Toontrack SD3 reverb issue

[greg54]

I'm using Toontrack SD3.   I like drums to be pretty dry.   For those of you familiar with SD3, when I go to the OH and AMB tracks and turn off all the reverb, I still have reverb on the snare - doesn't matter which snare I use.  

I did not install the mic bleeds.   So all reverb and echo is off on all drums parts.    The toms and kick are pretty dry.  But the snare is not.    I emailed Toontrack, and they asked me to send a sample, which I did.  But they said the sample sounded normal.   So I listened to it on my laptop, not my recording computer, and the snare sounded normal - fairly dry.

So it's an issue with my recording computer.  It's not the audio monitors, as I use 2 sets of monitors.   But for whatever reason, it's mainly the snare I have an issue with.  

Having said that, the Toontrack EZKeys that I have inside the project has little to no reverb at the moment.   But when I first open the project each time, there is a lot of delay on the keys.   When I open up Toontrack EZKeys, it goes away and is normal.    But not so with the drums.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Greg

Could be some sort of input echo or you have the audio routed to two tracks or buses? Try opening a new project, insert an instance of SD3 and route the audio directly to your master out. Does that sound any different?

This is a new project, so the drums are routed to the Master bus.   I don't think the audio is routed to 2 tracks.  But I will check it out.

Thanks!
