I would like to make the BIAB RealDrums or BIAB MIDI drum track sound better by letting Superior Drummer be the MIDI sound engine. Does anybody know how to do this?
Also, can Superior Drummer be used to improve upon a RealDrums audio track? If so how?

You can Edit > Copy Special > Copy/Move Tracks...
Copy the Midi on the Drum track to a Utility track
load SD3 into the plugin slot on that track.

Just use the RealDrumChart of the RealDrum then you can get the punchier drum sound.

Thanks for you help Pipeline! I'm going to do what you suggest. However, what do you mean or could you explain what you mean when you say "Just use the RealDrumChart of the RealDrum then you can get the punchier drum sound."?

If the RealDrums were Multiple channels you would be able to adjust all the levels individually but you can't do much with stereo drums, so if the Drums have an underline Drums it means they have a midi file with them and you can adjust all the levels and get what sound you want 'punchier' or otherwise.

Thank you Pipeline.
A great tip.

I used it with Logic. Both the included Logic Drum Kits as well as EzDrummer Kits.
It worked pretty much as you explained.

Perhaps this is one for the tip jar (or wherever tips go)
Very useful for those of us trying to better control the drum tracks of our projects


Question.
When imported into Logic the DAW created a single track for all the parts of the drum kit.
I can explode them to separate tracks if I wish.
Do you normally find it useful to split each drum voice to a separate midi track in the daw?

Again Thanks,

Geeze

In a DAW you can split to separate tracks and route those tracks to the VST or route the VST sends out to separate tracks.
In Biab you can use Advanced Mixer for Biab Win/Mac
