Every instrument included in each MIDI file is listed and every hit can be altered, deleted, added, moved or muted. From there, you can use the Grid Editor to literally edit the grid and fine-tune the performance down to the tiniest detail. Drag and drop your MIDI files into the timeline to organize your song. Every groove is labeled by name, family, intensity, power hand, rhythm, bars, and tempo. To refine your search for grooves and fills, you can choose different genres, play styles, types of grooves and rhythms. Once headed over to the Grooves page, you can start creating your own drum beats either by drawing them in manually or by using material from the comprehensive MIDI library. Using these mixes as your starting point, you can easily swap out individual instruments and continue crafting your own unique kits using the built-in sound design tools, mixer effects and features. In addition to presets by George Massenburg himself, the library also includes ready-made drum mixes for a broad range of genres by top engineers like Bob Rock, Mark Lewis and Richard Devine.

In addition to close microphones and several ambience positions, the Superior Drummer 3 setup also includes eleven room microphones set up in a surround configuration, for use in anything from stereo to 5.1, 9.1 and all the way up to 11.1 systems. It was recorded by award-winning engineer George Massenburg at probably the world’s most quiet and ideal location for sampling, the Galaxy Studios in Belgium. The massive 230+ GB library of drums offers seven full kits as well as a total of 25 snares and 16 kicks. The main Drums section, which is displayed when opening this plugin, will show a fully controllable drum kit. The layout is divided into four sections: Drums, Grooves, Mixer and Tracker. This drum production program comes with a unique design, specially crafted to improve the workflow while making music. Superior Drummer 3 is the company’s flagship drum production tool, offering unrivaled control and flexibility for producing professional drum mixes for any genre, right in your computer.
