If you guys actually made music you wouldn't have time to be the brownie-button spam police.

lets turn this into a useful thread.

did you buy bfd xfl out right or did you have the first bfd and then get the xfl package?
if so how do you compare the two, i'm thinking about bfd but its expensive and the xfl package is mo money mo money which for me equals mo problems. so how do you compare the two?

Agreed.

I originally purchased BFD and then upgraded. The only real change in XFL is the data. There's more, lots more drums. It is a little more than 30 gigs of space! It is best to keep this data on a separate hard drive. The money / time spent on BFD will be far less than the money spent on acoustic drum recording.

If you actually made music you wouldn't have time to spam the forum.

I got a question for the BFD upgrade users- I really dont have disk space to spare for 30 GB of drums- do you have to install every sample? or can you just install what you like?

good question, i'd like to know also.

You can install what you like, even parts of a drum. For instance, if you use D-Drums you can save disk space by removing snare flams and drags.

Well I recorded BFD and XFL so I figured I was already shameless

Well I could mention Devine-Machine Lucifer a couple times... my first real self-made C++ goodie...



I'll be pimping my debut record plenty this winter

I knew that, but I suspect some folk might like to know of those who walk (or erm, type) among us when they're trying to hype their stuff on the back of your work...

hence the wink...

And please do tell us when its coming out...

how about this drum nine thingy, what is this going to be like, i'd be pissed if i got bfd and then what i really wanted was this drum nine. anybody know anything about it.

They're completely different. Drum Nine is a general purpose drumsampler/synth, sampling workstation, groove box and loop mangler, and primarily aimed at tweakers. BFD is more of an expandable ROMpler engine specialising in very high quality multi-channel acoustic drums and an easy to use interface.

i got it thanks for that explanation, can you tell me what the eta is of drum nine?

and one more questions angus, in what way is the the drum nine going to be more for tweakers and manglers than dr008?

ETA for Drum Nine is end of this year / beginning of next

Drum Nine is a direct evolution of DR-008 (well, at least to the extent that a 777 is a direct evolution of a DC-3). It's no harder to use than DR-008, but, the way I see things... if you're not in to some fairly heavy tweaking, then you probably then you probably want either high-quality "real" drums (in other words, BFD), or canned loops with some degree of mangling (in which case, there are a swarm of products out there, of which Stylus RMX looks like it will be best-of-breed by far). Drum Nine is for people that want to make their own beats, with their own combination of sounds, and have the freedom to twist things about to an extreme degree. It also serves as a general purpose sampler, but one that's much more about grabbing phrases or one-shots and editing them or messing them up, rather than playing back big multi-layered libraries.

ok thank you once again. I understand alot better.
it looks like maybe bfd and drumnine might be right up my alley.
what i do now is sample my drummer, then mangle that, but it's imparative that I keep the element of my drummer within my samples so I was looking for something that I can accomplish a similar workflow with on stuff i do outside of my group. I am specificly looking for another drumsampler to combine with the up and coming sampler of energy xt and ableton Live, but how to get the estetic of my drummer into the box with all of that was a problem hence bfd. I wasn't aware that drum nine was going to have such a sample editing focus until now, sounds like it will be worth waiting for and a better choice than my first thought of option of dr008 and the musiclab midifiles
bfd/ drum nine sounds better.

especialy sense wusik drummachine sampler is canceled now.
