invaluable I am a guitar player that’s trying program drums for use with a beat buddy drum pedal and it is a daunting task in my case. Up until I discovered groove 3’s training videos I was struggling to really get the hang of Superior Drummer 3. The video is the best that I have used and I now use is as a reference to go back to when I need to refresh my memory. Superior Drummer 3 is a very powerful tool and to get the most out of it, you definitely need this video series.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Highly recommended. Superior Drummer 3 is a VERY deep program that I may never fully explore. The nice thing about this series is that it covers everything. Basic things I had already figured out. Things I had not figured out, but needed to know. Things I may not need to know now, but I will need them someday.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Awesome Tutorial!!!! 5 Stars!!!! I have to admit, I am not a drummer and I felt a bit "lost" when I started working with Drum software in my home studio. A friend told me about Groove 3. Upon searching, I found "Superior Drummer 3 Explained" by Luke Oswald. This tutorial is very informative and has been a great help in getting me aquainted with this incredible software. I am learning so much and I am now up and running with Superior 3. Great job!!! Thank you!
Date published: 2018-04-18
Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Saved me HOURS of searching for tutorial content online. This is exactly what i've been looking for, in-depth tutorial videos where someone else has done the legwork and all i have to do is watch. Many programs are not intuitive and you end up spending hours and hours with a 'trial and error' method, or trying to read a manual. This is a hands-on way to learn all the tricks of the program hands free. The vides are detailed, clear, and informative. I learned HUGE amount of information just in the 1st 3 videos. I went straight back on the site and bought the Logic Pro X tutorials. For the price, this is a no brainer.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Excellent tutorial Luke does a great job explaining some of the more advanced functionality in SD3. His vids go by quick, so you might have to rewatch a few to let it all sink in. SD3 is a very involved program and while Luke doesn’t/can’t explain every nuance, he gives plenty to get you creating awesome grooves.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from They've made it easy to understand I am a guitar player and never played drums before, I was afraid the language would be over my head but the videos are short and easy to understand. I can go straight into my SS3 soft wear and practice the lesson before moving on. I can also go back to any given video for a refresher and for me that helps alot.

Date published: 2017-11-24
Rated 3.5 out of 5 by from It covers most things but not all though I was left with questions unanswered even after watching all the videos. They need to have some videos that start from scratch building a kit and mixer buss steps to the final product.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Superior Drummer 3 Explained Being Composer new to the Superior Drummer line of instruments, I was very impressed by SD3 but wanted a short tutorial that was easily understood and got me being an effective user quickly. This video series did just that.
Date published: 2017-11-17
Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Great for Newbies! New to drum programming and drums. I am learning a lot already, not only from SD3, but as much from the SD3 Explained. I hope ther will eventually be deeper tutorials on SD3, such project oriented focus on building an x-type drum track, etc. For the beginner though, this is perfect.
Date published: 2017-11-10
Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Excellent tutorial series on a truly revolutionary product. I just picked SD3 up, and given the amount of things it's capable of, this was just what was needed to get moving with it. Luke is concise, well-spoken and clear. The only reason I knocked a half star off the 'ease' categories, is that I wish he would have stated the name of the video where further info on a particular subject was located ...that and I wish there was (and) hope there will be, an advanced user series. Other than those two minor things, it was outstanding!
Date published: 2017-11-02
Rated 4.0 out of 5 by from covers all basics this is a really nice explained series, and it covers all the basic. I wish they were slipt in less video number. I also think it'd be nice to include "superior drummer 3 advanced / power users" videos. also another suggestion would be how it interacts with other daws, or other VI drum software. my biggest problem with it is the numbers of videos haha. awesome value for the all access pass. cheers

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from The best gets better! ? As an avid SD2.0 user I was really looking forward to getting my hands on Superior Drummer 3.0. It has a huge code base compared to it predecessor, weighing-in at 230 GB. The learning curve (I'm still leaning) is not so bad. You can pull a lot from the earlier version, the concepts I mean but it not the same. This video has helped immensely and I'm particularly interested in using the built in plugins for the mixer. This video delivers what I wanted... and more. I know it a cliche but you don't know what you need until you see it... if you see what I mean. Anyway that my 2 cents worth. ..what's that? ... Okay! Got to go, my drummer's waiting! LOL ???

I took my time with this series, watching a little and experimenting a lot. Over the course of one go through, I feel like I have an excellent handle on my new drum product. I very much appreciate the time it took to develop this series and I value it greatly.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from One of the best Groove 3 tutorials This tutorial is comprehensive and well presented. There is a large number of relatively short chapters which makes it easier to grasp and return to the relevant part if needed. It was released about the same time as Superior Drummer 3 which made it extra useful to me. I think this also demonstrates how well Toontrack planned the SD3 softeare in every detail. Even this above average tutorial was a part their concept, I guess.
