Doesn't matter if your in the US, if you pay in pounds it will cost you US$ stated above (or there about's depending, exchange rates etc), at least that is what it was earlier today. Looking at it now if you pay with US$ you will pay $199 (VAT excluded) if you pay via Pounds it is 122.50, going by conversion rate now (depends where you get the conversion rate from, but) that equals around $157 US (select currency upper right). I'm in Australia and it nearly always works out considerably cheaper to pay via Pounds at Time+Space, which is what I do. Less with code
Say NO to CLAP!

I'll probably get it, I own Ez2 and all expansions and Superior 2 and all expansions, never use them though, and likely wont use this, (I just like to own everything so as I can give it a decent try to find out for myself what I think is best, then it's my OCD which insists I keep the collection complete) BFD3 is just head and shoulders above anything else out there, time will tell if Superior 3 will de throne it, although I think I will be still waiting for something better than BFD3 after SD3 is released
Ha jinotsuh, I am 180° the opposite, use TT all the time & BFD3 hardly ever. Even thinking of dropping BFD3 to part fund SD3. Don't ya just love the diversity of music? 8)

I think most of the Toontrack kits have a sameness to them. Like they have been running everything through the same mellow channel strip since day one. It's professional but boring. Nothing ever really grabs your attention. It doesn't seem to matter who the engineer or producer was. The sound is just the same, always.

These kits are massive in size. I don't think it will be worth my while upgrading unless I get a sudden GAS attack. You never know when those attacks can occur, so I won't rule it out completely.

Swells are pretty much easy with the ADSR module in SD2. Just set a cymbal for swells and increase the attack on its ADSR.
No need for external samples or specific libraries.

Well, I think that is the nature of the beast. All of them have that to some degree. Plus with samples shit ain't glued together like real drums even with bleed and such so I takes a lot of work imo.

yea finally updated to the 21st century. Kind of a pricey upgrade though. to me it looks like their own take on what AddictiveDrums has been for a long time. Might be better sounding though, we shall see.

230gb, my gosh.. even without the surround library content, that's an enormous amount. I guess that means they're only gonna offer digital download other than the hard-drive solution a la Komplete. Upgrading the current engine is quite desirable but I know that such big sample libraries usually push me back.

It's too bad that (it looks like) you can't download the kits or the kit pieces individually to save space. Like, if you download the "bleed" package, you're going to get the bleed samples for all six kits.

I dont know much about superior drummer, rarely used that sort of thing but it just seems a huge waste of money. A bit overpriced considering you can just as easily buy sample dum loops for a lot less. Yes, you dont have mixing options but you have beats played by actual drummers in real time.

why buy synths when i can just as easily buy synth loops played by real people? does that make soft synths overpriced?
I don't know what to write here that won't be censored, as I can only speak in profanity.

No, because you play softsynths. You dont play drummers. Unless you call holding a note down with your index finger playing.

your analogy is flawed. Superior Drummer isn't a "drummer", it's fully equivalent to a soft synth. it just happens to produce acoustic drum sounds instead of soft synth sounds. you can play it on a keyboard, if you wish, or on an eDrum set.

:dog:
Maybe becuase I like to make drums play exactly how I want them to fit my songs that no drum loop samples can do for me? Maybe because I want to mix everything myself to get the sound I want which no drum loop samples can do for me? But he hey, why should I spend a pile of money on expensive guitars when I get get a guitar/bass sample player? But hey, they cost money. Maybe I should buy guitar/Bass loop samples to to the drum loop samples. Then I don't need to spend time making my own drum loops, tune the guitars and bass and record and mixing it. I can just drag and dropp samples and watch some more internet porn instead. :hihi:

I never want my drums to play exactly how I enter them on the grid.
