I've been struggling to get Superior Drummer working with Ardour through yabridge.
(It seems to work but I get no window to view SD in so I'm not sure?)
However, even if I launch SD through Bottles, I have no drum sounds installed since I had trouble getting the Sound Libraries installed.
That is besides the point, though, as I don't necessarily need Superior Drummer specifically...
My goal is to be able to pick from a list of drum riffs, set a tempo, and drop them into Ardour some how to then record guitar over.
Bonus if there are any good metal drum tracks to use, and bigger bonus if there are options outside of 4/4.
I really know nothing in this space and can only use Ardour enough to record my guitar input. Is there any software out there that can make this simple for me?
(I prefer free software but am willing to torrent and try any Windows stuff if need be).
Ardour has a loop library since version 7. Maybe that could be a start.
Personally i use a plugin by ugritone drums if i want to record drums via midi. They have great rough drum sounds for metal/punk/*core-music.
