Toontrack – Superior Drummer 3 v3.2.8 STANDALONE, VST, AU x64 (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)

– 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:
