Superior Drummer 3 VST does not load

[Nikomedia]

Hello vA-Fans,

maybe one of you can help me here.
I try to load Superior Drummer 3 as a VST into vArranger but it just don't load (it tries now since an hour). As you can see in the picture I attached, EZ-Drummer is no problem at all.
Hope you guys know a solution.

Best regards from Vienna, Niko.

Is it working in another VST host?

[Nikomedia]

Yes Dan, in FL Studio for instance it works just fine.

Thanks for your reply!

[Dan]

If you press the windows key, (or alt+tab) do you see a message hidden in the task bar?
Can you right click on FLStudio icon and run as admin, and test the VST2.4 dd of Superior Drummer 3

[Nikomedia]

No massages hidden in the task bar.
I don't know how to test the VST2.4 of SD3. I have just one 64 Bit dll for the VST (Superior Drummer 3.dll).

[Dan]

ok, so test it with admin mode in FL

[Dan]

I don't see demo version in their website, so I ask them if they have something for me to try

[Nikomedia]

Thank you very much for your effort!

[Dan]

Is it working if you run FL Studio as Admin?

[Nikomedia]

Yes, I tried it as admin too and it works as well.

[Dan]

Did you update the VST to its latest version?
As we can find here : https://www.toontrack.com/forums/topic/sd3-crashing-and-still-no-no-sd3-support-forum/

[Dan]

Did you move the VST DLL from the original path where they were installed?

[Nikomedia]

Good morning Dan,

yes, I run the latest version of SD3 which is 3.1.5.
I installed everything on custom pathes, but did not move anything after installation.
I now will try to install on the original pathes, maybe it works than. I will tell you.

Thanks again for your help!

[Nikomedia]

Nope, with the original pathes it does not work either

Best, Niko.

Depending on your operating system and bitness of the plug-in, the default Toontrack install path/location will vary: :

    The default install path for a Toontrack VST plug-in on 32-bit Windows is:
    C:\Program Files\VstPlugins\Toontrack -----dll

    The default install path of the 32-bit VST plug-in on 64-bit Windows is:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins\Toontrack-----dll

    Finally, the default install path of the 64-bit plug-in on 64-bit Windows is:
    C:\Program Files\VstPlugins\Toontrack----dll

"Finally, the default install path of the 64-bit plug-in on 64-bit Windows is:
    C:\Program Files\VstPlugins\Toontrack----dll"

Exactly this is my path (Windows 10 64 Bit).

Luckily SD3 Plugin works in FL Studio without any problems. In vArranger I can use EZ Drummer. So it is not a big issue for me if SD3 does not work in vArranger. I just wanted to know if anyone had the same problem and found a solution.

Best, Niko.

Toontrack got my message and they told me, they will answer me later

[Nikomedia]
