Session Drummer 3 to audio

There are at least two easy ways to do that. One would be to use the Media Browser view to browse to where the actual loops are in the Session Drummer folder. Another way is to drag and drop them right from the Session Drummer. I have SD2 but I think it's works the same way. When you click a Letter to play a pattern, it shows in the box labeled MIDI. There's a little 1/8th note with a plus + sign to the right of the loop name. Click and drag that onto a Midi track.



To bounce the Midi to an audio track select both the Midi track and the Audio track being used by the soft synth and select Edit>Bounce to Track(s).

Be aware there is an issue with Session Drummer whereby the pattern you get by dragging from the SD interface may insert a different variation of the pattern in the track than what is playing in the selected cell. There's some kind of file-referencing problem. I spent an hour figuring out why the dragged pattern in the track wouldn't play the same as the pattern loaded in SD3.


So it's safer to use the Media Browser to get the pattern by name. You can also get to the pattern file by clicking on the pattern name in SD3, which will open the Load Pattern dialog with a conventional Windows Explorer view where you can seach on part of the pattern name, drag it from there into the track, and then just cancel out of the Load Pattern dialog.
