So they claim it's a smaller type of upgrade, basically.Īnd someone here said they didn't like the libraries added to BFD3. Someone on theįxpansion forum said they're beta testing the new BFD4, but they mentioned how it should take quicker to release after beta testing compared to BFD3 because "BFD3 was a complete overhaul".
My fave is the splitsticks instrument, which is perfect for a lot of the rootsy Americana or Tex-Mex stuff I write.Īs I said, the price for SD3 is too high for me. I still have and use several of their excellent kits & wish I had bought more. My biggest regret is that Analogue Drums no longer exist. However I have downloaded version 5 which does work & sounds pretty good.Īll generating more confusion, but it really does come down to trying as many options as you can before spending your hard earned dough.įWIW I personally believe that SD3 has the most "joined up" way of operating, particularly now that EZBass and EZKeys can now be interconnected using the new-ish Audio Sender.
BFD3 DRUMS NO SOUND UPGRADE
I went through nightmares with Steven Slate Drums Mk4 when it first came out, even getting a free upgrade to the Platinum edition, none of which ever worked on my computers, even with one of there very helpful & friendly support guys taking over my machine in real time from USA (and I lived in UK at the time). have you tried all the freebies yet? Always worth a go. There are any number of other drum romplers out there.
No idea what BFD3 is like these days but the original developer has I believe, sold out to one of the box shifters, so I would be nervous of the future of it. I recently sold on my Addictive Drums products & dumped BFD at BFD2. I started out with EZDrummer & then bought the original Superior Drummer, so I have a long history with them. Who knows if they'll decide to release a revamped new version which will make buying version 3 right now a bad deal?įWIW I am a beta tester for the whole toontrack range. There are a bit more options with BFD3 that make it a bit more affordable, but as I said I don't know about its age. I might buy SD3 if I can find someone who resells a license for a decent discount, but I can't find any.
BFD3 DRUMS NO SOUND PC
I recently built a new PC with SSD and 32GB of RAM, so I think it should handle the heavier libraries. I know AD2 is also compressed and processed so it might have the same issue. In Ezdrummer I think because the samples are premixed there were situations I just couldn't make it sit well in the mix I needed. I write music with progressive influences so it needs to allow for more depth and body. I'm not necessarily looking for the overly-compressed sounds often found in metal.
More simple/straightforward, lighter on memory, but just as well featured. However for an occasional/hobbyist I'd recommend Addictive Drums 2,
