For the factory library to work correctly, you must install the update:
Toontrack – Superior Drummer 3 Library Update v1.2.0
1. Download “Basic Sound Library”
– if you need additional microphones, then download from the rest of the * factory library only files with the * .obw extension , which are located in the Sounds folders . 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
