Loading Your First SD3P Preset

  1. 1

    After clicking "File," a dropdown menu will appear. Find and click on the "Open" option in this menu.

Beginner's Tip

Can't find your SD3P files? They might be in the "Downloads" folder if you just downloaded them, or check the location where you saved them. If you're still having trouble, try searching for ".sd3p" in your computer's search function.

Saving Presets for Quick Access

After loading a preset, save it for easy access in future sessions:

  1. 1

    Save Your Loaded Preset

    After you've loaded the SD3P file, look at the top right corner of Superior Drummer 3. Find the menu labeled "Drums and Mixer Presets" (it might have a gear or dropdown icon). Click on it and select "Save As..." from the options.

  2. 2

    Give Your Preset a Name

    A window will appear asking you to name your preset. Choose a name that will help you remember what this preset sounds like (for example, "Rock Kit - Bright" or "Jazz Brushes"). Click "Save" when you're done.

  3. 3

    Refresh the Preset List

    Go back to the "Drums and Mixer Presets" menu and click on "Rescan User Presets". This tells Superior Drummer 3 to look for any new presets you've added.

  4. 4

    Find Your Preset for Future Use

    From now on, you can quickly access your saved preset by clicking on the "Drums and Mixer Presets" menu and looking in the "User Presets" section. Your saved preset will be there, ready to use with just one click!

Organization Tip

Create a system for naming your presets to stay organized. For example, include the genre, mood, or project name in the preset title (like "Pop-Bright-ProjectX"). This will help you quickly find the right drum sound when you have many presets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an SD3P file?

An SD3P file is a preset file format used by Superior Drummer 3. These files contain all the settings for a complete drum kit, including which drum samples are used, how they're mixed, what effects are applied, and more. Think of it as a "snapshot" of a perfectly set-up drum kit that you can instantly load.

Where can I find SD3P files?

SD3P files can come from several sources:

  • Included with Superior Drummer 3 and its expansion packs
  • Downloaded from Toontrack's website (some are free, others are paid)
  • Created by other users and shared online
  • Made by yourself when you save your own drum setups
Can I modify an SD3P preset after loading it?

Yes! Loading an SD3P preset is just a starting point. After loading it, you can adjust any part of the drum kit to your liking. You can change the drum sounds, adjust the mix, add or remove effects, and make any other changes you want. When you're happy with your modifications, you can save it as a new preset for future use.

What if my SD3P file won't load properly?

If you're having trouble loading an SD3P file, try these troubleshooting steps:

  • Make sure you have the correct expansion pack installed that the preset requires
  • Check if your Superior Drummer 3 is updated to the latest version
  • Try restarting Superior Drummer 3 and your DAW
  • Verify the file isn't corrupted by trying to load a different SD3P file
  • Check Toontrack's support forum for specific issues related to the preset you're trying to use

"Presets for Superior Drummer 3 are pretty killer. Ready to go in matter of seconds to make my recordings sound punchy and very dynamic! Thanks Jaroslav for your awesome work!"

★★★★★

"Jaroslav helped me make a more efficient session that sounds clear and powerful, all while using less CPU than my original template. By combining elements of his templates and mine I was able to shape my Austrian Death Machine mixes into exactly what I was looking for. His drum templates in particular helped me see my mix from a new perspective, and it wouldn't sound nearly as good without him."
