Sorry to ask this here, but just need a quick advice:

I just installed Superior Drummer 3 and want to install the Core library now. The five parts are:

Part 1 - Basic Sound Library
Part 2 - Room Mics
Part 3 - Surround Sound
Part 4 - Height Surround
Part 5 - Additional Bleed

I will be installing Part 1 as that is required. I will not install parts 3 & 4, as they don't seem to be absolutely necessary and I don't have enough hard drive space for them either. Not to mention Toontrack Product Manager download speed is too slow!

So, my questions are:

1. If I can install one more library apart from Part 1, should I install Part 2 or Part 5? A little confused between these parts.

2. If I cannot install any other parts except Part 1, is it OK or will I miss something?

I'd go for the Room mics first. I also don't think I installed all of it. Truthfully, I usually end up with AD2 just out of preference, so I'm not sure how much the other mics are needed. Generally, if the room sounds good, it is better to use it than trying to add room sound with delay and reverb. However, when matching "rooms" sometimes it is easier to use close mics on everything and add the same reverb on. There's a little more to it, but that is the general idea.

Parts 3 through 5 are nice to have but unless you are doing something requiring surround sound, or big drum solos, they will likely get lost in the mix.

@dzilizzi Great advice, thank you. I appreciate the tip on mixing room sound. I will just download Part 1 first and see how I like it. The room mics might be a difficult to handle in the mix I guess. If space permits, I will go for Part 2 and call it a day as far as SD3 installation is concerned.

I think additional bleed is worth adding, but as I don’t have a surround sound setup I would have skipped those two libraries if I hadn’t just blindly installed everything

[LoveEnigma18]

@WatchTheGuitar Unfortunately, can't install both Part 2 and Part 5. I checked my available hard drive space and even Part 2 seems difficult.

[WatchTheGuitar]

Yeah, you won’t miss what you haven’t had tbf

Is this only on the Softube site or does it work with third party vendors?

This is only via the Softube site.

Uncle E mentioned a little while ago that Softube no longer allows most of its plugins to be sold via 3rd party. The only exceptions are Console 1 plugins, Volume 5, and leftover licenses/serials 3rd party vendors had in "inventory" from before the change.

They made an exception with PluginBoutique, but I think that was Brexit related as from January 1st up until very recently there was no way to buy Softube product from their site in the UK.
