Maybe give it a shot in Reaper and see if that works better. In CW I get random crashes. Didn't realize they had that much expansion packs. Nice looking ones too. Nice selection of snares and cymbals. Maybe. Got until when? Dec 5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhonoBrainer 2,020 Posted November 19, 2022 Can anyone suggest the best cymbal pack for BFD? A long time ago I had BFD2 and BFD Eco had a Zildjan add on, I loved those cymbals!!! But then BFD took a dump and BFD Eco disappeared into 32 bit oblivion. I now use SD3 but the cymbals in SD3 are a bit lifeless by comparison. Thx! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grem 4,192 Posted November 19, 2022 @PhonoBrainer I was able to get my Ziljan Digital Vault pack brought over to BFD3. I don't know if they still doing it but you have to send in a request to support. And they will fix ya up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAGinz 671 Posted November 19, 2022 Yeah, that was one thing that worked for me, as well. Another thing that worked surprisingly well was getting a full and free copy of London Sessions (all of the core BFD2 drums) because I was an owner of BFD Eco. Eco (no longer supported) contained only a rather limited portion of what was contained in London Sessions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's on my short list because it includes cymbal brush samples. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jngnz 630 Posted November 20, 2022 So I got this as well as 3 extensions and I had no trouble authorising or downloading or whatever. One time, deleting the track BFD was on caused Studio One to crash (MBP M1 Pro, Rosetta) but I figured out how to avoid that (deactivating the instrument first). No further issues so far. This thing and especcially the Tama kit from the Modern Retro extension sounds so *****ing good that I pee myself a little every time I'm playing it. It's almost literally like playing the real kit. So much better than AD2 it's ridiculous. Worth every bit of trouble so far. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerrydf 217 Posted November 20, 2022 22 minutes ago, Jan Schmitz said: Yeah, I bought Jazz Noir and it's great. Agreed. See the demo on YouTube or the BFD site. Just bought it. I got BFD3 yesterday. Sounds are great. User interface is almost at Windows 3.1 level. My main misgiving is the reports of the flaky license management, Does anyone know what happens at the 90 day mark? Don't tell me Elon Musk is about to buy the company. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why you're making this sound like a bad thing. Unless the upgrade will be $299. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pseudopop 1,083 Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Am I stupid or is the Dark Farm expansion the only one with a list of the actual instruments included? Every other page just says something generic like "it has some toms". Do the expansions come with a manual? Edit: In case anyone else is interested the included instruments can be found here: https://www.fxpansion.com/support/faq/ Edit 2: But not for every expansion, it seems.

Grem 4,192 Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Loaded BFD in Reaper today and man those cymbals do sound good. Didn't have time to play as much as I wanted... but it's got me wanting some of the expansion packs. Forgot to add that I had to reauthorize BFD3 and all my add ons. (This happens every 90 days?) It did work with no bumps today. Will give it a workout tomorrow. Edited November 21, 2022 by Grem 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
