Toontrack – Superior Drummer 3.3.6 + Basic Sound Library & SDX Factory Content (WIN/OSX)

1. Download “Basic Sound Library”
– if you need additional microphones, then download from other parts * of the factory library only files with the *.obw extension , which are located in the Sounds folders . We move these files to SL-SuperiorDrummer3/Sounds/ ( move only *.obw files, not the Sounds folder )
* I recommend downloading the second and fifth parts (parts 3 and 4 contain files for surround sound).
2. Download the Superior Drummer 3 Library Update v1.2.0 and run Sound Updater.exe (Windows) or Sound Updater.app (MacOSX)
3. After the update, launch SD3 , click Settings – Libraries / Paths – Add Library Path(s) … – and select the SL-SuperiorDrummer3 folder

1. From the list of distributions of SDX libraries, which is presented here, download only the folder with the name SL-( library name )
2. Run SD3 , click Settings – Libraries/Paths – Add Library Path(s)… – and select the folder SL-( library name )
– It is possible to add all downloaded additional libraries with one click: Create a folder (for example) SDX Library , in we throw all the SDX libraries into it, click Settings – Libraries / Paths – Add Library Path (s) … – and select the SDX Library folder (this will add all the libraries at once), see the screenshot for an example:

1. From the list of distributions of EZX libraries, which is presented here, download only the folder with the name EZX_ or EZX2_( library name )
For Windows users:
2a. Move the downloaded folder to C:\ProgramData\Toontrack\EZdrummer\ ( by default, this folder is for storing EZX libraries, as well as folders with MIDI MIDI grooves )
EZX Library Folder Names:

– If you want the folder for the EZX and MIDI libraries to be in a different place: Create a folder (for example) EZX Library , move all the EZX libraries into it, as well as the MIDI folder, rename the EZDrummer folder along the path ( С:\ProgramData\Toontrack \EZdrummer\ ). After opening SD3 , in the Grooves tab you will find the error No MIDI library found

click on Libraries Settings and in the tab Additional Libraries select the folder with libraries EZX Library , reboot Superior.

For MacOSX users:
2b. Move the downloaded folder to /Library/Application Support/EZDrummer/ ( by default, this folder is for storing EZX libraries, as well as folders with MIDI MIDI grooves )

If you get an inscription like this after the update:

This means that when updating over the old version, the new version of the plugin was installed in a different directory than the folder where your other plugins are located. Always pay attention to this:

Often the plugin is automatically installed in the folder: C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins\Toontrack
To correct the situation, it is necessary to move the plugin with the new version to the desired directory with the replacement.
