Working with Neil Peart today...

[Squids]

Dave - can we pre-order and use epoitz? Or order without the discount and use epoitz?

No because this is a DVD not a download. Also I am not sure if the coupon system and epointz work at the same time. I don't think so. But it saves your epointz for the next time.

[Squids]

Well it is kind of like a race. It looks like we'll have Neil Peart for Infinite Player in 2 weeks and for BFD possibly this coming week... both are done it is just a matter of the things to do with FXpansion and NI that will finalize its release! So roll on Neil Peart Drums!

That's awesome Squids.

OK, so I have pre-ordered the Infinite Player version, but if the BFD version comes out first, I would like to grab it (buying both anyways...).

I think you mentioned a crossgrade deal or something for those interested in both versions. Is that true, and if so how would it work?

I think I'm hyperventilating.....

Thanks,

Mike

Same question, can the pre order be applied to the bfd version? Or hopefully the process is in place to handle the cross grades first.

I'd love to download these products. Can't be much bigger than the last two GBs. Plus i have a 50 Meg connection at home looking for data

[Squids]

Yeah no worries. If the BFD version comes out first Allen can swap it out for you. Let's see what happens. Also the crossgrade is just $50 (and ironically the coupon we did was $50! So in a way you can say the crossgrade is FREE then!). So as soon as we "officialize" things with FXpansion this week we'll have the BFD version for pre-order or possibly even shipping straight away and at that time we'll have the crossgrade options either way (BFD to IP or IP to BFD). You know us! These are the kinds of things Allen will accommodate you with anyway but we ARE working on ways for these options to just be in the back end of esoundz under an "upgrades/crossgrades I qualify for" tab where the discount is already made. That's something we've wanted to do for awhile. Customized cross-format options and things like that to make it easy to get what you want. Some time this year it will happen.

Thanks. You guys are going to LOVE this Neil Peart kit! It's incredible. So expressive and powerful! A good one for the collection.

Squids,
Any update on the expected shipping date for the Infinite Player version of the Peart kit?

[mike1k]

I'm pretty sure we have reached the two week countdown!

I know, because I haven't slept in two weeks

[Squids]

Squids,
Any update on the expected shipping date for the Infinite Player version of the Peart kit?

IP version depends on NI's schedule for getting us the encrypted version we can sell. BFD version is in beta right now. Should be ready really soon though.

[luddite]

And time goes by so slowly......

Any signs of any Pearts around the corner?

cheers

[pimenta]

SO I guess it is a bit delayed? ANy estimate Squids? I am one that although pre-ordered in Infinite Player format would prefer the BFD2 version ....


Pim

[Squids]

Both versions are done, just some final steps before it is released. I think some time next week it should be out.

[pimenta]

Thnak you Squids. Pls just let me know how can I get the BFD2 version instead of the Inifinite Player version I pre-ordered.

PIM

Looks very promising. Finally a drum kit library with a wider selection of toms for extended fills/rundowns, etc. Most other libraries seem to subscribe to a modern minimalist approach and have only 3 toms sampled (or 4 at most). Thankfully, Neil is not a "less is more" kind of guy.

[luddite]

I too am keen on the BFD2 version which hopefully can be shipped at the same time?
