The included processors work well enough that I stopped using multi-output mode to do processing on SD2 stems. It took some processing to get the default drum kits to sound big and slamming, but the included processors work fine. The samples are recorded beautifully and the room sounds wonderful. The GUI alone is super nice - you’ll never want to look at SD2 again. If you’re already using SD2, the move to SD3 is a total game-changer. I’ve been at it for over 40 years and I still love it more every day. I’m a professional recording/live audio engineer, producer, mix engineer and musician.
