Hi,
I've got a new song out. It's called "A Miracle" - you can check it
out here:
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13621549
Yea! I like it!!!
Very engaging and I dig the solo especially around the 3+minute mark. Strat
sounds great!

Cool song John. Dig the 60ish sounding tone and tremolo.

I've had to wait a little while, as I was using a beta copy of
Superior 3 an dhad to wait until it was announced ;-)

I bring individual drum sounds out to the mixer in my DAW and do all the FX
and mixing there, so I don't use the mixer or FX in Superior, plus I play
Superior from my V-Drums, so I don't use any of the arranging or composing.

Is there anything Superior 3 does better when using it like that?

That's exactly what I do. The UI is revamped, and the new kits are over 200GB (!), so it's worth it
just for the new kits ;-)

I'm pretty picky about drum sounds, so 200GB of sounds that I didn't select
myself doesn't get me excited. I never ever use any of the Avatar samples
that came with Superior 2. I still don't like the way they sound at all.

I also hate it when software companies tout how much space they require as
if that's always a good thing. Cakewalk used to really tick me off by
filling my hard drive up with tons of stuff I didn't want or use.

I'd buy a stripped down version of Superior 3 that had no mixing, no
composing, but will load the *new* samples which I'm betting they will
intentionally make incompatible with Superior 2. Let me buy the sound
engine with nothing else, and then let me select the samples I want. :-)

Oh well, I guess you're not getting Superior 3 then ;-)

I figure bigger kits mean more articulations, round robins etc. Of course there are also way more
room and "surround" (really just more room mics spread around) mics too...

So far I haven't seen or heard of anything Superior 3 has or does that are
things I need or want enough to spend that much money on an upgrade. I
think I only had to pay $150 to upgrade from Superior 1 to Superior 2.

If I were to spend $200 (which I don't have anyway), it would have to be
for something that made a BIG difference in using V-Drums with Superior.

I'd have to hear the sounds. More can be better, but more can also just be
more. For example, I'd rather have a five articulation with no room mics
sample of a fantastic sounding snare drum than a 500 articulation and 12
room mics sample of an OK sounding snare. Maybe they will drop the price
to $100 to upgrade and then I might think about it. :-)

Unfortunately, when I clicked US dollars it went from 147 pounds
to $238.80 US. Either way, I don't have even 147 US dollars to
blow on music software right now. Gotta take a breather from all
the other expenses like having to spend $150 US on a battery for
one of the cars last weekend. :-/

The prior car we had was driven by SWMBO for 13 years. We kept it until
the needed repairs were higher cost than the value of the car.

We've had the current car for 4+ years. I put a ton down and financed
the rest at 0%. I got a pretty decent return on their munny during that
time ;)

My truck, was well used when I bought it. It's an '05 I bought in '09.
I still drive it when I need a truck. It needs ball joints pretty bad.
I'll prolly pony up a grand or so to get them replaced instead of going
in hock for a $50-60K truck. I don't see the point.

OTOH, I would LOVE to have a Yukon Denali XL. I rented one and drove it
in terrible winter weather this Jan past. I'm not willing to give up
$65-70K for the pleasure though.

I try to balance the whole vehicle cost thing. It's nice to have
something nice and reliable to drive, but I have limits :)

Oh well, I guess you're not getting Superior 3 then ;-)

So far I haven't seen or heard of anything Superior 3 has or does
that are things I need or want enough to spend that much money on
an upgrade. I think I only had to pay $150 to upgrade from Superior
1 to Superior 2.
If I were to spend $200 (which I don't have anyway), it would have
to be for something that made a BIG difference in using V-Drums
with Superior.

I figure bigger kits mean more articulations, round robins etc. Of
course there are also way more room and "surround" (really just
more room mics spread around) mics too...

I'd have to hear the sounds. More can be better, but more can also
just be more. For example, I'd rather have a five articulation with
no room mics sample of a fantastic sounding snare drum than a 500
articulation and 12 room mics sample of an OK sounding snare.
Maybe they will drop the price to $100 to upgrade and then I might
think about it. :-)

Here's the best deal so far

Maybe Black Friday will be better ;-)

If you would trade/buy a new vehicle every 3 years, you have to spend
munny on batteries! ;)
Not something I do ....

The prior car we had was driven by SWMBO for 13 years. We kept it until the needed repairs were
higher cost than the value of the car.
We've had the current car for 4+ years. I put a ton down and financed the rest at 0%. I got a
pretty decent return on their munny during that time ;)
My truck, was well used when I bought it. It's an '05 I bought in '09. I still drive it when I need
a truck. It needs ball joints pretty bad. I'll prolly pony up a grand or so to get them replaced
instead of going in hock for a $50-60K truck. I don't see the point.
OTOH, I would LOVE to have a Yukon Denali XL. I rented one and drove it in terrible winter weather
this Jan past. I'm not willing to give up $65-70K for the pleasure though.
I try to balance the whole vehicle cost thing. It's nice to have something nice and reliable to
drive, but I have limits :)

Or you could stay in and play with sampled drums - for a whole lot cheaper1
Just sayin...

Cool song John. Dig the 60ish sounding tone and tremolo.

Hi G'bo - thanks a lot for listening.

I've had to wait a little while, as I was using a beta copy of
Superior 3 an dhad to wait until it was announced ;-)

I bring individual drum sounds out to the mixer in my DAW and
do all the FX and mixing there, so I don't use the mixer or FX
in Superior, plus I play Superior from my V-Drums, so I don't
use any of the arranging or composing.
Is there anything Superior 3 does better when using it like that?

That's exactly what I do. The UI is revamped, and the new kits
are over 200GB (!), so it's worth it just for the new kits ;-)

I'm pretty picky about drum sounds, so 200GB of sounds that I
didn't select myself doesn't get me excited. I never ever use any
of the Avatar samples that came with Superior 2. I still don't
like the way they sound at all.
I also hate it when software companies tout how much space they
require as if that's always a good thing. Cakewalk used to really
tick me off by filling my hard drive up with tons of stuff I
didn't want or use.
I'd buy a stripped down version of Superior 3 that had no mixing,
no composing, but will load the *new* samples which I'm betting
they will intentionally make incompatible with Superior 2. Let me
buy the sound engine with nothing else, and then let me select
the samples I want. :-)

How about a car that has sampled drums that play pre-fabricated beats that
match their tempo with the speed you drive? The faster you drive, the
faster and more busy the drum loops get in an interactive game kind of way!

Unfortunately, when I clicked US dollars it went from 147
pounds to $238.80 US. Either way, I don't have even 147 US
dollars to blow on music software right now. Gotta take a
breather from all the other expenses like having to spend $150
US on a battery for one of the cars last weekend. :-/

The video game "Need For Speed II" had music that was controlled by the
speed of your car. If you came to a stop, most of the instruments would
drop out of the song and the tempo would slow down. Then when you hit the
gas and started accelerating, the tempo would speed up and more instruments
would get back into the music. It gave you incentive to go fast! :-)

Hi,
I've got a new song out. It's called "A Miracle" - you can check it
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13621549
I've had to wait a little while, as I was using a beta copy of Superior
3 an dhad to wait until it was announced ;-)
You won't hear anything drastic - but it is using the Pearl kit from S3
Otherwise - the usual suspects.
Trilian Bass
Some Kontakt instruments
the Strat and Tele
Uhe Diva
I also started using some new compressors, and mixed in to a little buss
compression on th edrum buss and main buss.
All comments welcome ;-)
Don't forget - CDs (including my newest one "Pull the Other One")
are also available at https://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/JohnBraner
and all the normal streaming services.

I like it.
