Ultimate Studio Drums II: The Sequel - GB Discussion Thread

[Squids]

a question about global updates

if you miss one, are all the changes still in each update

i seem to have 2 updates in my account for gb1 (update 2 & 3)

it seems i've downloaded no:2, though i don't remember...it has a tick , but i know i haven't installed it

should i just d'load and install no:3, hoping it contains all preceding fixes, or do i have to go in order ???

cheers....

and what fixes are in each of the updates ???

Might be confusing to discuss USD1 right now. But, real quick, the Global Patch Update 3 encompasses all previous and is all you need. You don't need 2 anymore and actually it should be gone out of your account now. Just 3 brings you to the latest. Changes were new hi hat scripts for V-Drums and the Gadd snare is routed correctly - a few other minor tweaks on things.

I'm confused I was one of the first 200, maybe even 100 to enter and I have not received anything so far? I just went into my account at esoundz nothing?

Well, that's not supposed to happen! If you email allen (at) esoundz (dot) com he is going to work a bit over the weekend. He'll make sure you're all sorted don't worry. Sorry about that! Not sure why that is but he'll look into it for you.

I'm such a doofus. I picked two kits that I had already gotten from Group Buy I (Drum Masters 2 JB Session Sonor® Kit and Drum Masters 2 NDV Premier® Kit) Is there a way to switch those two for USD2 Blues MT Kit and USD2 RingBeats MT Kit instead?

What's next? Well... something completely different for SampleTank users is coming soon but it isn't drums (or maybe a little bit) and... well, you'll see.

Taos Kit!

Nope sorry. You can enjoy them twice. Just kidding. Actually, the patches are updated with new hi hat scripts if you're a V-drummer. But, seriously, Allen our support manager will verify and fix that for you no problem. It might have to be on Monday though.

Taos Kit!

That's being released next week!

I was out tonight, so I missed a lot. Let me try to catch up....

Many thanks to allessandro63 for the epointz.

I too am excited about the Taos kit!

568 ain't too shabby! We tried for 600 and we almost made it. Not too shabby! And we have an amazing number of drum kits! Amazing!

And lastly, congratulations to the drawing winners! Enjoy!

Great GB guys!

[Squids]

Okay, a little update here... we're all too tired to finish the rest tonight so we're looking at tomorrow - scrounging up the skeleton crew. Should be okay. WORSTE case would be Monday but I'd really like to get you the rest of the kits to play with over the weekend if at all possible. It's a lot of stuff to do for a lot of people! But we're making it happen for you as best we can. I'm pretty tired myself and might hit the sack early... it's been a long week. Well, at least you guys have PLENTY to play with for now! A lot to download as well and it might even be good not to overload the servers (the main reason for the phases in the first place) even though it seems to be running a lot smoother this time! (probably because so many people did the DVD option... and none of this matters to them anyway!). I know some of you are anxious to mess with the Bruford kit and the Copeland one too... it's coming real soon don't worry!

[Beardedone]

YAY SQUIDS and the Esoundz team! I love you guys!

[2busdriver]

Wouldn't you think that the last person to join the Group Buy should win a prize? I'm just sayin'. haha,

edit: holy smackers am I glad I squeeked in!

If previously posted sorry, I missed it, as this thread is unsearchable, afaik, so:

In case it helps anyone I'm posting a list of the Group Buys items: USD1 and USD2, as far as I understand it so far. The following may contain errors! Please correct the list if you desire or, as Squid directs. I'm trying to get organized myself here with the file management and did spend some time to textedit this list, so just posting in the spirit of the group, in case it has any value to save list editing time. The digits are the files size listed in my download area. I haven't tried to sort the list yet. I'm sure there's something missing but here's the USD1+2 lists as I understand it:

HAHA, I made the same mistake and chose 2 Kits I already had from the first GB. I totally lost track what I already had with all these amazing Kits on my HD.
