In the bottom of Search for Instrument - you can select if you want to preview the instruments in Search for Instrument through new mixer channels for the close mics. One scenario could be that you have low volume on the current snare's close mic mixer faders, and when you preview a stack it will (by default) create new mixer channels. If you change the "Route Close Mics to Mixer Channels" to "Existing", the stacked snare will play through the current snare channels.
When you load the stack it will also use this setting...Maybe much information 🙂 But try it and see what difference it makes.
Thanks Henrik! This worked. After I found a snare I liked, I just switched it back to the "Route Mics to Mixer Channels" setting before loading it because I wanted the stack on it's own fader. Extra step, but not a big deal.
Side note, I absolutely love the Velocity Gate and Soft Hit adjustment settings which may have been available in SD2. Not sure because I didn't use it much. The MIDI grid editor is amazing as well. It's nice being able to tighten up my drum tracks after a few beers😉 I've been recording drum tracks with my e drums directly in SD3 using the record function in song creator which I also love so don't EVER get rid of that please! I absolutely hate all DAWs. Too much much bullshit.
Thanks for the help!
