I am contemplating buying EZ drummer, but I am tempted to buy BFD 2.0 since I got this 30% off coupon. I need something to replace my not-so-cutting-edge-anymore Roland R8m.

I am currently using an Alesis SR-16 to do my drum tracks with, not being a drummer I find it hard to create my own Drum Loops and fills so pretty much just use the presets and process the Bass and Snare drum seperatley in pro tools.

I'm interested in getting either reason or BFD to make artificial drum tracks for my recordings.
i am curious about the pros and cons of each if i am looking to make rock recordings.
help please!

I was wanting to know how to make my own drum beats on it without having a keyboard or v-drums. Is there any other options other than that?

I'd like to use pre-recorded drums to trigger BFD or DFH. I know that in theory I need to convert the different drum tracks into midi notes and then route it to BFD or DFH.

I know that in Logic you can do that, but what about in Cubase SX2? Is there a free Mac plugin that will do that?

Thanks!

To all of you who use BFD --

I'm really interested in purchasing it, but I had a question first.

After you're done programming the drums for a song, can u record each sound seperately into Pro Tools?

Like... Kick seperate, Snare, Hi Hats, stc.

Or does it have to be recorded into Pro Tools as one stereo track?

i have installed BFD for anyone who familier with it.. which is greate.
but since i'v installed it any midi even i record is being recorded with delay .. the audio is fine, the midi plays ok .. but only when i record and then play it after ... the midi events in the list editor are delayed ... any idea about that?
thanks.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Can this be used on either Cubase LE or Pro Tools LE? Does BFD have any issues on either of these?

Oh, and is BFD as good as everyone seems to think it is? What else is out there in BFD's league?

Thanks!

well i finally got this great program working.
but now when i use this in conjunction with pro tools it lags and is very choppy.

i am using a powerbook G4 1 ghz. 512 ram.
m-audio radium midi keyboard. brand new.
pro tools 6.4 for osx.

if i max my ram to a gig will this help the problem?

has anyone else experienced this problem?

i am trying to install this thing but having some troubles. its not installing properly from the disc. i got the update file and installed it that way. now i just have to drag the files from the DVD onto my hard drive.

can anyone who has this tell me specificly where the files and folders should go? do they have to be anywhere specific?

thanks a lot.

cheers
