Now don't get me wrong, I'm a Dylan fan through and through but.....

O it do stuff, I soar it inna vid

Previously got 'em all, so.... Iinstalled! 🙂 Good plugs.

What it do?

Spinner. I'm not a studio for hire, so how long it takes to load a lib is never a concern for me.

IMO, the biggest drawback to using BFD is once you install an add on pack it's a mystery, at least to me, what it's called (whackiest naming convention from within the program). Maybe I'm just used to how ToonTrack, Slate and Addictive do it. You add a Ludwig <kit> and it's name Ludwig <kit>, simples.

AFAIK Drew (the original dev on BFD) is still in charge of development. He may or may not be hindered by InMusic management but he is at least making an effort to keep the product alive.

It works, until it doesn't. Given that nearly all songs I'm involved with use real human in-person live drums paled for the song, I rarely use any of my drum libraries except for the "demo" to have a sense of drums being there, not as a guide for the drummer, that is for them to decide what is best for the song.

Installed!

I store all my libraries on a single 16TB drive (E). I only have 6.5 TB free now. I also store "archived" Cakewalk project files there too. As well, I put my sync'd Dropbox folders there too. Wherever an installer allows me to declare a downloads folder I specify that drive with a unique folder name ("NI Downloads", "Toontrack Downloads", "IKM downloads" etc.), otherwise I keep individual VST/VSTi installers on my 4tb NAS drive and run the installer from there. That drive only has 526GB of free space. I have a secondary 4tb NAS drive that has 1.5tb free.

Installed!

Life's Been Good So Far

I have the EQ only and Premp/EQ version in UAD.

Bummer, can't stack this with my $75 voucher and the automatic $50 off (previous Lindell owner).

Yup, and I got my new $75 voucher today. I'll not be giving this voucher away.

Oooh, ooooh, I know, I know..... Just play the Am bass note.

Macca says "The Beatles" will release a final song that was a demo from the Let It Be sesions where they got a "pristine Lennon vocal" and some George work done too. I recall Peter Jackson saying that they used a tool they developed to reduce the guitars plucking during a convo between George and John and some background noise in the canteen with the lads having a deep conversation. Your opinion? Is really AI or is it just more sophisticated filtering/EQ/Compression tools not yet available to us mere mortals? I'm reminded of tools like Moises (albeit maybe more primitive based on Jackson's description) where you can extract vocal, drums, bas and "all other instruments" from a stereo recording.

I have 11 DAWs on my Intel machine running Windows 10 Pro 64bit. Not one of them has ever caused a conflict with any other one. Except for my 12th DAW that I no longer use. Samplitde installed its own version of ASIO4ALL that messed with every other DAW until I uninstalled it. I abandoned that DAW after that debacle.

So now this will be interpreted as my nomination for a worst cover. @PavlovsCat Don't change horses mid-stream 😞

Woe is me.

Maybe I'll demo it down the road, and/or wait for a sale that affect my already discounted price.

🤣

You could join in the over abundance of threads in the Deals section to express your feelings.

At least my any day discounted price is $125.07. Not sure I'm excited about this yet.
