I play acoustic drums, and use them for my recordings. I used to have a Roland v-drum kit and used it in tandem with BFD 1, 2 and 3. I was happy with the overall experience. I will say, when fxpansion sold them to inmusic there were speedbumps relating to the transition, new authorizations etc. My sense of things is that fxpansion was a better company to deal with. I used Toontrack's Drum Kit from Hell wayyy back on the day, when the tech overall was in its infancy. At that time, BFD was a step up. In summary, BFD3 is a good product but the support side of things is maybe uncertain.

Define "better".....

Ike Turner's band. Arguably, this is the first rock and roll record.

+1 and it boots up quicker and overall noticeably snappier.

Lotsa shuffles here: https://groovemonkee.com/products/jazz-buddy

Love BP but no, he didn't invent the shuffle beat. He likes to claim credit for lots of things. Check out his claims of playing on Beatles songs instead of Ringo. Ahem. As far as using shuffle beats in your music, assuming you have a drum VST that includes pre-rolled MIDI grooves, there are usually shuffle beats in the collection. I wouldn't sit and move beats around in PRV. That sounds about as enjoyable as picking fly poop out of pepper. Myself, I'm a drummer so I just play a shuffle as required...

Laika and the Cosmonauts....

Glenn had the answer.

A huge part of mixing on speakers is that you don't keep your head precisely fixed in one place. You get a sort of 'averaged' impression of the sound at different points because you're constantly on the move.

I created them at WebKnobman. There's a learning curve but once you figure it out you can whip up whatever you want.

Captain Nemo will be very unhappy.

Folks were having difficulties running Sonar and the Blackbird 11 years ago. http://forum.cakewalk.com/m/tm.aspx?m=2171451&p=1 I mean....think it's time to upgrade.

V-Vocal was prone to crashing at least once or twice on the best of days.

Camel Crusher is 32 bit only afaik so...are you running a 32 bit Windows or using a bit bridge or...?

There's a translate function...

Dodgy power at a garden party led to running 100 feet of garden cords in series....the voltage sag at the end of the line, my Fender tube amp, was hilarious. Lay into a chord and it just lost all oomph. You could literally watch the speaker cone flapping.

The Blackbird came with a mixer utility. Have you checked and made sure it's not introducing a delay? The BB was a firewire 🔥 interface and that protocol is mighty long in the tooth. Might want to find a new USB interface and utilize your Onxy channels via ADAT.

Just to clarify, the meters work fine when the plugin is instantiated either in FX bin or in PC. What buggers up the meter is opening a preset. That toggles the plugin "off" and freezes the meter. Only way to unfreeze the meter is to delete and re-instantiate. I checked in Reaper and it does not exhibit this behavior with the meter nor plugin on/off when a preset is selected. Reaper has no equivalent for the Pro Channel, of course. So... I think it's somewhat Cake specific but as you say presumably it's Softube's bug to fix.

Highly recommend Vic Firth isolation headphones for vocals tracking. No click bleed, whatsover.

When I insert the FET in the Pro Channel, it works fine except the meter doesn't move. Also, when selecting a new preset it toggles the PC slot "off" is that a bug or. ..?
